I personally like the inner lights. It does give it that distinctive look that sets it apart from other cars. Without the inners, it looks like another car's rear end.

This is an old thread but a few of the pix remind me of the late 90's big bulky ugly infinity Q45 rear ends.

Leave the inners taillight and shave the rear emblems instead to give it that clean GS look instead of a big bulky looking Accord or other cars.

Agreed. its what makes the GS stand out, those inner tails that are concurrent with the inner fronts. Always felt that was a brilliant move by Lexus.

I absolutely hate the shaved inner tails on GS models. I wanna puke everytime I see a GS with that look. Kills the car

You're always going to have people that love it or hate it either way. I personally love it shaved and did it to my trunk. I think it looks better. But that's my opinion.

No offense to people who did it, but it looks like a trying hard Mercedes C class... It looks like a riced out Mercedes C class...
