TMF the polished stuff looks great, esp. the intake runners. Always hated the stock wrinkle finish on them

Came back from a 2,200km road trip. Of course the GS was rock solid throughout

Sure here are some pics from today.

This thing is from Abflug, made for 2GS. I bought it used from nengun.com who I found quite easy to deal with.

Fitment was 100%, although the actual mating surface is super thin, so I had a shop bond it on. I thought 3M tape might not be enough to hold it on

Forgot to take one of the underside so here's an older pic of it. It has room for the brake light to show

Drove the car the past 3 days and got a check engine light...





Pulled the code and found a DIYguide on here already...




Tore down the broken Master Key and slapped a new CR1616 Battery in it and It works...
So now I can go to Sewell Lexus and get another Master Shell and I'm good to go...
