I am a very proud owner of a 2006 Lexus gs430 that I purchased mid November. I have some pictures of how it looked like before and after I made some modifications. What do u guys think? I made it happen with some of your threads. Although I am new to this club, I have been reading your comments since I first bought the lexus. Thanks for your help guys.

well, first and foremost.......welcome to Club Lexus.
onto the ride. not a big fan of a couple things. and i apoligize ahead of time. strickly my honest opinion.
although a bunch of people seem to like chrome wheels, not my cup of tea. i do like the design though. Asanti's are a good looking wheel. they are no where near as hideous as some of the wheels like people put on their car.
it appears that the body kit you chose is A: painted a different shade than your car (Glacier Frost is nearly impossible to match) and B: not so good fitment. thats something that you should really spend a good amount of money on to make it perfect.
and ive never been a fan of tinting the back windows dark and leaving the fronts stock. it looks unfinished.
i love the Glacer Frost though. your car is a million times nicer than stock.

Not bad, Im not a big fan of chrome either, but the design is nice. I think the only set of chrome wheels id ever rock are VIP Modulars. The one thing that bothers me most is the front lip, I too have the Carson Kit (Full Kit) and that front lip is not proportional with the sides and rear. Maybe once you lower it a little more itll look more even. Oh and the color is off? Or is the lighting/shadow? Good luck!

wow some of you guys really dont know how to welcome someone... Welcome to the club dude.... I think the chrome wheels look great on the car man i have a 430 also and when i get my new ones i plan to put chrome also...
Congrats on the new car & Welcome! Car looks good and all that matters if your happy with it
Looks like a little double sided tape can help with the front GFX. Thats how the rest you see on here are held on along with maybe some clips or screws on the bottom. Fitment looks just fine to me everywhere else? Why everyone is being so harsh??

Welcome to the club! Your efforts at upgrading your car show your love and appreciation of your ride. I think the car looks great. I like the look of the wheels and the body kit, wish I had the money to spruce mine up and make it stand out. Truly, there are so few GS series around in GFM that the car stands out all by itself. The kit color does appear to be shaded slightly differently in the pictures but lighting and shadows can really make it hard to tell. I still like the look.
