Honestly I'm not sure, my powdercoater had them with him. I remember some members were talking about a place where you can buy the decals but honestly I can't remember where.

You can get them on ebay. The height I used were:

3.5" x .85" (Front)
2" x .50" (Rear)

Just saw your question, sorry for the delay.

The tips are holding up pretty good actually, I'll try and get some recent pics over the weekend.

So far no chips or discoloration at all.

So far no discoloration or chips:

Hi Mate, I ordered mine from ---> http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?rou...product_id=137

But I had them send it to my freight forwarder in Florida and then they sent it to Ksa.

So here's a lil update on a few bits and pieces I've installed (it's been a while since I updated this thread) :

- PPE Headers
- Black Emblems
- Front grill painted black
- 2014 LED fog lamps
- SIKKY Sway bars
- Robson Design CF Spoiler
- Afe Dry filter
- Apex Throttle controller
- 245 and 275 PSS Tires

Got rid of that yellow rear signal bulb and replaced them with these, much cleaner:



before and after:



Sikky Sway Bars:





2014 LED Fog Lights:

Difference between original and new fogs





Apexi Throttle Controller:



Afe Dry Dilter:



and as you can see no maintenance was done on the stock filters and this was right after my 20k service:



PSS Tires
245/35
375/35





PPE Headers:





Pics of the Robson Design CF Wing and Black emblems, lucky for me when I removed the rear Lexus emblem there were no holes:











Front Grill Painted Black:

Really? I never really thought about it.

But I probably need to take a pic of my spare because it does not sit flush with the trunk. It is slightly raised from the inside. I'll snap a pic to explain better.
