Default Got the wheels on and "black pearled" the emblems...

Used the tips as found in this diy thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...e-emblems.html

They came out darker than I wanted(you really have to go light on the coats to get that black pearl look) but overall i actually like the look. The crappy cell phone pic makes them look darker than they really are.

The Vossen CV4's are 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45

Tein Comfort Sports. Most comfy coilover setup I've felt.

Looks very nice!! Too bad tein doesn't have that set for gs350. How much did you pay for the CV4 and tires?
