Thats because its so easy (cheap&affordable) to rice thoose cars. I'm helpping my brother with his civic(he just moved back here from Oklhoma, so hes all rice ready) I'll probably be able to completely do his car for less then my paint job. To VIP Lexus as you know (or will soon learn) is expensive, and to rice one....well thats sacralige!

The kit was like $500 dollars on that auction site I took it to a custom shop that I know, I didn't want to put it on myself and have it fall off

Very classy. If I got a kit that's the one I'd get.

Love the rear mods, but you need to get your reverse lights on ASAP. You could get pulled over for not having those....you probably know that though.

There were some fitment problems with the rear bumper valence, it wasn't an exact fit so there was some cutting that had to be done.Also the rear doors scrape the side skirt upright portion.

Exclamation I like the Xenon kit, I just...

I really like the Xenon kit...I just hate how the back bumper looks all high up and no different from the stock bumper (from the side).

I'm really thinking about purchasing the Xenon front bumper and side skirts and a different rear bumper to make it look lower and match better with the Xenon front bumper and side skirts. Anywho, great job on your ride!

The rear bumper is quit different from stock on both side and back. The whole kit is designed to be on a front sloping car, that lines up the kit a little better, and brings that high @$$ down some.

I just filled the gaps with bondo, carved a fracture line, and painted. the real trick was adding the reverse lights to the outer corners.

Please hurry I can't seem to get the color or grain right. I have a decent looking black cherry wood, but I really like the black burl that you see in some GS and MB models.
