Default *NEW GRILLE* on my '06 Blue Onyx IS350

I have a few things done to the car, mainly factory parts like the spoiler, IS-F wheels paint matched Onyx Blue, a cold air intake and exhaust. I recently got new custom headlight built, and had them paint matched the dark blue as well.

Yesterday I paint matched my chrome grille Onyx Blue. Check it out.

Future mods?....
Paint brake calipers chrome/pearl/red/yellow/etc
Blue Interior Accent Lighting
Sound System

Night Pics coming soon!!

Heres a video of the Headlights!


Before(chrome) and After (Onyx Blue)

lights look nice, but the grill is still looks cheap. doesn't belong on a car of this caliber

I'm not a big fan of billet style grills, but it looks better painted then chrome.

so i ordered CCFL angel eyes too ($200), but one of my rings for the low beams broke in the mail ;'( even tho there was so much packaging around it to protect it. luckily the shop i went to had extras that were 2x brighter.

one of my hi-beam rings is really dim too for some reason, so i might go back there and replace them with the brighter ones. heres a pic



i'm working on getting DRL LED's. so far i only switched out that small marker light at the top of the high beam location to LED

Yeah I would be scared to install those. One of my headlights gets condensation in it when the weather is a certain way.

I plan on replacing them with the 2012 headlights in the future...
