Default First Highlighter GS In the World!

If you’ve seen this tennis ball colored GS somewhere in Dallas TX, that’s me, feel free to say hi! I’m also on Instagram: Will_EXP. It’s wrapped and took my buddy and I a week to finish. The end result was great and I’ve been enjoying the attention I’ve gotten. Being a realtor, the greatest way to advertise is most likely my car. It’s been a conversation starter for sure. I have had the car since early 2016, and this wrap made the biggest change to how the car look.

I don't think it was ever alive for Lexus in Australia. I would love to do something to my GS but I would have to pay thousands just for simple cosmetics like skirts and spoilers.

It looks ace. I'm not normally a fan of neon colours but yours with the blacked out trim looks awesome.

I like the side skirt and front lip. What are they?

certainly an attention grabber.
If that what you need to get your business and stand out then perhaps its worth it.
It looks fun. That is the image you want to portray? Week vacation wrapping a car? Fun boy clown car?
Does everyone know you because of the car really a good thing?

Someone posted your car in another thread recently here. I said I'm don't normally like cars like that but even being a GS, I like that one alot.

So what color was it before the wrap, and what color is the interior?

Wow...

I tend to be a be a bit more tame in colors I like cars in but I think it looks good. It's definitely an attention grabber. I think what really makes it work is taking it to the level you did with everything being highlighter yellow or black - including the smoking of the headlights, etc... I think the only thing that seems off is something about the L on grille emblem. It looks like it's just a tiny bit too wide in the line thickness.

So the thing that stands out to me is the lower part of the front bumper. Obviously it looks like those are different inserts with lights but it also looks like you filled in a piece with black wrap next to where inserts are? I think that makes that area of the bumper look a lot better visually - great job.

It would be great to see more pics of the car from other angles.

PS - the only downside is that EVERYONE in town now knows exactly where you are

Can you describe a little more about what's going on here:




At first I thought you had a insert with a completely different shape but then looking closer and looking at the photo of when the car was white, it looks like you have a piece of black film/wrap cut in there? I really like how it seems to visually change that front area of the car.

Do you have a close up of that area and a pic of the car from more of an angle of the front?

OP can confirm but I think its a black wrap that creates a bigger "vented" look in that area of the bumper. Its filling out that triangular area. I think i saw someone do something similar to their white, non F-Sport recently. Interestingly, the original pre-fresh F-Sport bumper had a larger/wider fog light area garnish compared to the refreshed F-sport:

Thanks AJLex19!

That was basically my assumption too but I wanted to confirm and hopefully see how it looked from other angles. That whole area around the vent is one of the design elements I dislike the most and that solution I think minimizes what I don't like about it in a pretty simple way. Personally I think the 13-15 and the GS F vents/bumper looked better in that specific area.
