Well it has finally come,well the front and sides at least.
The rear bumper I will pick up tommorow,as the dumb *** ordered the wrong veilside part for me.I said the rear bumper,not the spoiler fool.

Well i guess i will pick it up tommorow.

Well I have a question for all of you.
My car is two toned white(top)/silver(bottom) should i go with all white or stay with the two tone of white and silver.

here is how the car looks with the kit on in one tone

here is a LS with a kit in two tone
https://www.clublexus.com/cgi-bin/cl...JPG&img=16&tt=

But do you guys think it will look better in 1 tone or 2 tone?

Many props bud!

I actually have these same sideskirts but other front and rear parts. My car is black with limo windows and it looks very mean and stylish. If I were you, I would have my car all white. It adds a lot of style and has no reminder of stock gray on it.

Congrats on your very tight kit again man

I saw your lex @ member rides and it looks like you have some heavy tint on your car right now. I think black/white combination is enough for the variety and most of all it would look sharp like this kind of car should. Thats just me though...I like things look sharp and strickt.

Eric, At first I thought that doing the white/grey combo would be OK, but after seeing other kits I can say that all white looks better. Sorry dude, I know it will cost you a bit more but it just doesn't look as good as the black/grey combo (like mine).

If i go all white,i would have to pay for it myself,but if i stay two-tone my parents will pay for it,plus my parents like it that way.

Well two-tone it is.Plus my parents are not very fond of me buying the kit,when they saw it in the garage,boy were they pist off,and then they saw the price:eek:

They are not so fond about all the crap that i have done to the LS.I better do it two tone just to make them happy about something

NOT living with your Parents is the best thing on the planet (well, almost the best...top 10 for sure)! I love not having to hear it...

Some girlfriends are equally annoying sometimes ("why do you always buy stuff for your car and never for me"...well, let's see, my car is RELIABLE and doesn't come with a ATTITUDE PROBLEM? )

I would go with all solid color. It looks more masculine in my opinion. The two tones are not bad, just that to me with undercolor all the way around it looks like the top is sitting on the bottom instead of it all being smooth and flowing together.

The only problem is that if I go all white,it will remind me of a benz,avalone,and those other large sedans with one solid color,but i will just have to see and wait.
