ROFL, it's that guy again.

The more chrome you take off your Lexus, the closer it is becoming a Toyota.

That front humper is how it should have been done from the factory. Very nice! My only pet peeve with our stock cars is the botox dimple cheeks.

I think you should just begin with the black tapes and see how you like it first. If it looks good, keep it, if it doesnt get it painted. It should run around 150 to 200 bucks. Black tapes under 20 bucks.
I gotta say, I would never think any front bumper would look nice, but damn this is super nice!!

Dude this car is so ugly. Lambo doors, spoiler>YUCK and I hope those are red tapes.
Worst mod I have seen on a IS so far!!

On my F I painted the window trim b/c after adding BP emblems and adding a black grill surround, the chrome window trim just didn't look right to me anymore. Also, after my last M3's, I preferred the look of no chrome. I will say it make the car look a little more 'generic' now, but overall I prefer the look.

there really is no need to be bashing on him. it's his own car and his own taste. have some respect for other people's mods. he didn't even ask for anyone's suggestions too. if he saw your guys' posts, im sure he'd be pretty upset.
