I like the back end, very stealth.

The dealer had the rims installed. When I saw it on the lot it already had rims on it. With MSRP of 51k plus rims. I got it for 45K plus tax. Thought it was a good deal so I took it. I feel like I got 5k off MSRP and free rims. If I were to bought rims I'm sure it wouldn't that exact rim, but its growing on me and anything other then a stock rim looks better to me.

Rims and tires were already on the car when I bought it from the dealer. Performance car it isn't, but its not a slug either.

Its my car seat carrier that looks good. With 10 airbags and a 5* crash rating good looks, not to big, but big enough and 275HP is good for this. It will get the job done until the next kid comes along.

Don't worry the mall parking lots, and traffic filled freeways of Los Angeles don't need fogs. We don't have back country roads or heavy fog in Los Angeles. Now if they made smog lights we would be in biz.

That's one mean black beast! How about adding one of the body lowering kits(front&rear spoilers, etc) not exactly sure what they're called, like those pictured on p4 of this forum titled "Some Lexus meet in Japan"? (I'm assuming they're kits???) I know I saw some elsewhere in this forum, too. I REALLY like the look of them.

I think I prefer the carbon look, to the solid black. Can the rims be "carboned"? Maybe that would help the look. Just a thought.

Can't wait for the next batch of pictures!

I'm sure there are already lowering springs available by some Japanese company, and I think smoked window visors would compliment the look your going for.

I really like it. That black paint looks "a mile deep!" My only change would be to lose the roof rack. I got a 2013 nebula gray one without a roof rack and I think it looks sportier without it.
