Default My New (To Me) LS

Hi Everyone. Been lurking since early 2013. Finally picked up an 07 SWB last summer. My three wants were Starfire Pearl, ML System, and black interior. I read that sometimes you have to sacrifice so I ended up with gray interior.

Didn't want to introduce myself until I put some miles and mods on it. I think I am done with mods for now so finally decided to post a thread.

Mods did so far:
- Trunk spoiler
- Roof spoiler
- LED mostly everything (even the scary, but really not, puddle lights in the mirrors)
- Tom's Aero kit
- LED Tails
- Gloss black vinyl wrap roof and rear valence

Future mods:
- De-chrome everything with gloss black vinyl
- Either all gloss black vinyl the grille or paint the frame of grille Starfire Pearl and grille insert gloss black
- Black wheels (tires were brand new when I got it so gonna milk it to the end)

Distant future mods:
- Aimgain side vents
- Change seat leather to black

My first Lexus. Been great so far. Hope to start commenting and contributing on this sub-thread for a long time. Here are some pics:

Looks great so far!! Maybe try plastidip for blacking out your chrome trim. It's strong as hell and you can remove it later rather easily if you need too. I have it on my grill and a year later it looks like I just did it.

Nice... you should really do something with the roof spoiler. Maybe wrap it in black vinyl

Looks great. Can you post up a couple pics of the roof? Curious about it. Never seen one done like that. Thanks.
