Hello everyone. I am new to Lexus and let alone Hybrids. Btw, I came from owning a modded M3 from head to toe for several years, to this. Decided to start customizing and adding modifications to the car the second I got it.

Any questions or comments please feel free to drop a line.

Hope you all enjoyed the pics!

Wow! Awesome ride. I didn't even know they made skirt kits! Did you get them from Japan?

And welcome to Club Lexus!

A3OD

Would be cool if they were from Japan lol Don't know how many people actually mod these cars or if any at all, let alone in the US.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

A3OD - Standout HS. Nice work.

Magellan55, the skirts appear to be the EZ Lip or similar universal lip kit.

A3OD

Yes indeed they are the EZ lip pro kit. I have not found any lip kit for this vehicle, only seen the BRANEW kit but only available in Japan. So I had to improvise and went with the the most aggressive lip I could find in US. Very happy with the product.

Oh so nice !!! It's what a hybrid should look like.

I had 2 M3's myself before I came into the HS. It's like learning to drive all over again. Plus, I was tired of the tickets.

They love to mod their HS in Japan also. So all those BRANEW that you might covet are available to be shipped to the US. All you have to do is pay big bucks and wait for about 3 or 4 weeks for them to ship !!

I love the drop. A HS takes on a whole different character with a drop. And those brake calipers? Where, and from which model did you get those calipers?

And, do you have a workshop manual yet?

A3OD

Hello. Glad to know there's a former M3 / sports car owner in the HS forum community. Yes it's definitely.. different. Like the opposite of an M3 but of course in a good way with different approach to motoring experience. I used to get at least 2-3+ speeding tickets a year in my M3 which I've taken over 180+ mph. It's a trouble maker lol but definitely fun car.

​​​​The RS*R Down springs definitely made a nice difference which I believe should have came from the factory. I wouldn't mind another inch or so lower on top of it. With the lip kit, it finished off the ground clearance where I'm happy with, although there's still a decent amount of wheel gap. However, my wheels are already poking out with wide and aggressive offset so closing down the fender to the wheels gap may not be such a smart idea.

The brake calipers are factory units painted with G2 brake caliper system paint using a brush. I then layed down Lexus caliper stickers on them, then triple high-temp clear coated the entire calipers to protect and seal.

What's this workshop manual you speak of? I plan on wrapping the interior wood trim with 5D carbon fiber gloss wrap and also get an oil change / air filter all sometime this week!

This looks very clean

A3OD, love the look of your HS. Can you post a daylight shot of the front? I mildly customed mine, but yours look better.

corradoMR2

Your front looks good. Plastidipped?

MSAGRO

Nope, just Charcoal 3M 1080 vinyl. I just love messing with stock front ends of Lexus hybrids. My other is a 2013 GS 450h that I modified the front end to make look more contemporary.

Where did you get those fog lights from and the bulb size?

MSAGRO

just stock fog lights with yellow LaminX film. My girlfriends ES 300 H has it also.

Hi, Nice car and mods.

What Yellow bulb is in your headlight? Is this your DRL/Highbeam? Thanks.
