Ebay is the only place I could find it, its a bit expensive $135. I put off getting it for a while because of the price but there aren't many options. It looks really great in person. I'm probably going to clear coat it since I saw they can start faded in the finish after a while.

Nice ride, I need to seal my head lights too, thanks for the reminder. Also I can’t stop worrying about that wooden board perched right above your hood, looks like it could give right in the middle and come down right on your hood. I’ll take your FSport bumper off you if it does! I’m looking to do a conversion on my 2013 GS350 Starfire pearl.

Haha yeah that thing is going down the next few weeks. Nothing has ever happened so knock on wood. The F Sport bumper was $440 according the shop bill.

Got my black pearl front emblem on Saturday. I read that they can start fading and chipping soon. I ordered a 2k clear and just cleared it to protect it. Came out really good, its worth the extra $ on a quality clear so I don't have to replace it. Will post a pic when its back on the car.

Had some LEDs sitting in my trunk that I used on my previous car. Ended up being the correct ones for the exterior mirror puddle lights so I went ahead and did the swap. Before and after below. Sharing a couple videos in the DIY thread as well.

Washed, dried, AMMO Reflex, AMMO Skin, AMMO Creme. I am ready for the winter. Hopefully the paint is too. Long holiday weekends are the best for these long tedious steps. Car hasn't left the garage since Wednesday evening.

With a good wax, the slush glides off the car and stays cleaner longer. Then just go to a coin OP to give it a quick spray and it comes out mostly clean.

Tinted my fog lights with a vivid grey. Maybe should have gone darker but it’s a improvement. Blacking out the fog houses and tint makes it flow better for stock bumper.
