Ok there 470HI, you have the toughest looking GX I have seen on this board yet! I love the blacked out front grill like RC1818 said.

Congrats on such an awesome looking GX!

It's Nitto NT420 265/50 R20. Diameter is about the same as the stock tires so the ride didn't change. Still smooth as ever.

Yes, the grille is blacked out but it's not part of the black pearl kit. See my back end debaged.

Wheels are machined and mirror polished with clear coat. Can you post another picture of your GX? The one I saw earlier was blurred.

thanks.....

It's like a vinyl laminate that the detail shops use for pin striping and/or custom striping (like flames and decrative signage). Works better than paint.
