LS > ES by far

The GS has the same chrome trim too.

Well, maybe it's okay to look like this more recent example. Obviously, there is precedent in the Lexus family for this look.

Heres the front bumper area... (sorry for the cr*py pics, I took them after work. Anyways, i like how the chrome is really subtle and doesn't scream 'bling bling/rice
BTW Those are my new is rims hehehe.

I think maybe tuan92129 has caused a contageous epi-freakin-demic with the chrome trim thing!

Oh oh....I'm starting to feel some symptoms coming on myself...!!

Where's the nearest Autozone?!?!

OKOK, not sooo much on the chrome trim now...gotta keep the Lexus nice and classy
HAHA I dunno...i parked next to a 97 LS in the Lexus dealership parking lot today (I was there to buy some lug nuts) and I felt kind of...not worthy of the chrome haha.

For in between the tailight idea...that would only look good in my opinion if you baked the lights and took them apart to actually stick them inside inbetween the brake/turn signal horizontally.

Another thing i kind of like is that the window sill on the inside for Honda/acuras and some Toyota's have a chrome strip. I kind of want to do that, but i dunno a little too much chrome for me.

Thumbs up
Did this mod today.
It's so subtle, yet it perfectly accents the chrome/silver in the wheels and the headlights. This is a PERFECT 2ES mod. Why, oh, why didn't it come this way in the US?!?
Thanks for bringing this to light for us, Tuan!
