Looks awesome! You’re a better man than me, the thought of removing my bumper (myself) gives me agita. 😂👏🏽

I do really like it, but it was one of the most involved front lip installs I’ve ever done. Will tackle the TRD side skirts over Christmas when I have some time off.

What front lip is this, and what made you go with this instead of a lip that utilized the existing holes and clips that are already on our car? Just interested....

Thank you! The bumper removal was actually MUCH easier than I anticipated.

It’s the TRD lip. TRD makes a whole aero kit for the IS:

I chose it because admittedly I’m a big TRD fan and try to go OEM anytime I can.

Only mod so far was to ditch the crappy Bridgestone tires for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires a couple months ago. Right now no real plans as it is my daily driver.

Weather was a little stormy looking so I drove the IS 500 instead of the Supra to Detail Garage's monthly meet. It turned into a mini Lexus V8 meet. We had a few clouds pass by with rain after I parked. What's funny is at the end we could have had one more RC F in Molten Pearl. Old couple just pulled in to go to the Eye doctor at the end of the strip mall. They had no idea a car meet was going on which is too bad.

I first saw this Infrared RC-F...







Then an LC 500 showed up...
