Added the quad beam LED headlights, TRD spoiler and Aimgain roof spoiler a few weeks ago and got the car lowered a bit more in the back.
Took some pics with the SLR.. Enjoy!

No rubbing at all?

This thing is pure sexy. The front badge is the only thing I'd change. I'd swap it for the non 3D version paint black to match the back badge.

Either way. Beautiful job.

Wow that thing is sick! Honestly one of my favorite builds.

Curious as to how you're running such low offsets though? I always see people commenting on here how anything more aggressive than +35 front +38 rear will rub

Thanks man!
I have the fronts rolled slightly. Only thing it rubs on is my fender liner (which reformed with a heat gun)

No rubbing in the rear after I got my alignment done. Minimal rubbing in the front.
I wanted to use my black pearl emblem but since I have the radar cruise control, I can't use it

It's impressive that Lexus utilizes this badge area for the radar. Most of these other cars including BMW and Mercedes have sensors all over the grill that are visible.

Sideskirts you can use the same from '14-16 models. There was no change there.
Only front lip that I know of for '17 front end right now so far is Artisan Spirit from Japan.

Like SpecOne said, Artisan Spirits is the only one so far for the front. Rowen has one they are working on which should be releasing sometime this month.

I'm really digging the new headlights and am disappointed that we can't get them as an option in the US. Was there any difficulty in installing them and how much did they run you if you don't mind me asking?


Also, the three LED's are the low beams while the projector on the inner are the highbeams, correct?

Would it be possible for you to post some nighttime pictures of them in action?

I'm thinking I might get an IS and these lights would be something I want to add to the car if I do indeed get it. Also, does the car come with power folding mirrors?

They were plug-n-play for whiteIS33
Connection harness was no different.
