Default opinions on a few simple mods

Hi Guys,

I was contemplating doing a few simple mods to my car. First pic is the current look.

Second pic is Photochop.
I was thinking about debadging the "LEXUS" emblem from the upper left, smoking the lower blinkers (96-97 aren't smoked), and painting the lower rear valence to match the body.

I dont think you should do that. I would recommend taking the GS300 off and putting it in the center garnish.

Not a good idea to paint the lower rear valence if it's plastic/rubber. The paint wouldn't stay on and last for a very long time.

Agreed, it would look pretty clean this way.

I think painting the lower rear valance body-color looks kinda odd. The smoked lens looks good.
