Hello All, this is my first Lexus build which is a 2001 GS430 (200,000 miles) I purchased from the Toyota dealer in Cincinnati, Ohio where I'm currently turning wrenches. I have access to all things Toyota so don't hesitate to ask any question, just give me time to respond. Thanks

I had to trim the "mounting ears" off with a dremel tool and saw, then used "fender screws" tomount with no glueing needed. I"ll get pics in a few minutes

Thanks for the compliments! I used speed nuts to fasten my TTE Lip to the bumper so i can remove it without too much hassle if needed. I did have to cut off the mounting ears on the lip due to them not matching up to my bumper. Here's some pics of how I installed it...




Speed nuts from Autozone





installed 6 of them to secure it properly





todays upgrades, clear side markers. not sure if i'm diggin' them though

Green with the gold rims looks pretty nice if you ask me, the lip is also a nice addition. Do you have the service history on it?

Really rare to see a green GS430, nice pick up!

Great color!
I have Midnight Pine Pearl GS430 too.

Did you change the fogs to those yellow tinted ones? :O
I would've keep it stock 'cause those are wanted and look way better imo.
