Not feeling the hood to be honest, lose the leds and the chrome pillars like everyone else.

Everything else looks on point

Looks better, but I'm not feeling the leds around the grill or headlights.

Not a fan of the new headlights or the 2010 tails.

as soon as I saw those LEDs on the lower grill, I've thought of XMAS lights instantly. something I would never put on my car, but I'm sure you like yours and it's your car so kudos for being different.

hey there --

remember that you drive a lexus, that said, mod tastefully to heart's content. i'd listen to the constructive criticism offered above.

also, was your car involved in an accident, or partially resprayed for some reason? when looking at the passenger side, everything in front of the rear quarter panel is a different shade and less glossy than the rear quarter panel, rear bumper, and the C pillar.
