Default Started modding my 3is!!!

Hello CL,
Today , I decided to get my windows tinted with 15%. Also, If the weather permits I will be spraying the calipers Red wih the "Lexus" decals this Saturday morning . Lastly, I want to change the fog light bulbs . I just wanted to share minor mods I'm starting out with . I will update this as I get things done .

Before tints



Getting the tints installed


All done

Nice tint job..

I suggest save your money and buy colored calipers when break upgrades are available. I feel that it cheapens the integrity of the Lexus if you paint the calipers...this aint no civic yo! lol...

Most likely I will upgrade the brakes later on but for now Panting the calipers red with white Lexus decals is better than Oem metal looking besides it gives the car a better look . Painting the calipes is less than $50.00
