LOOKS GOOD! I'd say maybe a different tire set up? a size up in tire might look better IMO. I'm digging the headlights though, it provides a nice contrast with the color.

The car will look transformed when you finally paint the lip.

Id lower the car. Only way to successfully pull off 18s on GSs IMO you have to be low.

Hey Guido2325 I have these wheels as well. Here is a pic of them on my daily. I'm running fat tires on it though.

Looks great! I think it sets low enough. But I'm getting old. I have 05 ES330 in Alabaster (tan gray) thinking its my last car but, I love the color of yours. My future mid life crisis might force me to buy a deep red Lexus someday.
