Default My blacked out 08' IS250

Whats up guys, first post here. This is my 2008 IS250 with a few mods, and of course more to come.

Currently running Nokya 2500k Hyper Yellow fogs lights with stock HID's. Removed the parking lights to get rid of that ugly halogen at night. They are more yellow in person than in the picture but not that bright when it comes to output of light.

Plasti-dipped my rims black along with the front grill. 20% tints all around. And a very light smoke on the taillights.

Pics taken from iPhone 5, more pics in the daylight to come. Any suggestions on what to do next are more than welcome, thanks!

Well if you're really into blacking out you might as well use some more plastidip on the emblems and rear reflectors

Looks good. Black out head/fog/tail lights , reflectors , emblems and window trims too if you're going for the blacked out look

Looking good. You need a roof spoiler and redout those amber parts on the tail lights.

Last 2 pictures are upside down....

RED-OUT tails, plasti-dip emblems. Plasti-dip orange reflector on side of headlights(looks amazing when done). Wouldnt really call it blacked out as it is. Overall, off to a great start and looks sharp.
