Lexus took a great step in the right direction this year with styling. I don't like the two-tone black/tan, but I bet I could get over it if I owned one.

and here are some ideas on modifying the front end, just for kicks. know you arent asking for it....the link is based on a 4G GS conversion to a 2G IS. he had done some painting to the bezel and corner lips.

Very cool. Is it just me or does the back look a little high? Needs to settle maybe?

I think the shadows make it very difficult to judge. Need pictures with more light.

To me, the rear now fits in the the wheel well symmetrically, roughly the same distance all the way around

Here's a shot showing stock height but can't tell the rear gap well


Here's the measurement of the rear before. I will take new pics of the rear tomorrow

Nice! I remember you were one of the 1st ones to get the refreshed 4th gen in our area. I actually saw it sitting pretty at the dealership when it came in at Sterling McCall Acura. All the sales guys were drooling over it. I loved that car.

But this is a step in the right direction. Lexus is actually doing things that customers want. Maybe Acura will do the same with the TL(X) and you'll be back in a 5th gen. Congrats Again!!

Yes, I was a proud owner of that TL!
I do hope Acura decides to appeal to the enthusiasts. We'll see !
