Talking Newbie! First Mod: Grille and Taillights

Hey CL! I'm now the proud owner of a 2008 IS250 AWD, black on black, fully loaded. I finally got rid of my Mini Cooper S (biggest mistake ever). Anyway, I can't wait to start messing with it. Show me pics of your aftermarket grilles and tail lights! I need ideas!

Thanks

Welcome to the 2IS! There's a few grill options, the most common are the Kazz and F-sport option (pics below), i think there may be others as well. For taillight you have a few options, you can stay OEM which is different for 09-10, 11-13 or the ISF. There are several aftermarket options, here's a comparison I did between a couple of them.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...omparison.html

F-sport


Kazz

Nice. Have any pics? I'm hoping someone out there has a black one I can use for comparison.

Thanks!

I've had both, IMO spec-D are much nicer but it really is personal preference, both are good.

I don't have pictures, but I'd say the F-Sport grille definitely is the nicest looking one of the bunch. As for tail lights, I think the OEM 2009+ ones look the best. I actually bought them because of how nice they looked.

I ended up using the LX-MODE Upper and lower grille without the emblem. Tail lights I just got the ISF tails so it eliminates the amber lens.
