Thanks bro. I still love how your ride looks. ;)
Yes sir...trying to keep it looking oem as possible and classy. I see you got the oem led tails too right?
Hey how much did you spend on your SE grille? I've been looking to switch to an SE grille for my '11 LE myself but they're kind of pricey. The OEM SE grilles for the 2010s and 2011s have been going for over $165 on eBay the past couple of months :facepalm:

I paid $79 shipped off ebay, its hard to come by i searched like every other day and finally found a black oem one and it was in great condition besides like 1 broken tab. ;)
Switch out the oem shift knob with the Lexus is-f shift knob i got off ebay new for 90 bucks. lol I don't mind the height. It also fits perfectly in my hand, the OEM one was kind of big. lol

Yes you got your retrofit from LnGasman-John, he is very good with retrofits, I built my own using acura MDX projectors with D2S Bulbs ..they are great a night. I painted my calipers red and my next mod is going to be the same strut brace that you have.:thumbsup: And you are welcome !!!

yes he's a great guy...i was thinking of trying my own retrofit too with the mdx projectors i found a pair for 100 on ebay. Retrofit def makes a difference but pricey at the same time. Yeah it looked nice the capilers i seen it on your update thread. I got my strut bar from nextgentuning if i recall correctly i'm still thinking of getting the 19mm sway bar too. ;)

Your car looks great! A long list of mods you have there. I really like the IS-F shift knob you installed.

I'm out of the retrofitting hobby... I gave most of my extra Gen6 headlights and parts to the trash can to make space in my garage. But I did save some of the internal white clips, projectors, and brackets - just in case. If you decide to build your own retrofit and find yourself needing parts, let me know - I just might have what you need.

Thanks John! Yeah i began to mod slowly and i love the IS-F shift knob too.

Really i guess the last retrofit you did was your gen 6.5 then? Did you get into a new hobby? lol. Thanks i will def hit you up if i ever try my own retrofit. ;)

Also just ordered the RKS ground effect kit :)
hey that guy jay is a really good friend with my guys over at autocouture in fairlawn...my friend showed me these lights and i had no idea they were yours! i want him to retro fit mine like that! :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:Looks great!
Wow your headlights are looking real real nice!

Can I ask how much you paid?

Btw is it just me or does the waffle lens cover on the turn signal look soo out of place.
When I did my black housing I took out the cover and never put it back in.
I wish I had a clear lens for the turn signal..

But yeah the cutoff looks real nice with the beam output, go to a bigger empty parking lot and let's see it light up the place man.

Yes pics on the shortening the shifter, you know it :thumbsup:
