I am new to these cars. I am trying to find this headlight kit and grille, can someone point me in the right direction.

Are there any other mods on this car other than wheels and it being lowered?

Thanks guys. If this car or these mods have been talked about before I apologize. I unsuccessfully searched.

It looks like it is stock for both parts and maybe just painted for the grill, and those lights might be a special Pebble Beach Edition?

 

concur~~~~~~

 

yeah looks all stock to me too

and the wheels aren't particularly good setup for the car as well

 

Judging from the filename of the pic (and the background), this car was displayed at the 2005 Chicago International Auto Show. Probably one of the "special" stock Lexus models on display (kinda like the SportDesign models for the 2GS and 1IS). Catchy looking for the general crowd, but for us modding enthusiasts, we know better

 

Thanks fellas. So are you guys not a fan of the lights? If this is something I wanted could I order the Pebble Beach edition lights and replace the old ones or would someone have them aftermarket?

Is painting the grille the easiest solution if that is the look I am interested in or are there a few aftermarket blacked out grilles that I should look at instead.

I was as excited about the wheels, not my style. Some of the stuff I have seen on here is ridiculous and has given me many ideas.

 

looks all stock to me. the black housing lights could be done in your garage I am sure someone has a write up on it in the forum. If your a DIY kinda guy it shouldnt be a problem if your not then pay someone. you can take the grille and chrome peice on top to your local paint shop to get painted for prob around $100. I dont even think the car is lowered.

 

Thanks for the help. These modifications sound like things I can do.

Is it easy to match the paint on these cars? If so I have a gun and could take care of this in a weekend with a few coats of paint.

I appreciate the help.

 

i can't remember the PB edition exactly, but i don't think the headlights were different? this sounds like a custom job to me

 

I am with you on this one. I think its custom. Not hard at all though

 

all you need is an oven -- and the right temperature

The headlights look about the same except the glass on the one in question looks much clearer than the PB edition. The car also doesn' t have the PB emblem on the side.

it is PB edition alright. I remember seeing one on the road in person. It is the only black metalic paint in the Lexus line.

 

it is very hard to paint the grill. I have been trying for a while. Since it is plastic no paint shops will even try. The one shop that would try said the didn't gurentee it would work and wanted about $350.

 

What about a different grill all together. Just buy a metal billet grill and paint it black?

Would that be the easiest solution?
