Very hot looking car. The MRR wheels are nice but more importantly are very good quality. Nice work.

Close. It's the factory grille completely resprayed using a flat black spray paint from Home Depot. I wanted a "slight" change with the grille. I even sprayed the aluminum trim ring around the edge, and then installed a brand new emblem. Total cost--$25, couldn't beat it.

Beautiful ride man! I LOVE the wheels. The whole wire mesh/bolt pattern puts a NICE touch on the car. If you don't mind me asking, how much were the rims and tires?

They were about $2500 plus shipping wrapped in Falken FK452 rubber.

Also, as long as it isn't against Club Lexus rules, this car IS FOR SALE, the link is here:

I know someone on ClubAristo that has a car just like yours. I have rock chips on my grill so I'm thinking about chroming it, then painting it black...
