Only mod i have been able to do because no parts are currently avaliable (suspension/front rear lips/ exhaust) WRapped the front grill and window trim matte black, as well as de badged and painted rear L emblem matte black to match front and side trim. Any advice or knowledge of other mods or parts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I think that this is a subtle mod but one that is really well done. The matte black border for the grille looks great. I take it that you are planning more mods in the future. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

Not a bad look at all.

One thing i was thinking of doing is to wrap the grille with tint film to create a black chrome finish

 

[corbinleedav]

Soarer thats what the RCF grill looks like, a black chrome finish. Either would look good.

Thanks Lex, yes many more to come when parts are out for the vehicle!!

wow! what a difference!
if it was up to me... i'd consider tinting the headlight setup, like this:

 

[corbinleedav]

Ross, I thought about it, but i like to see at night lol , I will attempt to tint the front emblem so its darker! Pics when i complete that, it is just too cold for the tint to properly adhere currently.

I'm not so sure about the tinting of the headlights. Tinting the Lexus logo might be a good move though. I just think you want to be careful to not do too much. Too many changes and mods can look tacky.

 

[corbinleedav]

I agree with you Lex. Less is more with these vehicles. I will post pics of the emblem when i tint it

Lookin' forward to it!

it also depends on how dark of a tint you go

people really want this even go as far as getting higher output bulbs to compensate

I fell if the car isnt black, you shouldnt tint the headlights... Looks juvenile in my opinion because the contrast is too great.

I'd have to see it I suppose, but that would make sense to me. I also think that Lexus has done such a good job with the headlights that I don't really want to mess with them at all.

Tinting headlights is a no no.

Explain to me why you want to put a tint (neutral density filter) on the headlights so that you cannot see the road as well at night. Down home, after the wreck, we call that stupid.

hahaha I'm not the one who suggested that.... Agree with you sir

 

[Lex Luther]

I'll admit that I haven't really heard of tinting headlights before.

I'll admit that I haven't really heard of tinting headlights before.

The Camaro5 group do that a lot. I think it is supposed to make the car look more stealth or bad ass. IMHO anything that cuts down on the light coming from a headlight or taillight and is just dumb.

 

[soarer]

tinting headlights have been around for a long time across many makes and models.
observing the tuning scene over the past years, there's quite a broad range of cars with them, which is expected considering the ease of doing it, or if you're paying someone, how much cheaper it can be than other 'modifications'

 

[Lex Luther]

I also am not sure about legality. When I started typing tinted headlight into google it recommended finishing it with "legal in Ontario" and "illegal". So I would say that if you are thinking about this you should look into whether it is legal in your jurisdiction or not.

Here is a look at what the tined and non tinted taillights look like on the Camaro.

 

[2DoorFan]

Legal is not really the issue. Under the law, you are allowed to juggle chain saws.
