Default Some Random pics of my Wife's '07

As stated in another thread: Since purchasing back in November or so, I couldn't NOT do anything to my wife's RX. She stated she wanted it to look diff than the others out there. Not liking to go too extreme on cars either, I'm getting there.

With that being said.... The car spent a good 3+ months at Sewell Lexus body shop since the begining of April. Had over 10K in hail damage. Now it's finally back to new again. The nice thing was once the luggage rack was removed, you could see the paint was distorted from the rubber moulding that was on it....well the whole roof was replace and repainted. lol

luggage rack delete
Red/smoked led tails
D2S projector headlights
6k headlights/ 3k fogs/ other misc LED lights
couple little things not really worth mentioning too

Was close to bagging it and throwing on some nice 3-piece wheels, but things have changed with a baby on the way. Hopefully, we can still get those done in the future.

When bought:


After hail storm:








NOW! :

First of all.........ouch, 10k in damage!

Nicely done repairs by Sewell. Looks great!!

(I'm in the process of doing a retro fit with Morimoto mini projectors and some halo rings behind the Gatlin shrouds to eliminate the DRL bulb)

Did you go from halogen to HID projector headlights? I am interested in doing the same for my wife's 05.

I'm no photographer, a few were just with my iphone.
