I like the look of quad tips but i would like to get nice chrome tips to make it look better. I like the IS-F look connected or not connected.

the tips are actually the OEM muffler. The tips are really dirty and the shadow in the photo makes the tips look black. I was also thinking about round tips, like on the Acura TL Type-S.

Hmm, take the tips from the 996 porsche turbo

I always thought they looked hot on a porsche, maybe someone could PS them on the IS rear.

I actually think that Acura TL Type S rear looks quite nice on the ISx50, too bad it would all be custom fabrication to pull that off.

so I came across a TL Type S bumper for about $100, and I'm really tempted to try a custom fabrication. Has anyone ever done fabrication work with a OEM bumper cover--cutting, sanding, shaping, etc.. I was thinking about cutting the bottom of the TL bumper cover and making a rear lip like the TOM's lip. The only issue is whether it will fit, and how to attach the modified TL bumper to the OEM lexus bumper.
