Looks great....as always. Surprising how different the paint color is in the outside photos.
Who fabricated the hood? (or is it film?)

Hood is wrapped with 4D CF vinyl to hide the vent cracks.....never let your body guy talk you into molding vents in. Should have gone with my original plan and I wouldn't have this recurring problem.

Rear fenders are custom and widened 3".....fronts are from the Imex Tuning kit but widened another 3".

Thanks folks!

Staggered 20" Roderick RW2 Black Machine Face with Stainless Chrome Lip.

Customized Center Caps

I will do coilovers to lower when my budget evens out and when the life of my shocks start to fade.

Default LED parking lights

What a PITA to change those little wedge bulbs in the top portion of the DRL/high beam that come on with the parking lights and headlights. Worth it though! Also noticed my rear license plate lights were out and determined that the 7.5A fuse was fine and the OEM LEDS were burned out. Sticker shock ensued when I realized it would cost over $180 to repair. Screw that! I purchased some wedge bulb pigtail sockets for my 5 LED wedge bulbs and modified the stock housings to accept the new sockets/bulbs. Figured out how to wire it up so the LED bulbs would work. The lengths I go to to save a couple hundred bucks!

Thanks! I will say that i get tons of compliments everywhere I go. So many people stop me or roll their windows down to mention they dig it. I will say that I do need to get a full detail with clay bar treatment soon. I'm thinking a full Lexus showroom detail and paint restoration for $189. What do you guys think? The brakes and calipers are amazing! They feel just like the OEM but only one issue that I've noticed. When I'm braking at about 0.25 mph (if I linger), I get a tiny squeal but it disappears immediately as I come to a full stop. No wobbles or pulsations, though!
