Looking Good

- Drop (of course)
- Paint Grill (been said a few times)
- If it was me I would take the L off the front grill - I doesn't look bad thou
- MY BIGEST GRIPE: Take that TRD sticker and throw it away might even wanna think about the debadged look - I love it personally. Of course leave the L outback

I think doing all of that would really clean it up, people should be focusing on the wheels and the lines of your GS, not some cheezy TRD sticker, its too ricey for the look your going for.

There's my $.02

As for the Grill, I trying out a few things. I just got the car out of the body shop having the front bumper painted. I kinda like the grill like that, opinions on the street is running 50-50, but here in CL I see most of you is not feeling it. It is being considered. TRD keeps the stop light racers at bay. There aren't too many ricer in my area mostly Mercedes, Bimmers and Caddy's, 300c and Magnums. Keeps them at bay too. LOL. I

Awesome color The chrome wheels look great on a darker color such as ours. Not sure about the trunk, with the TRD, chrome bar and the stock badging seems a little cramped and busy. Something needs to go back there.

90%? I am sure the bug will hit again and by the time you are really done (is there such a time? ), this 90% will really be a much lower percentage.

Congrats on getting it to this point. Looks good.
