sorry for the size of the pics, not sure how to resize them.

 

Looks good!

Just throw on the A emblem on the trunk and polish the exhaust tips =)

 

Rear lip has improper fitment.

 

I love the way your car sits right now, it looks hot What color did you paint it? Looks more pearl than stock TL white.

 

Nice color choice. I've seen a few Lexus IS with that same color.

 

What the hell happened? Did you get in a wreck or did you just want to change color? I would seriously consider painting the lower front grills and lower rear trim of the front and rear spoilers. It will add much needed contrast, other than all white. Just a suggestion. But the color is nice.

Fyi, The rear spoiler should line up evenly with no gaps on the lower horizontal edge where the metal rear quarter panel meets the plastic bumper.

 

lol whoever installed your rear a-spec lip kit for your rear bumper did a HORRIBLE job. you should get that re done.

i'm not talking about the paint job, i'm talking about the fitment and alignment of the A-Spec kit and your rear bumper. it's supposed to look perfectly fitted on, but in your case you can obviously tell its 2 different parts because your a-spec rear bumper lip is sagging below your actual bumper line.

my rear a-spec is a bit out of line too, but it was my mistake. but yours is way worse than mine...

n like the poster above said, you shouldn't have completely whited out the front type-s a-spec kit. looks too white.

same for the rear. the grey part on the rear bumper that you painted white makes the back end look kinda funny. maybe i'm just used to seeing it grey.

 

kit wasnt fully put on just placed back there, got kinda anxious about seeing how it would look all put together since it had been so long since i have seen it one color. I had gotten into a wreck around february and it hasn't been one color since then. Had real bad luck with finding someone to take care of it. It sat with one guy for 3 months before i decided to take it back and then this last guy took over a month so the anticipation of seeing my care done was high. The rear lip has been put on correctly now, the rear emblem has been put on, and i'm about to get her re-tinted. As for going all white with the front and rear lip, I figured i can always just vinyl it gloss or matte black when i'm tired of seeing it all white.
The color is a gm color, white lighting. It's a gold pearl and at certain angles it has a greenish tint.

Wow, pretty radical transformation. Anxious to see final results.

 

Holy backfat that's some transformation! I like!

You mentioned that you were in a wreck...did your insurance company pay for the entire repaint or did you pay out of pocket?

 

Thanks for all the comments.
Had to pay out of pocket for this one. Didn't want insurance involved since the lady that hit me had no damage. Got hit on the side by an old F-150, I scuffed her bumper. The damage to my car however wasn't as nice. Couldn't open my passenger door so i had to do this

I got a ticket cuz she said i jumped in front of her. she let another car through so i followed. She got me pretty good cuz it dented the rear door and even got some of my corner panel. I left early for work that day to grab a new axel for the car before work and thats what happens. Oh well its all done now so enjoy the pics.

 

The front/rear bumpers look very odd with all the black inserts painted white. Other than that, I like the change. What does your engine bay look like...still black??

 

Damn. Hell of a change. Take more pics. I like the new color.
