08 AWD GS350 Build
Hello Club Lexus! Here's my first Lexus build, enjoy!
Purchased last year in July with 82k miles on it.
Mercury Metallic with black interior.
20% tint all around, 30% tint on the front windshield, OEM window visors bought from JDM Nigel, interior and exterior bulbs upgraded to LED
The car has also been fully paint corrected then ceramic coated with CarPro C-Quartz. 2 layers on the whole car including windows and wheels.
Little sneak peak of what's going on the car.

Went to get the rear arms readjusted and an alignment. Took the rims off and put back on the stocks. I have to take the car to the dealership tomorrow to get the front bumper painted. I’ll have more pics when I get the car back.

Just Picked up my car from the Lexus dealership, they scratched it during a recall and repainted it.
I got new rotors from Brakenetic. These are the GT series, symmetrical curve slotted.
Spray painted the calipers black real quick before putting them on.
Also got the hybrid grille
Neck pads and fusa knot (not pictured) from Junction Produce

If you are in the SoCal area and need some fender shaving or rolling call David at Dapper Works. Great work at an affordable price. He is located in Brea but can drive to you.
