ahahahaha

ur car is my inspiration, LOL

its like the idol of the IS250 world, hahahahaha

well IS-F LED's then roof spoiler + rear spoiler, :P

decided dropping would attract TOOO much attention from the cops on red P's, i'll do that when i get my greens

doesnt matter what colour P's u have. my brother is a green plater and he borrowed my car. gave it back to me with the p plates on but i didn't notice. started to wonder why police started paying a lot of attention to me on the roads and later realised that it was because of the green P's.

thank god i no longer have to put up with that crap! although even when i was a P plater i never displayed P plates for that very reason! it's too much a cop magnet even when u're not doing anything wrong!!!

thats a very mature thing to tell him lol

hahahah..... its a forum. opinions will come from all directions. whether its taken seriously is up to the reader! :-)

i did it a few times when it was past 11, but i have like 2 ppl in the car, thats the thing with a lexus, cops dont suspect it to be a p plater car so wont really notice

oh and i debadged my car, but the holes...

i dont wanna pay to get em filled either, anyone got some cheap way i can fill em myself? or if not i was thinking of painting the IS250 a dark colour to match my SGM, and then attach the LEXUS to the front grill

what u guys think??

the car looks lower for some reason without the badges, lol

No P plates.....no trouble.

Very true. I never wore them either.

but when your on your reds if you do get pulled over or RBT no P plates means license gone.

  • Changes to the display of L and P plates on vehicles.
    L or P plates may no longer be displayed from inside your vehicle. All learner and provisional drivers must clearly display their L and P plates on the front and back of the outside of the vehicle. The letters L and P on the plate must not be hidden. The penalty for incorrectly displayed plates is two demerit points and a fine.

(two plates missing 4 points) red P only has 3 points i believe? or is it 3 and zero is a "point")

i have 4 points on my license

i think the cop that pulled me over either forgot the send the fine/demerit point thingo

or he just let me off

plus with p plates, ANY speeding offence, even ones that would only deduct 3 points from a full license, you lose your provisional license

From rta.nsw.gov.au:

A provisional P1 licence will be suspended or refused if the threshold of four demerit points is reached or exceeded.

i personally did NOT take out the grill to paint it, i just wrapped up the slit's and the hood, lights front bumper and just sprayed 3 coats, havent bought a clearcoat yet, need to get some tomorrow

u can of course take the grill surround out (theres a DIY on CL) and paint it, but i saw no point cuz its pretty much the same anyway and if it does get chipped i cant be stuffed taking it out and painting it again and again, lol

im thinking of putting the LEXUS symbol i took off the back on the passanger side on the lower grill, i've seen IS250's with a altezza emblem there and it looked alright

tell me what you think!

IMO its more of an aggresive look, but each to there own

yeh, ive had it on for about 4 days and its fine, got some clear coat today and will put 2 laters on later tonight

and the paint was just from Autobarn. told em my paint code (1G0) and they mix it up in a spray can (or just a can if u ask for it like that) for you and u just spray it on

as u can see it matches pretty damn good, dunno about other colours, but i can vouch for the SGM colour, its matches pretty much perfect (just that its a bit flatter than the stock paint, but i like it kinda flat, but i'll put some clear coat and see how it looks after)

it really compliments the car, and its a 30 - 45 min job (including waiting time)

and easy to just repaint if it ever gets scratched

i think it makes the car look more aggresive/lower but thats just me

im also thinking of spraying the chrome part around the doors black to match the middle black part
