That sounds around the ballpark price if you include shipping, but the exchange rate changes everyday.

Thanks. It really gives the car that extra look without going extreme.

That's an axel back right? I think the trd would work too (titanium?). Is our 4gs already stainless steel? It looks like it.

Is there any kit available that will replace the crummy fake aluminum inlays with a carbon fiber inlay?

Not yet, but I'm sure the aftermarket will eventually come up with something. The aluminum isn't fake. It may be thin in spots, and can dent easily from an uncontrolled seatbelt buckle zipping through the air, but it is real metal.

The 4gs is not already stainless. The stainless pipes in the pic are of the Lexon custom pipes that I ordered and installed.

JayRo,

How much did you pay for the rear diffuser and exhaust system? Do you have to get the exhaust to make the replace the diffuser? How loud is the exhaust? Thanks!

You didn't have any trouble with the front sensors, did you? I am thinking of going the same route.

I actually painted everything in matte black, so no turning back! A few more pictures to show you the extent of the painting/how it looks
