Default IS F, IS F SPORT & FR-S Night Shoot in DTLA

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon...haha not quite but it was a bit hazy and chilly last night in Downtown LA. A few of us decided to do an impromptu night shoot in the Downtown LA area. You may recognize some of these spots from the 80's shows we grew up with like Knight Rider, CHiPs and etc. There was even an upcoming movie being filmed right next to us featuring Kevin Hart.

bnizzle87, Integress, my friend helloimgil from Club4AG and I met up last night and did a quick photo shoot in and around Downtown LA. Check out bnizzle's newest mod...OEM LED foglamps!

Here's Integress' set of pics: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post8208955

Awesome, pictures turned out great! I like how the G25s have that oil slick color to them in certain lighting.

Nice cars, all of them. Normally I wouldn't be in to the neon green wheels look on something classy like a Lexus, but it actually kinda works on the new 3IS. Pictures are sweet too.

Great reference to Regulators in the first line of your post too. I wonder how many caught that, lol!

Yeah. It's RAYS/Volk Racing's new Prism Dark Silver finish, available currently for the G25 and G27. Sizing is 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, as that is what's currently offered from RAYS. As much as I wanted to go a bit wider, it wasn't a necessity for me.

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.

Do you think FIGS makes his 2 pc rotors and 90 duro bushings for our cars in house? NOPE these parts are all sourced from other manufacturers just like me. Does FIGS list his sources? Absolutely not.

If you have any issues with how I acquired the products i sell in the FS section.. you can PM me before calling me out.
