man my gs4 is finally back! in case you don't know or forgot what happened, here's the original thread. but it's cool, that lady is probably crying now anyway, not my problem
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=accident
so my car is finally back from the body shop. while at it i figure it's time to repaint the front end of the car as well to get rid of all the chips. so repainted the hood, the bumper, and also the front ugo lip. and now they are all fully protectec by xpel film, and i feel really good. i even custom cut and install the front ugo lip piece myself![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
and since it's the end of the year, me and my wife we decided to give the gs4 a little christmas present. we don't have much money coz' of our wedding so we couldn't get much big items. we ended up doing the xpel, getting the l-tuned steering wheel ecu, took away all the stickers, new ebc green stuff brake pads for the front ap racing brakes, a full interior and exterior detailing job (again done by me and my wife), and umm..... little finishing touches.
anyway, it's raining like hell here in norcal, i was lucky to be able to take some pics during christmas when it wasn't raining. just wanna show my baby shine, here you go....

Your GS is lookin' even sweeter with the 540R's now! BTW, nice job on the detailing.

Oh yes. HRE's are always a good upgrade on your tight budget !

Can't wait to see what mod you come up with when you save some money.

I couldn't agree more with RMMGS4's comments about your so-called "little finishing touches". Like he said I would really like to see what you would do if your budget was not tight.

Now all that is left to finish out your car is to install a not so major mod as a Twin Turbo with beefed up tranny and engine. Maybe next month? Another tight budget project I would say!
