How hard is it to paint bumper plugs people?!?!? Or how hard is it to fill them in before paint?

The fender work looks good. It looks to be a quality paint job to me. Not that I would choose that color combo, but I do like the stance on those TE's.

As first I wondered, "is the owner a member on here?" But then I thought, "Of course not, if he was he wouldn't have that horrible eBay front lip."

I like the paint color, however that color combo with the paint/wheels doesn't work. Also I never liked that front lip, looks like a cheap ricer lip and doesn't flow with the rest of the car.

The color combo could work for me.. but I think the wheels should've been powder-coated hyper silver, gunmetal or black chrome.

He is a member of the forum don't remember his user name, the Lexus belongs to me. I love the car and color u just have to see it in person. If the Lip sells on eBay doesn't mean its a eBay front lip. u can find anything on eBay nowadays.

I've seen some pretty funny things on this forum, so I wouldn't discredit the possibility of the owner being a member here.

Edit: The blue is actually not that bad. Looks like the laguna seca blue on the e46 m3s.

TEAL!!!!!!!!!

I like the color of the wheels but not on a teal car. Silver or light gunmetal would have been much classier looking.

And regardless of where the front lip was bought, it's fuggin ugly. Replace it with the OEM A-Spec and the front will look

I think both cars look awesome...I don't know why everyone hates the combo. I think the red on teal looks fantastic and if you remove the fact that you KNOW it's not an OEM lip and look at it aesthetically, it brings the front down (which the aspec doesn't do well) and looks pretty good. The face air openings are what are throwing me off a bit...

Overall, I'd rate it 10 for creativity and a 6 for execution.

Ehhhh I don't think so. It would explain the crazy colored wheels but he's always had the A-Spec front lip.

I actually like the color of the car. The wheels are too flashy for me, but I can appreciate the look he's going for. I'm not into bright, flashy colors that draw attention. I'm more into the clean and simple look.

I like the color of the car. Rim color choice is a little different and not the direction that I would have gone in, but hey, it's not my car. I really don't think the "eBay" lip looks THAT bad overall and I think it flows well with this application. I actually think it looks better than the RonJon body kits everyone drools over.

That could absolutely be Nitrous' (Bi) ride...
He posted something on facebook yesterday about the V2Lab meet for 2013 coming up soon and I know him, he wouldn't show up looking the same, he's always looking to 1 up himself.

Honestly, as far as front lip, Tyler is right...but he's also had this monster huge bumper that replaced his oem one with aspec lip after highway damage, then he was too low and damaged/replaced that bumper, then he went oem again but for someone always looking for a new look for the front, this might be him.

I'll see it in person at some point...aggressive, fender work, and lowwww sounds about right.

Oh yea TheChamps car is so much better than this awesome one of a kind TL?


SIKE


Maybe if everyone stopped criticizing the car the owner would speak up. The amount of criticism on this forum is disgusting. After the 5th post we understood the lip is not the best, the color combo is not the best. Why does EVERYONE have to say the same thing?

Btw it is nitrous's car. He always changes up his setups.
