Hello everyone. I am new to Lexus and let alone Hybrids. Btw, I came from owning a modded M3 from head to toe for several years, to this. Decided to start customizing and adding modifications to the car the second I got it.
Any questions or comments please feel free to drop a line.
Hope you all enjoyed the pics!

Yes indeed they are the EZ lip pro kit. I have not found any lip kit for this vehicle, only seen the BRANEW kit but only available in Japan. So I had to improvise and went with the the most aggressive lip I could find in US. Very happy with the product.

Oh so nice !!! It's what a hybrid should look like.
I had 2 M3's myself before I came into the HS. It's like learning to drive all over again. Plus, I was tired of the tickets.
They love to mod their HS in Japan also. So all those BRANEW that you might covet are available to be shipped to the US. All you have to do is pay big bucks and wait for about 3 or 4 weeks for them to ship !!
I love the drop. A HS takes on a whole different character with a drop. And those brake calipers? Where, and from which model did you get those calipers?
And, do you have a workshop manual yet?

The RS*R Down springs definitely made a nice difference which I believe should have came from the factory. I wouldn't mind another inch or so lower on top of it. With the lip kit, it finished off the ground clearance where I'm happy with, although there's still a decent amount of wheel gap. However, my wheels are already poking out with wide and aggressive offset so closing down the fender to the wheels gap may not be such a smart idea.
The brake calipers are factory units painted with G2 brake caliper system paint using a brush. I then layed down Lexus caliper stickers on them, then triple high-temp clear coated the entire calipers to protect and seal.
What's this workshop manual you speak of? I plan on wrapping the interior wood trim with 5D carbon fiber gloss wrap and also get an oil change / air filter all sometime this week!

Nope, just Charcoal 3M 1080 vinyl. I just love messing with stock front ends of Lexus hybrids. My other is a 2013 GS 450h that I modified the front end to make look more contemporary.
