Painted TOM's grill color matched and installed.



Also got this in as well..

TRD Rear Trunk Garnish.



Carbon is a water transfer but looks real. Gel coated and everything.



Didn't want to keep the garnish black, so color matched it as well.

It does. It fits perfect. If it was molded to the trunk it would be cleaner though IMO, one of the reasons I painted it to match.

I've never liked the trunk garnish until I've have seen it color matched. It looks pretty good.

Tom's grill was hard to find. I've never seen it anywhere. The grill was an option on the V300 or VA300 Tom's Aristo's. Most grills came with the VA300 logo on the grill.

Two tone looks good. A black steering wheel will make it look more complete.

SAGE 30mm RCA & Bilstein / Swift Springs finally settled.



Next, will finish all the exterior. LS400's, Color matched visors, possibly rear roof spoiler.





Also may repaint the rear lip spoiler touch up the rear quarter lips, and wet sand / polish the whole rear end.
