Thumbs up

I like the mods you're making (you know I'm copying your black grille and emblem scheme ) but I agree with Slooooow that a rear spoiler is too much. Rims, lights & tint do enough and you may want to think twice about pimping it out too much with a spoiler. Just my $.02

Small update for you guys. The front emblem has finally chipped. Its small but quite noticeable for me. I'll be considering new paint to use since it lasted this long lol (I just had to drive behind a construction truck >.<) so I'll probably update with more pics

Considering black but with flake in it....

Haha, its all good Tuan. I don't mind repainting them. The new flakey black looks very interesting so I'm torn between the two now lol

Ok so I'm going to debadge my 2nd Gen on Friday and repaint it back to it's golden shine. Is 3M tape the best or is there something better and are there any holes underneath the front Lexus emblem because I got a nice little LED application that I want to try. Will post pics when I'm done. Thanks.

Whoa, forgot about this thread. The emblems are still good. Just a bit faded from 3 years of solid sun/heat exposure. I'm debating to redo them again or not though
