Talking Random minor upgrades I did over the weekend...

2001+ taillights: I know. I am being rice. I put on the "Lexus" logo and the "GS300" logo knowing full well that my car is a Toyota. But you don't get any respect down here driving a Toyota.....*snifflez*

Tom's JDM clear sidemarkers: Inspired by Alex (HKGS300) who just installed his last week. I opted to do the same. I think it matches the silver of my car very well, don't you think???





Tada!!



The good folks down at Tom's even remember to include a pair of orange bulbs to replace my clear ones. I have to thank HKGS300 who went out of his way to purchase these taillights and sidemarkers and shipped them to me promptly! Much gratitude!

Oh, and a parting shot: My STOCK (I got them with the car) JDM Aristo brushed aluminium doorsills. I am being real ghetto and did not even take out the plastic cover becoz I don't want to scratch them out....

Looks cool Jon . Did you add the Lexus badging on your car yourself or did it come with the mixed badging (doorsills and trunk).

If you want the "Lexus" door sills, I would be more than happy to trade you.

Good start dude...
Aristo vs. GS300/400, Toyota vs. Lexus, those things are always funny...
So should I detached the LS logo and put Celsior instead ?

Terry, maybe you can swap with Joko's...

in general:
LS = Celsior
SC = Soarer
GS = Aristo
ES = Windom
IS = Altezza

LX = Land Cruiser "Cygnus"
GX = Land Cruiser "Prado"?
RX = Harrier, '03 RX330 = Harrier "Airs"
