Thanks! The next mod may be exhaust or a car PC. I've been holding back on exhaust because I like the silence in the cabin. I've been looking for a pair of HKS Super Drager canisters for several months. No luck. Help anyone?

I actually want Toyota caliper decals to stick with the Aristo theme. With the exception of the front grill, I don't have any exterior Lexus badges. Anyone have a Toyota front grill emblem available?

I decided to keep the wheels, afterall, they were my dream wheels....I just regret not getting 19s since they didn't cost that much more.

But at the time of purchase, they were intended for my MKIII Supra. 19s were too big.

Thanks, everyone. Just like jtanoyo1 said, gold is the way to go for calipers.

Supra brake decal...I like the idea. My rear bumper trim is missing, because I do not have it yet..

For those wondering about my 18s....the HREs were originally on my MKIII Supra. Believe me, If I had intentions of having a GS, before I bought the HREs, I wouldn't have purchased 19s.
