Default SCSurf's Build Thread

This is my first build and first nice car haha. So I got the mod bug and this is what happened so far:

2014 IS 350 F-Sport
Current mods:
  • 30% Tint
  • RSR Downs
  • Black Pearl Emblems
  • BeatSonic DVD/Nav override
  • 19" Avant Garde M580 Dolphin Grey

HUUUUGE shoutout to Kevin at 168 Motoring for the work and hook ups!

This is what the car looks like when I first got it (sorry the pictures suck. Taken off an iPhone)




And here's the first mod, 30% tint all around.



Then I put on black pearl emblems... The chrome trim needs to be wrapped though.



Dropped on RSR Downs...




Annnd the new wheels put on.

Wheels look great! I was considering these wheels in matte black. Would love to see them from more angles!

Wheels look awesome. Subtle mods make a big difference. Are you happy with the black pearl emblems? I may go with them but don't want to wrap the rest of the chrome. I don't know if it will look weird leaving the chrome tho.

It won't let me add additional pics, but here's one for now. Sorry the pics are grainy. I had to use extremely high ISO since I took these at night.
