JDM prices are ridiculous. The body kit, rims, and muffler costs as much as a used 2nd gen IS250.

All you tuner/hardparker guys all know that once those wheels hit the used market, they'll be selling for $2,500 or even less with tires on eBay. Of course the introductory asking price is going to be sky high. Give it time =)

I like that they're nice and lay low. Volks? You may as well put a target on your back that says steal my wheels. Nice but not realistic!

anyone know if the new 2017 bumper can be a direct swap with the 2014-2016's?

The headlights are different so you'll need to change at least them. the other fitment points look to be identical. hard to know without a 2017 diagram. that won't be out for another year probably! at least not publicly!

lexus needs to find a way to make the kits look less busy!! that wing looks horrible!! too much going on!!!!! a CSL style trunk would look much better!! the new body looks way too crazy for this car!!!

IMO!!! the 2014-2016 with no kit or wing looked the best!! the lines were perfect, the car looked sporty and aggressive yet at the same time still had the elegant look of a lexus!!!

the wheels are nice, but they are "jumping the shark" on the rest of the design
