This thread delivers the lols.

On a more serious note, I'm with a lot here and never understood the desire to make your car into something it's not. However, the car has definitely come a long way and I love the color choice.

The splitters are not a big deal, I can just unbolt them but mainly I got them to protect the bumper. Led headlights and mirrors would be nice. The exhaust is getting done soon.

Here is the back. OK I haven't put the spoilers yet and I still don't know where to take it for the mufflers. I got led tail lights too.
Well done! Clean and classy!

Any upgrade you do to your car is making it something it's not because it didn't come from the factory. That's the whole point of upgrades and modifications. You buy a car that you like for example a Honda civic and you spend $6k in the motor or more and suddenly you're smoking vettes.I would say "wow! That car's sick" but a stock civic I would say "nice gas saver". These bumpers bolt right on and fit perfect. I didn't get the fenders, hood, sideskirts, badges, exhaust tips, etc.....

I love the car! Color and the kit. I want to do both bumper conversions on my IS350. Though, I will NOT be removing my IS350 badge, and I will add the F-Sport Badge on the front fenders.

Get it from eBay. It comes with the exhaust tips but I didn't use them because IMO they look cheap.

Yzuniga13, you just ignore the hater, everyone has the way like about car's, to me I like it like you said you just want the look not a performance, just like other members here mods their is250 just for the look a put in more money than there car, to me what you've spent is still cheaper then people paid for their stock is250 for that kind a price or even higher, to me the money you spent on your car to make the car look like new is a good total price man

I'm getting my car repainted in two weeks, the same color, Onyx Black. I might push it back though so I can save up more to get this, from eBay. Did you get your door jams painted painted USB too?

Yes bro, everything came off for the paint job, its like it came USB from the factory even when you open the hood you can't tell because it has all those covers. But yes everything visible was painted. I'll post some pics of that tomorrow.

Turn out nice. Get the front under tray splash guard and rear exhaust pipes to make it more complete.
