Now this is something I want to see on the road! Have you considered getting black housing headlights? I feel that a little accent like that would really pull it together. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Cris!


Surprisingly, I don't have clips of the exhaust. It sounds like a loud Subaru haha.

Thank you sir! I've been going back and forth on black housing headlights. I do like that look, but at the same time, I like the chome housing with the chrome Toyota badge. We'll see...

It looks really really nice looking bumper but I'm not feeling the Lexus style. that's like debadging a Prius and outing on a Lexus emblem. Wish aim gain can step up their game.

Yeah, I guess the bumper isn't for everybody, but I love it!

Looks great so far man really loving the aimgain front end. you should def black out headlight housing as your next mod as it'll completely change the overall look of the front of the car.

I would love this bumper if Lexus didn't use this design. I love the look of it, but hate the whole Lexus image behind it. Very nice either way!

While I still really dig the bumper, now the more I look at it, the more I feel like there's too much black all in one spot. Maybe it's the lack of widebody, I'm not sure. The paint looks like it matches up pretty well, which is the most important thing.

Now that winter has finally ended in the Northeast, I've been trying to drive my car as much as possible (though its hard at times, with work, household chores, and a 10 month old son)


Over the winter, I did a few other things to the car, on top of the bumper and intake, which I mentioned before.

Perrin Shifter Bushing
Subaru rear "diffuser"
18x9.5 Advan TCIII's (which I got refinished)
255/35/18 Advan Neova AD08 Tires
Advan Flat Center Caps


I loved my Regamaster's, but with the new bumper, the front of the car was just too low for me. I sold the Rega's and got the Advans, which are an inch bigger, in diameter, to help with the ground clearance, without sacrificing the ride height too much. As I stated above, I refinished the wheels once I received them - Reason being, the original finish was a light gray color, with a polished/machined center (around the lug holes), and I personally couldn't stand it. So, I had a friend of mine refinish the wheels to a dark gray color.

Wheels when I first received them:




Comparison of the front tires (new left, old right)



Wheels refinished and tires mounted (before decals were applied)



One the car:

Love the interior set up...very clean and simple, no loud bright random colors.
