If you want that "clean & subtle" look.

My mods are as follows:
-TTE front lip
-TTE style rear spoiler
-Tein CS v2. (1 1/2 finger gap)
-LED tails
-Borla tips
-tint

I'm pretty much done with the car. Now here are the photos (Hasn't been washed in a month):

those modas look so much like a 18 inch version of the 17 inch GS 5 spokes.

thanks for the good words guys. btw- I'm a Realtor too.

here's my "how it should've been oem" chuckb sport edition GS430.

Sweet rides guys. Chuck, your car and sleeper's were my inspiration for this thread. Lookin good guys. the R6's look good too. I think I know which way I'm gonna go. I also am trying to fix my wing situation. Wow I guess there are a few Realtors® here. we should start a Realtor® Lexus Owners club!!hehe

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words. I know there are some replicas on Ebay but I just spent the extra $200 to get the OEM wheels. They make me sleep better at night. I know that the 18" 06+ 5-spokes are hard to come by. It seems that everyone is selling only IS250/350, and the 10 spoke 06+ GS wheels which I believe are 17". I guess you gotta wait for 06+ GS owners to buy a new set of wheels before you can find a deal here on the forum. I was impatient and purchased mine from Sewell Lexus.

Chuck: Every time I see that 2nd photo, it makes me think your car is black even though I KNOW it's not.
