Be sure you tell Steve exactly what you want - the 'GS' and the '400' are seperate pieces. Also, consider if you want the front grill 'L' too. I kept my grill one original chrome - see below

Dex,

Chu,

Steve is already shipping the kit over here... the car should be done in about 3 weeks! YAY!!! Oh... just to ask... does steve's 888number work here on Guam??? I tried several times and I get this "we're sorry, the... something access number cannot be .. eh.. whatever... it doesnt work... How did you contact Steve? I had to ask for his direct number in LA.

Hey Manny:

When your car is done we should have a small car meet on Guam. I am sure there are some Guam Clublexus members that would be interested. Let me know when your done with you car.

Are you lowering your GS with the body kit?

Dexter's grill is a TRD. I believe it was a Carbon Fiber one that he had it painted. I have the same grill also. The emblem does not come with the grill but can be ordered from Steve also.

I normally contact Steve via email or call directly. The 888 number does not work from Guam.

Manny,

Good to see other Guam Lexi enthusiasts here on Club Lexus. Sounds like you have a lot in store for your lex. Can't wait to see the final product. But then again I don't think there ever is a "final" product once the mod bug hits.

Chu,

We keep saying we are going to get everyone together. Lets do it! BTW, I was able to get the SC up above 100 mph today past NCTMS. It was so smooth Loved it!. C'mon lets get together with all the enthusiasts!

Have you both heard? ... Import Nights is comin' up in April @ Hagatna Shopping Center. It will be indoors @ night. It'll be nice to not have to brave the elements. Any ideas?

MAC

Hey Mike:

I guess we should start another thread for this communication. Hehehe...

I briefly brought up the Guam Lexus meet idea with Dave Toves and he is interested. Maybe we should really setup something.

Haven't heard too much on the import night. Might be interesting though.

Yeah. I know that road. Always love that long straight way drive with no merging traffic. Done 130mph bursts once in awhile.

Chu...

That is correct; although I just used my 'L' from my trunk and epoxied it to the grill - though I am considering switiching to a RMM, just for a change in style.
