Green with Envy - Jamie Lake’s 2017 Lexus IS200t

Jamie Lake’s 2017 Lexus IS200t, affectionately named “Envy,” stands as a personal dedication to her unwavering love for Toyota engineering. As the second iteration of her IS project, this 3IS facelift merges Japanese influences with a highly curated aesthetic, resulting in a build that balances clean design with bold details. Wrapped in AMG Green, Envy’s exterior is accentuated by carbon fiber upgrades, including a vented hood, fenders, and trunk, while subtle black gloss accents add contrast. A set of retrofitted 2021 IS taillights from Invoke Concepts provides an unmistakable modern touch with RGB functionality. The staggered REVO Forged RR5 wheels, featuring brushed faces and green bolts, tie the look together.

 

The interior is equally striking, incorporating reflective green carbon fiber accents across the steering wheel, paddle shifters, and trim. Lake’s attention to detail shines with hand-laid vinyl door jambs featuring cherry blossom inlays, seamlessly complementing Braum racing seats and harnesses. The trunk setup, illuminated with custom LED lighting, integrates more flash and glow. Performance-wise, the IS200t sports an Injen intake and Apexi exhaust, opting for subtle performance changes rather than outright power. The combination of personal touches and upgrades makes Envy a build that reflects Lake’s dedication to creating a vehicle that’s as versatile as it is unique.
