I'm not here to argue, just sayin..... It's up to you guys to take it however you like it

BTW, here's to further prove my arguement.

Yeah, not here to argue either...

Just saying that if he had sprayed the grille with regular paint, it wouldn't have hurt anything. He wasn't trying to repaint the radiator, it would have been a little bit of overspray.

But he didn't even spray it, so it doesn't matter anyways..

v8 is a 3uz-fe (all previous GS's)

v6 is the 3GR-FSE (06 GS300)

Stock differential is not LSD for our vehicles. I've been doing a little side-by-side comparison, and i'd love to try and retrofit the LSD interior of the Supra into our diff's though. It looks to fit almost the same.

Sounds like a great plan coming up! Just be careful, HID fogs kinda like.... melt the housing lens (fortunately, the lenses are only like $100/side)
