Enjoy... shot this to advertise the front lip (forgot which brand/shop though). I can post up a mods list in case anyone's interested.

One thing I have to say - this Lexus white pearl paint is absolutely gorgeous. These low-res photos don't do it justice; the flakes & glitter of the paint in the sunlight is simply breathtaking. New found love in white cars!

All taken with my Canon XT & 17-40mm lens. Tweaks with the RAW's and minor touchup in photoshop only.

 

woot for ray.

 

Gotta love this IS

 

nice shots once again! not feeling therims on that car. would look sick with some vs-xx

 

nice, but how about some normal pics so we can see the entire car.

 

define 'normal' pics... i can see the whole car in most of the shots..?

 

nice pics.

 

maybe a side profile non-ricer angle shot?

 

i've seen this car on club lexus. is it yours? because there is a few didfferent ones that have the sae rims and look similar, either way props i love it and it looks hot

 

just a correction, its glacier frost mica not starfire pearl

 

lexus has the best white color

 

 

nice!

 

Awesome pics!

Could you find out what front lip that is? I'm looking to get my father a front lip for his IS for his birthday. That lip is lookin sexy though...

 

Exactly. Not knocking the pics, GREAT quality. Just would love to have some better angles of the sides and more direct looking shots.

 

nice pics!

 

Wow, i think the generation did shifted. It is first time i heard a son getting father front lip. You are such a great son. I hope my child will do the same in the future.

 

Seriously! hahaha

I'll let you know once I find out~

cool thanks Yen, could a mod correct that in the thread title please?

Yep, it's my friend's car and he's on club lexus. Thanks too!

See below...

Ah, I know what you guys are saying now. Wouldn't necessary call them ricer-angle shots - it's just the front/rear quarter view to get the most surface area to appear in the image. I do think most car magazines, Import Tuner to Car & Driver alike, shoot their cars not head-on or exactly parallel to the subject. But, I do agree I should have included at least one of those in this set, and here it is:

 

nice car, and nice pics jon. you picked up a 17-40L? big balled how much that'd run ya?

 

Very nice pics...

Any ideas what roof spoiler that is? and is that an OEM trunk lip?

 

I don't blame you for not putting this one up in your first set of shots, it looks better in your other pics. Side view of this car must be its weakest point.

 

Thanks man, I showed my father that IS and he's in love with it. So it's a definite go on that lip.

 

Glad you took a shot of the license plate lights. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the newer Lexus cars have LEDs lighting up the license plate area, and it looks pretty hot at night when you're behind one.

 

Nicely done, keep that rice on the down low. Me likeeeee!

 

it's lexon lip spoiler. you can get it at l-tunedparts.com runs for about 650. thier very good over there and it's Carson toyota/lexus who runs the website. their the main sponsor for the Is forums on club lexus. the guys over thee are great.

i may get this same lip spoiler on my IS. i really like it alot and change out my oem sides for x package oem sides.

 

Would I be the first one to say "Meh"?

Not criticizing the owner's taste as far as mods are considered, just dont like where the lexus design is heading. Lexus styling these days seem to be a bastard child between the edgy designs of the new Cadillacs and the roundish Buick designs. Flame me all you want but I'd take my brothers 99 GS400 over the current model GS any given day.

 

Nice shots, nice car

 

About the only thing I can really complain about is the generic grille and those triangle housing for the foglights. Other than those, I actually like the IS's design.

 

IMO, the IS is the only attractive Lexus sedan. The LS is okay in a blandish sorta way. But the ES looks like a bloated whale and the GS is stangely androgynous.

I think most people buy a Lexus over the germans for the rock solid reliability and plush ride. The irony is that Lexus folks aren't the driving enthusiasts that Acura people are, and yet we're stuck with teh F/F.

 

Good shots and nice car- I love the front lip and the low profile window visors.

 

Curious about "generic grille" as compared to?
