Thanks guys for the ups

The exhaust is pretty much custom, but the rear pans are Carson Tuned with Magnaflow 5" rolled tips.

The front grill is the L Tuned, I've considered using my DIY chrome grill, might have to try it out and see how she looks.

The car color actually is more towards black cherry than cinnabar - it may be the bright sun. In the dark it looks very much like black cherry. Overall I'm very happy with the Royal Ruby.

Wheels from the wheel master - SoCalBob - FTW

TTP - go for it, we're far enough apart, no problem with me.

Wow. Quite a change T. Looks awesome.

As for the grille, you know what they say about opinions. Personally, I like L-tuned more than the OEM for your car. The Vertex is an aggressive kit and the L-tuned is a bit more sporty than the OEM.

I hate to hate on the gold color but I never was very fond of it. Terry made it acceptable with his great choice of mods though.

But this looks much better. A stock color that looks custom....that's one of the things I love about owning Lexus cars. I've had 2 Lexus with colors that people who aren't familiar with Lexus thought was custom.
This would be in that same sitation. People are gonna go ape thinking it's custom.
Good choice Terry!
