Damn, another accident? Sorry to see your car like take a hit like that. I'm pretty sure the rear quarter got cut and and a new quarter panel got welded on. to the other driver, what a douche for not caring or admitting he is at fault. Arguing with him will probably lead you to being at fault for being in his way lol. Glad to see your car back on the road.

It's great to hear you were able to get the car repaired and it wasn't completed destroyed.

Glad to hear the fix job came out great. Personally, I like the OEM style rear light better.

Wow sorry to hear and you're local too!.. but glad that looks fixed now. I'm getting back my IS from the shop at Lexus on the park tmrw.

btw how did you make your exhaust so lined up with your rear gfx? I have F sports and they have a small gap..

well IMO i actually think they are lined up pretty good...just my HKS is bigger and i guess they seem more lined up...in any case, you can tighten the exhaust hangers a little bit and that will probably bring it up 1 - 2 mm max...otherwise you are going to have to get shorter hangers to lift them (i don't believe in using zip ties to bring it up...just not reliable)...but ya...gaps are annoying huh? lol

Holy cow! That's some serious damage! Good to know you and the car are ok now.

By the way, those smoked tail lights look good.

^^ I liked how the lights looked with no tint, but have to admit I like them even better with the tint.

oh i haven't tinted them yet...i can't since the holiday season have things backed up everywhere...that pic is just exactly the way it looks..i guess my previous pics are being over exposed and it looks more bling than it's supposed to...

but still under direct sunlight i still think it's a little bling :S if i end up tinting them, i'm thinking about smoking my rear reflectors a bit..haha we'll see how i feel about them in 2012!
