Blain, it has some blue and red/pink flakes but you can only tell in direct sunlight.
I just detailed this car and it's a really subtle Starfirepearl, not exact to the OEM Lexus paint. But definitely more of a blue hue than the yellow hue from IP.

Ahh ok, was going to say I've only ever seen it in person and you can definitely see the flake. Obviously just not being picked up on camera!

Car looks awesome. I'm more a fan of the 1st setup but that's just me. It is nice to see something completely different in here though. How much was the initial paint job if you don't mind me asking. I always loved that color when Namrock had it.
Thanks everyone I really appreciate all the compliments and completely understand that my second setup isn't everyone's cup of tea.
In all honesty I got a little tired of replica kits/parts (minus the nismo diffuser) as well as everyone looking the same (even though I still
feel the kz/impul/cs combo looks dope). My goal was to move from an aggressive looking setup to more of a oem/clean look.
The whole VIP scene has also grown on me a lot.
who just so happened to be the inspiration for my first setup.
kz, impul, cs, and strafe trunk but in the end I just wanted to do something OEM ish. I also had a hard time figuring out if the vertex sides
would flow with the cs rear or the kz front. If someone ever tries it out and it ends up flowing I'm sure it would look sick.
I highly recommend getting the vertex kit if your thinking about it. I always heard rumors on how the "quality and fitment is amazing blah
blah blah......" but in all honesty it is. I must admit the price is a little steep but after looking back at it, I have zero regrets on the money
spent (sorry if that sounds like a salesman, just the truth lol).
Same goes with bags. I was static for about a year and a half on bc coils and yeah it looked dope rolling hard.... but now I can let my DD
rest a little and actually drive my car wherever the fck I want w/o the g/f complaining. If you go air get e-level, the convenience of that alone
is worth it.
Hopefully next time I post pics it'll be in direct sunlight.
That included body work + misc stuff (like painting roof, grill, and diffuser black). The second respray was far better then the first but, by no
means is it perfect (I don't think any really are). There are minor flaws but nothing to crazy.

Thanks Blain, I really appreciate it. These photos were actually all taken in shaded areas which ofc effected the shine of the pearl on the car. Originally Posted by 4DGS

Yea nam's was sexy.....always loved his car. I actually painted my car twice, the same color (starfire pearl). Each time they charged me 3k. Originally Posted by AzuMaster

thanks bro...i had contacted Vertex and they said they would give me a partial sponsor but it was still like 1450 for the kit..we'll see...as for bags, i luv the idea or riding at a height that u know u won't f* stuff up...and slamming it when u're parked...does ur kit come with the built-in coilovers? or did u get the UAS kit? if i ever do the Vertex kit, i'm gonna run the non-sport front with the kit instead..and maybe even mold that into the bumper..definitely one of my fave white coupes...

air question goes I'm running Air Force struts over bags. The struts come with 36 levels of adjustable dampening. Its a complete
Accuair setup with e-level. IMO, riding on air is super comfortable and no different from my coils as far as handling goes that is.
Although I never really tracked it so my comparison might be worthless compared to others.
Aside from all that I'm actually excited to see what you got in store, since I've heard you've got some changes coming up.
