ugh. The ebay motorsports is strong in this one...

Upside down fogs, pisspoor LED R8 AUDI OMG headlights.

Lose those, fix the fogs, and a spacer out back and it will look 'proper'

I dont like the stock headlights at all, not a big fan of mine now but they definatly arent bad have had complements on them. Not spacing out the rear due to me selling these wheels and throwing a better offset.

Welcome and nice purchase. Would of been better if you bought it stock and built it yourself, you grow a love for the car that way.

I approve this message ^^^ The fitment looks off on the headlights as well. Good looking car though. OEM headlights are definitely the way to go. Ebay lights never fit properly and I speak from experience. I have customers come to me all the time with ill fitting light housings.

Your right about the fitment it was a ***** to get the whole fromt end alligned just right. I had alot to do on the car when i first bought it. Almost complete thinking about letting her go soon.

Nice purchase, not just to undo some of the bad choices of a previous owner and it'll look spiffy

Default Beautiful car:)

I also just purchased my first Lexus and am excited to drive her. Although, mine is in the shop getting some much needed love. I feel like I got her from the Rescue Agency LOL. Congrats!
