Did a few things to the GS this weekend, thought I'd share...


Covered the perished C-Pillar garnish.


Little uograde to the peeling steering wheel logo


Replaced the old Sport Design emblems with the newer style


Yellow lens frenzy lol

The CF looks good, I was thinking of doing that too. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

The lights are Kool too, but I would rather just have the fogs yellow... But that's just me, nice non the less.

I wrapped my trunk bar in carbon fiber black, painted the grill black and wrapped the front grill emblem in carbon fiber, ordered a black gloss painted Lexus logo custom with a carbon fiber black plate for the rear.....

Thanks. The yellow fogs were the main task, but I had extra film so experimented on the center lights. The film is easily removed. But I like how they turned out.

Cool. I'm thinking the trunk bar and grill emblem are next on the CF list.

The old emblems left a bit of a mark, so these are mounted just right enough to cover the remains

Don't you just love it when people quote all those pictures so you can see it twice??

Not really a fan of any of the mods but to each their own. Do your thing and do what makes YOU happy. Cheers

Lose the Brembo stickers on your OEM calipers.
