looks good! IMO the emblems look better painted rather than plasti-dipped!

I"m not a fan of plasti-dip myself, painting everything is a smoother look in my opinion

I like the IS's chrome, it's not "too" much, and looks good on the car.

Car looks great. Love the tails. I need to look into doing that. Did you have a paint shop spray them?

thanks dude, a good friend of mine owns a customization shop and his buddy did the painting. he's frikkin awesome! he'll do any shade of tint or totally black out whatever you want. I wanted my taillights to look red still without lookin like the oldschool plastic covers.

I agree. Just wanted to add a hint of a lil sumthin sumthin to make the car stand out to people who know what they're lookin at without going overboard, ya know? subtle hints of this and that.

**UPDATE** just got my new black FSPORT license plate frames, lol out with the chrome ones! if anyone wants to buy them cheap! haha
