Default New Mods 2008 GS 350

Just got my Pursian Blue grill for my 2008 GS 350 from Carson Toyota. Looks great on the car have not seen any of them because this is the new bumper style. I purchased a CT200 hybrid emblem and retrofitted that onto the new grill. I also did fabulous eyelids and painted the headlight trim the color of the car. It all turned out really good I am happy with it. Here are some quick pictures. Also if anyone needs a factory grill for a 2008- GS350 PM me.

nice! Looks more luxuries! How much did it cost you to paint your headlight trim?

Headlight trim is surprisingly easy to do. It is held on with 5 screws around each headlight and the washer nozzles pop right off. The hardest part is to sand and prep the chrome for paint. The right way to do is to remove all the chrome so that it will hold up. We used a special acid that ate all the chrome off the plastic. You can scuff and paint over the chrome I did that on the factory grills emblem for months and it did not chip.
