Default Just a couple post-EOS mods :)

Just a few mods that arrived after Norcal's biggest Lexus Get-together...

Sewell's awesome body colored front grille surround, and a GTSpec front strut tower brace. This brace is pretty good quality, and significantly less expensive than anything else out there. I had to trim the two side covers, but no biggie.

Is the body matched grille insert available through sewell's online store? I can't seem to find it on their site, a link would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone else, i really like the way the brace and the grill look!
