Default Got some goodies on the way







Finally pulled the plug on keeping my LS stock. Taking my time with this build but here are a couple of things I have coming from Japan:
A one off grill with chrome inserts... I'll be selling my Fabulous billet grill with chrome surround if interested. Only had that one on for a few months shipped to me from Hawaii.

The other item I had to jump on was a F50 Cima Gatling + V36 dual retrofit with amber led turns. I plan on breaking down my originals and doing another retrofit on them for a possible flip later.

Once these arrive I'll take better pictures along with some of the other goodies I got in motion. I Got tired of window shopping.

That new grille is one of the best looking I've seen. Surprised you decided to spring for another after the fabulous one.

I like the grill, it'll look fantastic. The headlamps I'll have to see on the car before I make a decision...

Thanks ^^^

I like the Fabulous grill don't get me wrong... but when I was hunting for a new grill I wanted one with less horizontal lines. Instead of buying the one I was eyeballing I kept putting it off and someone else jumped on it so I went with the Fabulous for a couple of reasons. Prior to this recent purchase I was considering doing something with the chrome surround either paint or vinyl and then I found this one off grill. Even then I still opted for the retrofit headlights first since I already had a solid grill with the Fabulous. Once I secured payment on the headlights I kept going back to look at them and eventually got pulled back to the new grill and said funk it... I'll take that too!

I'm going to do my best to hold out on putting this stuff on till other pieces come in but we'll see. I already know from previous lexus' mods I've done over the years that not everyone will be on board and others will but won't say it. I appreciate the good bad and ugly comments hands down... it's just a car ( prob the best one ever ) and we all have a million opinions depending on the time of day. I'll admit that early on with the LS I was dead set on keeping it stock and openly shared my opinion about not lowering a great ride. I'll also admit that the mod bug has burrowed in like a bot fly and I like it lol.

Cheers to quality mods on the roster: T-Demand, FIGS, Mode Parfume, Airrex, Airlift, Toms, Aimgain

Thanks! It's going to be slow though... this one I gotta get right. I've been looking at a 2016 4runner trdpro as an additional so I wasn't sure if I would dump money in mods for the LS. I just couldn't let those pass though.
