We are located in Houston.

The I<3COPS license plate is real. When heyarms and I drove to California (separately) to the Pursuit in SoCal, I kept getting pulled over by police just to be hassled. So, I made it as a joke and wrote "I <3 COPS" on my blue painters tape that was on my hood. After doing so, I got pulled over again and the cop really got a kick out of it, took a picture of it with his phone, and shook my hand. It's just kind of a joke. This car is my daily driver and since getting this plate I have seemingly not gotten a ticket... Can't wait for that conversation to go down!

Karasha HRE is BALLER!!! all you need is coils :P....

If you guys come to socal again, and if we go down again for the next LA lex event lets do Norcal, Socal, and Tex wald photoshoot
We definitely want to come back out to SoCal again for the Pursuit... but this time only take one car. Or we've been considering renting out a flatbed trailer that can pull both of our cars. Haha! It was really fun and everyone at the meet was so friendly and Club Lexus itself (namely Ryan, Flipside909) was so hospitable. It speaks volumes that we would want to drive 24hrs again just to make it!

I would coil the car, really, but it's daily driven and I like the height that it's at right now. Daily driven includes Houston's nasty roads that are made for lifted trucks, going to the barn, ect. One day I'll probably give in and go to the dark side.

Thanks! The XXX-XXX is just what our photographer PS'ed in on the pic's he touched up. I have a normal plate, but really want to get a custom black one like Karasha! It would be fitting for my car!

Great WALDS!
Thanks Rash, Yeah a friend wanted the same setup too until i think he realized that the bronze would not go with his car whatsoever. I was pretty nervous about receiving them after i ordered them if they would work or not (even built an IS version of my RC car and painted some wheels the same just to see how it would look haha), but i feel they go with my car well now.

Both cars look sweet. Are the headlights and fog lights tinted on the second IS or just the fogs?

Awesome outdoor pics. Love the rolling shots. Great looking cars. Puts most ISx50 to shame.

Keep it up Texas!

The housings are blacked out on both the fogs and the headlights.

They are powder coated a color very close to MRM. Had my car sitting at the shop for about a month so I pulled them off. Came out pretty nice

Thanks, they're very hard to capture, glad the photographer did so well!

I do want mine lower, but the fronts already rub a lot... And the rears I finally had rolled, but I don't think the wheels will tuck, sooo any lower and I'll be scrapping the lip of the wheel on dips and driveways..,
