I kind of like how it's just noticeable in the right light, but doesn't stand out too much.
As far as the reflectors, that's a good idea. I didn't really notice it until you had pointed it out. I have some leftover smokey tail light tint, i'll probably try and do that this weekend. Hopefully it doesn't prevent the reflectors from doing its job too much. Thanks!

Yeah, it's what I have on my tail lights. Excited to see the outcome. It'll probably be the end of my cosmetic mods, looking into getting an axle back. Then the car will be complete.

Ordered the GS350/AWD black pearl emblems to go with my front black pearl. I have them dipped right now, but I don't like the matte look as much for those emblems and I need to take them off anyway to polish the paint behind them, so I'll throw these new emblems on. Any tips to get the spacing right after removing them? Do you just make a template out of tape before removing?

I think that's the best and most accurate way according to various youtube videos I've watched.
....sent oil for testing.
Just purchased a Tanabe Medalion axle back on Amazon...Saw an offer for a $70 gift card upon approval for their Prime Card, so that was the only push I needed to jump on it

Pardon my ignorance, but what for? Just to see if your engine is running clean?

Gave it a nice car wash and wax from a local DIY place. Came out great! Took this photo coming out of the gym when I saw it parked between two different gen RXs and noticed how cool Atomic Silver looked in this lighting, almost liquid-metal like.

pop grill out the front

Looks sick man, I would've done this a long time ago if those damn emblems weren't so expensive.
