Lexus IS200 Turbo - Adding a personal touch
Just phoned Lexus, with my "staff" discount I can get a set of 04 onwards headlights for £250. hmmm, decisions - plus if I can shift the current set that would help leverage some of the cost.

Might not be to everyone's taste, but hey that's what it's all about. I picked up a new IS200 badge on eBay as it cost a few quid less than from lexus. I then bought a few random car badges trying to find the right one for my plan. In the end I used part of a CDTI badge.....
Is afternoon I masked around the standard badge so I knew how much room I had to work with and set to work with. My dental floss to remove the old badge. Once the pain underneath was cleaned up and polished I re applied the new badge, but put each letter and the 200 closer together. This left with a bit of room at the end of the masked off area for a 'T'.
I am pleased with it, its rather subtle which helps keep the sleeper look I am aiming for. Plus it doesn't intrude on the standard spacing on the boot line.

I quite like it too... Plus the red of the badge makes it that touch more subtle as you won't spot it immediately...

this is the current progress i have made on the floor piece. A colleague of mine suggested maybe having some small Touge Routes etched around the outside but I cannot find anything suitable. for this one the Jap writing will be lightly etched into the piece, then the vents on top and bottom will be straight through.

05-07-2018, 01:21 PM #40After some suggestions for when I re-do the perspex windows in the boot. I have mocked up some designs below with my "awesome" photoshop skills. I am pretty much set on the smaller side panels unless you guys come up with something better. I am looking for some inspiration for the larger floor pan. Hit me with your thoughts :thumbup1:
