The taillights are from Aero Tect (smoke), I cut them out myself. The grill surround was painted by a local shop to match the car. The fogs have blue overlays from Aero Tect. Comments welcome.

Shweet, me likey, especially the taillights. Did you give any thought to smoking out the white turn signal blocks? That is one of the different aspects of the F's taillights that I wish they would have left alone as compared to standard IS.

Both those mods look great. I also had a professional paint my grill bezel and I'll tell ya, even with al lthe prep they did it still chipped quickly. If you have a good clear bra company near you, it might be worth the effort to have them wrap it. That's what I have done and have been please so far. Everything looks great!

I personally...but this is just me....

Only like the look of smoked tail lights on a black car if they are COMPLETELY black. This has to be accomplished with paint/no vinyl can do this, but the end result is STUNNING! Just picturing it now on an F with the clear turn signals and reverse lights! WOW...that would look good.

The grill surround is looking good! And so is your blacked out license plate frame! Keep the mod's coming baby! Love the fact that we are moding, we need more of that in this section.

Yes.. it falls under "Modified Lights".. For CA Vehicle Codes, see:

I'm not the biggest fan of the stealth smoked lights look, but good job! It looks clean.

One good thing about the place that painted my grill is that they said if it chips for any reason they will repaint it for life!!
