Default PICS of my week old IS!
Ive had my IS for about a week now and finally got around to taking some pics...

I just put the blackouts on yesterday and am very happy with them. Along with the rear blackouts I put on the smokeouts for the reflectors and the fog light overlays in smoke. I also took the dealer badge off.

Let me know what you think!

With no fog light overlays...

Rear with no blackouts or smoked reflectors...

I got them from www.aerotect.net

Cost was about $155 shipped for blackouts for the rear, the reflectors, the fog lights, and a set of red outs just in case I didnt like the blackouts.

Thanks for the compliments.

Looks good, and it'll look even better once you get your tint! Now you need to get some black pearl emblems, too... Where did you buy from, Sewell?

What is the point of blacking out the taillights? In my opinion the original ones look so much better.

They are a tint/film type of material. Very sturdy, applys with a bit of water and pressure.

They were somewhat difficult to put on, but not impossible. I am happy with the result.
