One of the best body kits for the GS...TTE lip, l-tuned sides, and L-sportline rear... Nice...
+1. Think it'll look better once you get the new wheels on as well.

Like tmf said, a little too much black with the grill blacked out, already a pretty stark contrast with the silver. I'd personally also ditch the tsuna and fusa.... you aren't headed in a VIP direction at all with your car and they don't really fit the theme.

Clean car and if you like it that's what matters most!

Surprisingly, I actually don't mind the hood. I have never understood why people in this forum hang the ball of yarn from their review mirror. Remind me of those native american 'dream catchers' that people buy at truck stops.

Lookin good. Love the combo of the TTE, L-Tuned, and L-Sportline pieces. I think the contrast of the black and silver is too much, that's why you're getting all the negative comments. Maybe if you did a subtle 2 tone like BlueLex and Lexus_Kid, it would give it a much different look, say instead of black, you went with GGP or a shade darker silver?. In the end of course, it's your car and that's what matters. I myself like it. Gives it a sporty flair. Now put them wheels on!!lol

Well the Sarona rear is great, but the sides are real L-Tuned not replica..

I love the wheels but the stripe looks like a skunk stripe. I would lose it IMO.
