You guys requested some pics...here ya go...







What do you guys think? Dropped on Tein S...may need to roll my rear driver side fender.

Love the look. The flat bronze is very chameleon like - dark brown indoors, and bright gold in direct light.

The yellow fog overlays really clash now. I may ditch them.

 

I like it

 

wow, it looks awesome!
good job on rim selection!

 

Thanks! The rear is super low, but I also have the stocks in the rear seat and trunk...guess well see when I take them out.

Ill post better pics in the sun when I get a chance...

 

Looks great. The yellow fogs don't really flow IMO.

 

Those look fantastic! Can't wait to see them in the sunlight.

 

yup. think im going to pull the overlays. although the daytimes and fogs are yellow bulbs, so the theme isnt going to change much by pulling off the overlays. but at least it would look cleaner without them when the lights are off.

 

Yea, its the lens thats screwing you up. Yellow bulbs are hot, overlays not so much.

The rest of the car looks gorgeous. Get some pics in the sun.

 

^^^ thanks. yup, im gonna pull em.

 

actually, the parking garage attendant has been eyeing my overlays, maybe ill just tell him they are his if he's willing to pull them off. haha.

 

Good choice

 

Looks good!

 

moar pics...in daylight...

 

fixed

 

haha. i tried!

 

Nice!

Now your next mod should be a decent camera.

 

haha. little better pics after waxing this morning





yay or nay on the yellow fog overlays?

 

^oh wow! she is sharp!!!!!!!!
from a profile shot, the yellow overlays dont match....but from a head on front shot, the overlays look good.

 

Looks great.

 

It sounds like your kidding, but I'll just state the obvious anyway, do you really want someone else to touch your car?

 

They look great on some cars, for the setup you have, I would ditch them.

 

Looks fucking awesome

 

thanks for the comments, guys! The validation is definitely needed. it took me some time to seal the deal on bronze wheels.

 

Is there any affordable lip kit for the front bumper? I generally don't like IS too much because it looks a little too vanilla.

But the rim set up looks great man!

 

dont put thoughts into my head before i have no choice but to buy it off lease. besides, i drive carefully and still scrape very often. a lip kit would go to hell. damn florida road gutters.

 

looks great...love the color combo.

 

Love the color and the style , beside taking off the overlays I would suggest also taking off the headlight eye brows They make the car look like a 4 door scion tc.

 

those are here to stay...gotta see it in person. changes the entire facade of the car.

 

didn't even notice the eyebrows.

 

normally, i am a hater of eyebrows too, but i had some vinyl left over from the grille and emblem, so figured what the hell. i really like it.

 

very nice...

 

I think they eyebrows look good, what size rims (didn't read entire thread)?

 

18 8.5 and 18 9.5

 

The Nurburgrings are definitely my first choice when I do get wheels. Not only do they have the impossible 5x120 pattern I need, but TSW says they will clear my calipers.

Great job! They look really good and have only furthered my desire to own them.


JnC, this car has 4 doors?

 

^ He was saying that the eyebrows makes the IS look like a 4 door tC. Get it?

 

I just came a little. I think with a few more mods the yellow overlays will flow a little better. However, they don't look too yellow to me?

 

i think the headlights on the scion look great, BTW. not sure if that was an insult. haha. i truly do like them!

 

Should I break it down for you?


IS has four doors
tC has two doors

If IS with eyelids/brows looks similiar to tC.

And IS has four doors

IS with eyebrows look like tC with four doors.

 

Two words: pure sex!

 

Nice.

...but to make it even better: delete goofy looking yellow fogs and headlight eyebrows.
