Default New pics of fresh mods...

So my car now had 425 miles on it, and ive got it almost where i want it Heres a few pics of the tint, springs, exhaust, etc. I bought the rear bumper applique also.. seems like a good idea to protect the rear bumper And of course, the most important mod.. the CL sticker

Number 1: It is unfair to post pic of CL decal on new car!!!!!!!!! Moderators get so many perks

Number 2: I thought the bumper applique didn't fit with park assist. Please advise.

TIA

1, it wasnt cause im a mod. i just got lucky, lol
2. The bumper applique only goes on the flat surface of the bumper, so it doesnt interfere with the sensors at all. Its actually a very small piece of plastic.

Multiple questions:
1) Did you cut it or something?
2) Is it different than the factory bumper appliques?
3) Is this a new version of the applique?
4) Is this from another lexus?

Reason for question: the factory applique waterfalls down from the horizontal surface to the vertical surface.

BTW, I was just kidding about the moderator thing

1. No, i didnt cut it.
2. Its the factory applique for an 08 IS250.
3. Not sure if its a new version, i just ordered it 2 weeks ago.
4. Nope.. for a stock 08 IS250.

This applique does go down onto the vertical surface, but only by about a half inch. The sensors are below that level, so they didnt interfere. I will try to take some more pics when i clean the car up.. too dusty, so it wont show up right now

Thanks for the info. I might need to give it another look then...maybe they changed the decal a little.

I know carchitect was working on this for his, but said that it wouldn't work without a little trimming (which I didn't want to mess with at the time). But, if it's a direct slap-on, it might be time to reconsider.
