Interesting......gaps and color look a little off. So you didn't change your fenders or hood?

I like it, to bad the gap at the hood isn't tighter. Did you have to mod the center grill at all? Can't wait to see more pics

I'm sure I could have gotten the gaps a little tighter, but unfortunately this bumper was made from a mold in Japan and required significant mods to accommodate. Basically you keep the same fender and hood with this setup.

Is it urethane or fiberglass.... (either way a GOOD body shop can tighten the gaps)

Those look like the earlier headlights from the LS600 (also it has the hybrid emblem,) thats why they are the tri-beam LED, so I am guessing they didn't change the headlights.
