Ace Paint and Body 2014 IS250 F-Sport build (rebuild)
Been lurking on this forum for years. Now it's my turn. I picked up my 2014 IS250 back in February 2016. Didn't really have big plans to mod but I recently got into an accident and I thought why not do a few upgrades. Lucky for me I'm in the family business in Orlando, we own an auto body shop in Winter Park, Florida called Ace Paint and Body Works. It's still a work in progress (when is it not though?). We are putting the vehicle together as I type this. I'm super excited to have it back soon. Here is a mod list (more pics to come).
Exterior
Solid Black roof with three layers of clearcoat.
Front bumper grille painted solid black
Front bumper lower portion painted solid black
Carbon Creations front lip spoiler
Carbon Creations Rear lower lip
Ebay Carbon Fiber trunk spoiler
Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
Interior
Carbon Fiber Steering Trim
Carbon Fiber Shifter Trim
Engine
F-Sport Intake
Exhaust (still trying to find a relatively quite but aggressive looking dual tip exhaust, suggestions welcome).
Will post pics once the work is done. If you'd like to follow the work in progress please check out my shops Instagram page @acepaintandbody

Oh No!!! Well best of luck to you in hopes that it gets repaired as new as possible!
If youre looking for an aggressive but quiet exhaust, a lot of members go to tanabe axelbacks. Theyre quiet and have no drone. I have the invidia axelback and its loud-ish when you want it to be, but quiet elsewise.
beautiful! Cant wait to see what you are planning to paint!
Is that the AR style carbon spoiler from ebay that were much talk about in the identify this spoiler post? Looks so good in this angle, just like the original. Wish it wasnt sold out T.T
New Changes Today. Repaired, repainted, and Re-Cleared the Carbon Creations rear diffuser that I purchased from Extreme Dimensions. They did send me another one that was slighly better but I just kept it and fixed the bad one (I have an extra one if somebody wants to buy it). It was a quick fix, the top portion of the diffuser was very rough and it was painted black. Once it was repiared it was repainted and re-cleared to give it more of a pop and boy does it pop now! Need to take more pictures when the sun is out but this gives a decent idea of what it SHOULD look like new.
Also debadged rear lower badges and painted lexus emblem satin black.

thanks for the picture! I love it. I'm gonna need to pick one up as soon as they get them in stock.
They said they will be in stock this week, but they told me now they dont know anymore when its gonna be.. so instead, I bought this which seems to be similar https://www.ebay.com/itm/Real-Carbon...ef15%7Ciid%3A1
Thanks, I noticed that as well. The only difference is that the other one is coming from HK and the original one was in socal. I wanted see them in person before purchasing. But it could all be from same company.
