I still have the Profound and will be switching off wheels every now and then.

I didn't like the "canister" look of the exhaust since it's exposed now with the new bumper. I might get tips for now, till I decide what I really want.

I would give it a score of 8/10. Everything fit very well, except for the rear bumper having a slight gap from the tail lights (got it fixed). There was a few areas that were a little wavy, but I already expected that from a fiberglass kit (and easily fixed with block sanding)

Thanks! That's a big compliment coming from a white GS owner that looks amazing

Any reason why? I love the Veilside hood.
The hood didn't flow with the more simple and clean look I was going for. I will be doing modifications to it to fit the theme better.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!

As far as the tail lights go, I like the old ones as much as the new ones. It doesn't matter to me which one I have, just as long as it's not an aftermarket one. I have a 98 and I'm proud of it, and if you can see that in my tail lights, then thats fine with me. If I have a car that looks better than an updated version of the same car, then IMO, I have done a good job of maintaining and modifying my car.

Thanks again.

Looks GREAT Poyet !!!!

An upgrade / Improvement in EVERY Way.

The cleared Tails on your white color gives a very clean and uncluttered look.

Skirts look nice and clean as well.

You are giving me some ideas for my next mods.

Lovin the car dude. As far as the tails go BIGGUPS!!! I like the cleared out vs anything else out there and I think at night it doesn't reall matter all that much seeing as all you see is red so only lexus guys can tell the difference. I think the cleared out ones should have been made stock by lexus. I redded mine out and it looks better than stock. have thought about the Sonars or even 01+ tails but the cleared out is my next DIY.

I hope you didn't take the tailight comment as a neg comment because it was not. i was expressing how much i like them cleared. I would rather have this over 01s, but I don't like how they look at night. I have seem many, including my own, how they look faded at night when they are lit. However; I rather have something moded over stock, even if it's a new version
your car will look sweet with any tailights you install

The wheel filament is awesome ... I like the new front and rear too ...

Amazing to see you take such a drastic change in the direction of your car ...

I am sure that more mods that come will defiantly look great on your car too

you have had many amazing looks and this one serves that too

great job and I like it
