Yeah tails have to go.. Best place to get an OEM set other than eBay? The lip does match.. the pic just looks otherwise with angle and lighting.

I'd have to disagree with quite a few of the mods currently on the car, it appears the previous owner was into rice, but you can definitely make it a lot better. Nice pickup granted clean title, original miles and nothing is wrong with the car other than needing some TLC. Good pickup

Yeah.. below is video of the lights.. not horrible.. but a little too ricey for more as pointed out. My concern about the the side markers below the F badge is I am sure there are drilled holes in the fender.. argh. I will pop them off to verify. Also need to get the car up in the air so I can see what exhaust and headers.

I just need to do a little aero\exterior work and it will be perfect.

Do you guys think smoke overlays or tinted would be enough to remove ricer effect on the tails? lol

Finally peeked underneath the rear.. Car has the Borla exhaust. Odd to me the that the tips off the muffles don't connect to the bumper tips.. My plan is to ditch the bumper tips and go with the RR bazooka setup

The red lights in your rear bumper are also aftermarket.. from the factory they dont light up.

Sell me the borla exhaust and headers lol that's actually a good exhaust system. I also believe the Jdm isfs had side markers but they are place a lot more lower I think thank on yours. Man the owner sure did blow a lot of money on mods and barely driving the car as well. Money doesn't buy good taste lol for some reason I like the factory tips majority of the exhausts actually use oem tip covers I believe only the iss and few others requires the removal of that trim

If I don't go with the Bazooka setup I may just have my buddy who owns a tint\wrap shop wrap the chrome around the tips depending on how hot that area gets. I actually like the sound of the car as is just hate some of the chrome accents. Was also going to have him wrap the roof, grille, tails, Lexus badge and front lip. Thinking slate grey.

Got under the car and found more goodies.. More GT Spec bracing and definitely headers.. just couldn't tell what type. Also looks like Eibach springs?

Has two JL subs but I have yet to find the amp. I removed the stupid LED strips in the fender ducts. Really want to ditch the side markers but they are functional so as I said I suspect there are holes drilled behind the fenders which means I am stuck with them for now.

that undertray looks clean!!!!

like I said money doesn't buy taste prev owner dropped some serious cash looks like ppe headers on there too. You got some tasteful mods with the car but it needs some work. I would go with oem tails.
