Interesting......gaps and color look a little off. So you didn't change your fenders or hood?

I like it, to bad the gap at the hood isn't tighter. Did you have to mod the center grill at all? Can't wait to see more pics

I'm sure I could have gotten the gaps a little tighter, but unfortunately this bumper was made from a mold in Japan and required significant mods to accommodate. Basically you keep the same fender and hood with this setup.

Those look like the earlier headlights from the LS600 (also it has the hybrid emblem,) thats why they are the tri-beam LED, so I am guessing they didn't change the headlights.
