Pretty cool setup wsykes. I'm personally not a fan of the chrome wheels, but everyone has their own tastes. Are those stickers on your rear brakes? Where did you get them?
[QUOTE=wsykes;8473426]Hi all!!! I do not normally post, mostly looking and learning. This is my 4th Lexus since 1999, GS300 1998, LS430 2003, GS450h 2008, and now GS450h 2013 . Here are my mods to my hybrid. All comments are welcomed, even if you dont like some or all of it.
I finally got a chance to install my TRD front spoiler (Thanks to Nigel@JDMparts), roof spoiler (Ebay: Spoiler King) and wiring up the LED fog lamps this past weekend after collecting dust for the past few months. I’m still waiting to install the TRD sides after getting Cquartz Finest coating done, hopefully in a couple more weeks since the sides mostly hold up by 3M tape. Unfortunately, one of the fog lamps (passenger side) has condensation in it and Sewell Lexus refuse to exchange it since it was purchased back in December after a few days of purchasing the vehicle. I wonder if the Lexus dealership will replace it under warranty?
very nice. i have same roof spoiler.did you have any issue with painting your roof spoiler.mine came out wavy and starting to show little crack lines in paint.having to bend it to contour to rear windshield.thanks.told the painter that maybe he didn't use enough flex agent,but he said that he did and this is because of cheap spoiler material.spoiler doesn't look bad on at all. don't want to remove this spoiler to repaint it. Just gonna sport this roof spoiler for now and prob go with Wald.

I actually do have the same issue with it being wavy at the top part, it's definitely not smooth at all like the outer edges. I kinda knew that it would be an issue after receiving it in the mail and inspecting it before painting. I think the machine they use to mill its shape put those wavy grooves in it. I had my guy put a sealer on it so the paint would bond better to prevent it nicking while flexing it upon installation. I am a little disappointed in the quality of the material but I guess you do get what you paid for. Lol! I'm actually looking into buying a new roof spoiler also. I think Wald would be a good choice.

So glad this was posted! I've been unsure what the bronze wheels would look like on my matador red 3gs. I'm completely sold now. Stunning combination. *reaching for wallet*

Nice ride! I have the same roof spoiler, but haven't installed it yet. Thanks for sharing your issues w/ that piece.
