Ordered back in April and it finally came in but it’s headed to the retailer for clear bra and won’t actually have her for another we 😫
came with everything but side body molds and orange calipers with 14 miles on the odometer 😁

thinking about adding jdm visors and takeda intake still

That is one rare car with triple beams. Try finding a new RWD in dealer stock with triples. Beautiful car! Really wish I had the triples on my 18 RWD.

sure is. When I was looking only awd had them which i don’t understand why. To make it more rare I added drs and hud 😁 I only wish they had a grey interior. I’m surprised they gave me the discounts with the custom order but happy they did. 3 month wait was totally worth it

Anyone installed a dashcam on their car? I feel like the lka pushes it pretty far down and makes it pretty visible but not sure where else to put it.

That's gotta be my favorite front end on the newer GS I've seen. Looks so clean! I'm assuming you just vinyl wrapped the chrome right? You do it yourself?

Thanks bro! I appreciate that! No, in fact I actually painted all the chrome. Took it to a body shop and had it painted.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? The more I compare wrap to paint, the better paint looks.

ya bro it really is all about preference at this point. Either way you choose, you’ll be good. I paid $100 for the entire chrome delete on the car. I actually got hook up by my boy who has a shop. I’d love to see pix after you’re done bro!

100 bucks?! That's a hell of a deal!! I am going to start calling around tomorrow and see if I can get some pricing to get the chrome delete painted. Did you get any over spray from them painting? I plan on doing a full paint correction and ceramic coating this fall (too damn hot in AZ right now!) so I get a little nervous about over spray. Kinda hi-jacked the thread, but mind posting a pic from the side?? Curious how the painted side chrome looks.

I’ve been thinking about this too. Right now it’s getting clear bra put on but the guy can also black out the trim but I think I’ll hold off on it for now

@Chavez562

Is your car color Atomic Silver? I have Atomic Silver and really like how the chrome delete looks on yours..clean! Do you mind sharing (or a link) where you got the front lip? There are some on Ebay but mostly for 13-15 model year. Thanks & happy driving👍
