Personally I'm a fan of duplicating the color scheme or using similar contrast colors in the same style the manufacturer of the kit uses. Case in point my LS460 has a K-Break kit that's not the same color as the demo car but I used black accents in the same way K-Break themselves used it.

Default Welcome

to Club Lexus

Congrats on the new purchase. I love whay you have done I agree though with other members about doing the diffuser in black and lose the F emblem. i do like the Artisan emblem though.

I see the exhaust tips - is the exhaust modified or only the tips to fit the diffuser?

Any other mod?

VERY nice? I might have made a slight change keeping the middle part of the read bumper white so only the diffuser is black.

I have yet to get my rear bumper/look the way I want it and do more body kit mods butnthat's for future work still.

Congratulations on the purchase and modifications Aldfaly. Also, welcome to the forum. I think you gave the SC430 a bit of an updated look. It looks good to me.

Wow! I really love this kit... I wish I could afford it! How much additional fabrication was needed?

But, for some oddball reason, you might want to change it up. Try wrapping the diffuser fins/parts so it can be changed back easily. It looks fantastic to me and the paint job looks pricey!!! Good work all around
thanks dude
I agree with what you said, but also we have to check out others opinions
