Not my taste, but you seem to putting time effort money into it and doing it the proper way, not some hackjob with craigslist rims and zipties. Main thing is your happy.Not everyone here is into VIP fashion, and on the same note, not everyone likes what your going for, to me stock is always the best option ha

If you wanted a wider stance then should have gotten a staggered setup. All you had to do was grind the bottom mount of the strut to make them fit with out raising. I have a es 350 with 22x8 frnt and 22x8.5 3piece wheels and lowered to sit flush. With 235/30/22 nittos. But to each his own. Was just trying to help.
Nice work on your new Lexus, love the front mesh grill, i have the SMS billet grill laying at home waiting for the install. The wheels are too much for my liking, but still tasteful, specially on a white car.
I thought about that grille i love the trim around the emblem area, but didnt like how you can still see the oem grill begind it and it was a noticeable difference from the E&G
How much farther are you going to modify the car ?

I just bought my 2008 ES 350 2 weeks ago. I'm somewhat older than you are but tastes are similar. I think it looks great! And vmoor004 is right. If you love it, that's all that counts!

Nice tinted taillights man! I have a question. Please help me LOL. I got the same type of tint last year and applied it but I never got the adhesive part.
Like how do you peel apart the adhesive? I ended up applying it with tape and it looked cheap and fell off. So how do you get the sticky part? The film felt the same on both sides.

being that you are constantly cutting the tint, there is no definite edge to separate the tint from the the adhesive protecting cover, so it takes a second to get it separated.
first cut the tint bigger than u need it to be, then take a razor blade to one of the edges and pry the two sheets apart, make sure the tint and the surface you are tinting is very wet with solution (i used Windex). then use place the tint to the surface, squeegee the surface then mold the tint with the heat gun and continue repeating that until the desired results, then last cut off the excess tint
