Damn looks good, I wish I got mine's in blue. Can't wait til my kit comes in today. How hard was the install and how long did it take?

Thanks @kzlflash I actually didn't have the time to put it on myself, I was in a time crunch to get it on in time for the Amped event at Magnussen Lexus this weekend. The guy at the shop told me it only took him a couple hours... don't think he had to use a lift either... but I'm at OEM height still.

Which kit did you get?

On another note... I bought my car with the fogs having yellow film on them from the previous owner. They have LED bulbs, im thinking to peel them off, but also thinking the film would somewhat protect the lenses as well... opinions?

Thanks! And no, I haven't blacked out the trim yet.... but it's my next "to do". Not sure if I want it vinyl wrapped or plasti-dipped (I know, I hate saying it). Met a guy who does super clean spraying of plasti-dip... and I'm kinda leaning towards that as long as it comes out clean. 2 out of 3 people who do vinyl wrap were honest with me and said that the vinyl would shrink a bit and a thin chrome line might become visible as they cannot get under the weather stripping. But yes, I dislike the chrome trim a lot, so it will be taken care of one way or another.

Thanks! I was considering the vents but like the OEM look on the fenders without filling them with more carbon fiber. Exterior mods are done except for Blacked out window trim and Lexon Roof Spoiler which I should be ordering soon Then it's to performance with Novel headers, and possibly Novel exhaust....

I don't think anyone is saying that that he REO50A is not a good tire as much as the Michelin is the better tire. I personally feel that the Bridgestones had a slightly stiffer sidewall but the michelins have a significantly higher grip level IMHO
