Lmao thanks, white is so clean and your wheels are dope too. As for the lip not it wasn’t me lol. I figured I’d spend $100 and see how bad the car scrapes with a front lip on before I spend close to a $1,000 on one of the other brands

NIA makes a nice one but this 100$ one we have looks surprisingly good and I won't cringe 😬 when it scrapes cause mine will as I'm in Montreal. I honestly think the Artisan Spirit kits are some of the nicest if you haven't seen them yet but be ready to spend 8k+ USD

oh yeah Artisan Spirits is on another level. And yeah the NIA one is what I had in mind but that price though lol. I actually know the owner because I bought the front lip for my old RC350 from them and I work across the street lol. NIA makes high quality stuff so I guess it kind of justifies the price.

Inhave these wheels don’t know name of the color but it does appear almost like a black chrome. Changes depending on the light. It’s actually just a metallic paint, but I like the IS FS wheel color a lot better than the pure black gloss ES f sport wheels.

Yeah, black chrome. Whatever you do, don't curb them or ruin the finish. They can't be repaired like other wheels.

In Canada, it's a gray metallic paint. In the US, it's a PVD chrome finish.

The LS F Sport also has the same sort of finish on its wheels:

Owned for about a month now. Got this thing tinted and chrome deleted ASAP. (minus badges). Also threw on some Rohana RFX10s. Looks much better now! Still wanting to upgrade the exhaust to maybe the F sport, then throw some RSR downs as well. Spent too much too quick though so need cheaper mods 1st. Maybe i'll add a cheap front lip. Where are you guys getting yours besides Ebay?

I'd still go NIA, they are always running sales, and they have the best ABS plastic and best fitment..

Unfortunately with WFH and travel lately, this is the typical habitat for my IS if I'm not out for a night drive. I guess 5700 miles on a '21 is a bit of a crime 🫠. On the plus side, ceramic is holding up well, minus the local dealer scratching the car and me having to get the rocker redone as a result. I've been debating RSR Half down now that they're out for the AWD, but I've enjoyed how perfectly this car blends comfort and stability so far...tough to justify when my other car has Bilstein coilovers and rides really firm.

Since I also have a 2021 Supra I figured a 4 door Lexus would be the best option for a daily and I wasn't wrong, I love this thing.

I see yours is badge free on rear, where there no holes under badges?

Thank you for the info, was hesitant to take them off because of holes. What was your removal process?
