Where did you buy that?

Ok, thanks.

It seems to be this:

Can you take a photo from the rear so I can see what it looks like without the emblems and with the trunk spoiler?
I've been planning to do the same too.

I love the badgeless rear. I'm looking for a lip with a little more attitude for gs. I've got to paint the trunk first anyway

I plastidipped the emblem. I was unsure of it at first but it matches my lug nuts for my newish wheels so I've really come to love it

Default Car is Fixed

It's been so long since an update but I've made lots of progress since. Finally got the car fixed a while back, and it looks amazing. New headlights and fresh paint really brought it back to life and luckily the accident didn't cause any permanent damage.

also I've been pretty busy with this thing, I missed having a stick shift so I got this to flip. Driving it is like the opposite of the GS, Lexus has spoiled me

Anyways, we're back on track with the GS and hopefully I'll be getting some coilovers and a front end fresh pretty soon. Might even get some new wheels by the beginning of next year, I guess we'll see!

Default Halfway Done

As of right now, I'm halfway through the engine refresh I've been wanting to do. So many oil leaks


​​​​​It's going great so far, except for that crankshaft bolt everyone seems to have trouble with. Please post any tips or experiences you guys have had with this job, everything helps!

Default Engine Bay

Finished up with the engine refresh, it's running good and looking good. Did a good deep cleaning everywhere I could get, including the Throttle Body which actually made a big difference.

Now onto suspension and I have some major mods on the way
