Removing the old one..


New one with silver coated bulbs that came with it.

Nice small and easy mod that makes a world of a difference.

Thanks boss I appreciate those words. Especially from the guy who's giving me all my inspiration, haha.

Will do! They'll probably be mounted the same time I throw on the coils or a couple weeks after.

Well for now i'm finishing paying off a small debt I owe to my grandfather and then saving up for my next big thing, so during this time I just did a couple small things that i've wanted done that didn't cost me much $$$..

First thing is removed that trunk spoiler. I cannot stand that thing and plus the LED's in the light are out anyway, so I took the courtesy of removing the damn thing.

Halfway done..


Wing fully removed..


I will in the future have that whole trunk lid repainted etc.. For any of you that might wonder.

Also I took the time to de-badge my trunk.

I removed the 'LEXUS' & 'GS 300' badges and just left the L emblem.

Lexus & GS300 badges removed..


Halfway done..


Done.


Just a little update for now. Going to finish paying off my debt and then it's back to saving up for the rest of my build.

You're so lucky your spoiler wasn't an OEM. You don't have to deal with the stupid brackets.

For now I just got some puddy from home depot and filled the holes. Doesn't make it TOO obvious.. You got anything else you'd recommend Brian?

And I believe they're painted.. Previous owner did that.

Yeah that is how it's going for now. Slow and steady.

Lol.. Kind of a tease for me because I basically have these Zone's sitting here waiting to be thrown on and it's like ahhh!!! Such a tease no doubt, but hopefully in the next month or so things will speed up.

Thanks though man much appreciated.

no....puddy will work, if your painting the trunk anyways some rattle can white might be ok temporarily.
