I would like to take this chance to thank all for the nice thoughts. The lip did come from the paint shop a different color but I should have it back today and it should be matched fine. I realize that the car needs some cleaning and care which I have the supplies and am working on this.
I would also like to thank Apex as he is far more dedicated to modding bug than most will ever find out. This guy is crazy, we finished modding my car at 1:30 AM Friday morning and then we went right back at it getting the ride height dialed in later on Friday. I can not express how greatfull I am for all his help and generosity.
In addition to these goodies I also picked up a B&M short shifter courtesy of one of Altezzu's friends.

Well I hope nobody thought Ryan was done with his new goodies. Just to sum it up he had a few more things to install last night so here we go.
- Apexi N1 Exhaust (bye bye HKS Dragger)
- Greddy lip
- Altezza Grill

We found a local that is new to the modding scene as well as Lexus. He just picked up an IS that came with the Apexi N1, but his wife complained about it being to loud and he wanted to swap straight up for a HKS Dragger being that it's quieter. So thus the swap began.
HKS off

As you can see the tip on the Apexi has melted poly from the previous owner's IS. Well we took care of that and sanded the poly off. It still needed to be polished but being we didn't know that actual condition prior to yesterday we didn't have the necessary supplies.
