I think those yellow wheels look stellar. I don't think I'd have the nuts to roll with em, but they're sick on that car!

Edit for disclaimer: I mean they're a bit flashy for me because I'm a bit shy about that kinda stuff...but they look amazing and I love it!

My pleasure. It was a lot of fun. Haven't done a night shoot in such a long time. We'll do something again very soon.

Thanks. The G25's do have that very luminous prism clearcoat finish found only on certain JDM wheel finishes.

Thanks guys. I will keep you all in mind on the next opportunity.

1BAD4DR, I will extend the invite to you under one condition, that you keep your personal beef or issues with others elsewhere. We're all here for the love our for one thing...our Lexus cars.

Here's what they look like in the daytime.




lol There's no secrecy here. It's an AutoCouture lip that I purchased brand new from a previous F owner who purchased it directly from AutoCouture's facility in Japan. He and his wife were moving and did not need the F anymore, and I didn't feel like waiting for the one lip I really wanted for my car. The finish isn't primer; it's bedliner spray, as I got tired of the chipping and paint scraping from driveways and steep inclines.

From what I understand through Carson Toyota/L-Tuned Parts, AutoCouture no longer makes this lip, but LEMS Japan has pretty much an identical mold that they've produced in a carbon fiber form. The AutoCouture lip was MSRP $750, and LEMS Japan, well known for their carbon fiber products, has it listed for much more.

Great reference to Regulators in the first line of your post too. I wonder how many caught that, lol!
Hahaha yes! Good eye. Thanks, it definitely fits the "Blending Out" theme for the 3rd Generation IS.

Yeah that's the beauty of modifying cars. It's like a blank canvas you can personalize to your tastes. Forget what everyone else thinks.
