not really, they worked a sweet deal for me, they are hard up for some preowneds and dropped the price to compensate me.

Here it is with Venture Shield on. My lights are not on, pics taken using flash. In the second picture, you can see the line where the Vensure Sheild covered ended - mainly visible with flash, but other than that you have to really look for it as it's pretty much inviisble unless one is trying to look for it.

^ Good choice getting the 3M clear bra on the front end. Those kinda blue colors really show rocks chips after a while!

Looks great, like the color and the wheels. I could live with those factory wheels without going aftermarket. I've had my 2011 for eleven months, still can't get enough of the LED lights. Kudos to Lexus for the best job of incorporating the LEDs within the headlights of any manufacturer. Enjoy your new Lexus.

What did you lower the black one with? I like the ride-height. It looks just right! Not too low and not too high.

My black one was lowered on eibach pro kits. 1.4/1.0" I believe. I have a set of s-techs I'm looking to sell probably, I believe they're 1.6/1.2" unfortunately I can't use both sets.
