Every last mod to this car has been done myself. None of this would have been possible without Club Lexus. The inspiration that this site has given me is unmeasureable. I can't thank you all enough for making sick rides.

Looks great. I dont like the blacked out exhaust.
Now, ...if you put some brand new chrome tips, on that fresh black, new looking exhaust, ...that would look excellent. .02

Looks good man.... the paint on my car (all except the chipped paint on the front bumper) was extremely shiny and in good condition before I painted it - the main reason I painted her was to get rid of all the dents and dings and of course the chipped front bumper...
Lexus used some good quality paint on these cars, only ones that have been severely neglected are in bad shape...
Yours does look good, and it sounds like we are on similar tracks with our cars...

The paint on the old cars is amaizing. I have a 93 and it's still beautiful.. bar the crappy fix due to some terrible hit and run! Pointed out how the place didn't match colors right and they redid my rear bumper... still not right... oh well I gave up.
