Default Finished my IS350, Photoshoot time!!

Hey guys, so I finally got my IS350 where I want it... just need to get it professionally detailed but that's it. So, I did a quick photoshoot today... Enjoy!













A quick mod list:

- Vertex front
- GFX rear
- Universal sideskirt lips
- Megan EZ coilovers
- 19x8.5/9.5 +15mm 88Rotors LM replicas
- Taillight red-outs
- Vibration dampener
etc...

Looks simple and clean! Very nice! I did notice though that the front bumper looks a little dull compared to the rest of the car. Are you planning on doing anymore little mods or is this it?

Thanks guys! Yes, the front bumper has a clear bra which I presume adds some dullness. I'm going to take it to a detailing place (Gotham) and see if they can possibly remove it and bring up the colors a little more. You can see the front lips is freshly painted and it pops much more than the front bumper it's on.

Nice, simple and clean. Love the vertex front.

Great looking rims. A good detail will make the car "pop" even more.

They should be able to polish that clear bra up to a nice shine

Agree that your stance is really.

Any shots of the interior? I do not know if its the lighting or not, but it looks like your interior is redish/brownish-saddle color?!

I would recommend getting AP2 tips to complement the simple and clean look of your car

Looks pretty nice. I agree with the dull bumper. Are you planning to clear the lip? Nice pics btw.

I didn't know that it was possible to get some shine from the vinyl. That would be nice if I can keep the clear bra and get more color out of it.

I also like AP2 tips, maybe sometime in the future. My interior is stock beige... I don't have a picture of just the interior, but this one shows it a little better:

Thanks man, I don't know what the ezlip is, but mine are universal sideskirt extensions 79" long (which fits perfect). Here's a link where you can see them (and yes, they go under the stock side skirts).
