Front end painted - Including Lip and Grill
REAR trunk lip spoiler
New HID Auto level Head Lights
Upgraded REAR tail lights
New bottom door trims

Looks good, even the wheels. But I wouldn't go for the black lip, black grille, or transformer emblem. Your car is simple and classy. I'd go a different route.

Pretty nice bro. If you don't mind me asking, which MOMO shift boot did you go with? I'm currently trying to find one for my 430...

I think it looks better, you still have the PRND indicator on the dash. Our shifter looks like a camry or something

Nice car but I think the front is to aggressive for the rest of the car. Maybe you have other mods in mind. Clean car though.

Get rid of the gold trim for black pearl or regular chrome, Lose the Autobot emblem and replace with the newer style Lexus "L"

Everything else looks well put together.

Ebay bro!

Careful with the shifters, there SUPER pricey. But to make it look clean, you would need both. It's kidda simple to put in. And the best part is that the shifter connects with the boot.

Heres a link:

If you have any kind of before and after progress pics i would make a Build Thread in the "Build Thread" section... that way you and others can keep track of your progress..

Ebay trunk spoiler?

Tony, the trunk lip spoiler looks like either a Sportdesign or from nycautoparts. I've got one from nycautoparts and fitment was excellent, of course if you can find a genuine SD that would be preferable.

i got the trunk lip and rear tail lights from a guy on craigslist. They were pulled off a GS430. He said the lip was an actual OEM piece... It did have the Toyota sticker or label under it. But it was all beat up, so i had to prep it, paint it and of course double tape it. Price: 100 bucks... not bad for OEM right? But who knows if it really is.
