Very nice dark tint. I used to have similar dark tint on the windows of my Lotus Esprit. However, one day last year, a police patrol car stopped me on a mountain pass. Since I was just having fun on the twisted road slightly above the speed limit (Hey, it is a Lotus), he went soft on me. Instead of a speeding ticket, he wrote me up for having too dark tint on my windows. I felt lucky and did not argue much at the spot. I spend $50 to have the tint removed and went to the CHP station to have it verified and cancelled the ticket. I did not bother to put a new tint back on. May be I will do a nice tint again in the future.

one of best looking GS's out there. I would suggest you keep the front embalm chrome or cover it with very very light smoke tint. because the front looks so dark and theres nothing shows off!

my next project is to lower the car and put those H&R spacers! very nice car.. take care of her

Nice subtle changes.
IS-F badge was very creative too.

As far I heard, the ES is front wheel drive and comes with uniform front and rear wheels. The F sport setup RWD is staggered with the rear being wider which will not work on the ES. I would confirm with your dealer.

Thanks guys. I was very pleased with the results. Coming from an AC Schnitzer 535, I'm used to cars that are all tuned. This car requires very little to make it stand out and that is a testament to Lexus. Hard to believe that Lexus had the GS on the chopping block and was on the verge on eliminating this chassis for good. Glad they didn't.

I agree with you. I ordered the new gx460 front logo which does not have the plastic cover. I will paint the mesh background liquid platinum and the L gloss black. Should add some detail to the front.

You can order a non staggered setup from your dealer or find a set for sale off of an awd GS f-sport.

The calipers look good and the front end looks mean. I'd do something different with the front emblem though.

I like the spacer addition. Def. brings out the factory wheel set up. More aggressive.
