I love c/f. I added genuine c/f garnishes and plate frames to complete the TRD theme. I was planning to do so more items but I am no longer modding this car.












I would go with the sporty c/f look. I think a great idea for you would be to add a c/f diffuser to the rear bumper (if one is available for the GS). Or, you can do what socalsc4 did. Add a strip of c/f, have it clearcoated on the rear bumper (can't locate the pics). You can do the same to the front as well (pic below)

I don't know if he is a member of CL but back in 2001, I recall scrolling overboost.com for modified Lexus GS's and discovered Martin Kraft's GS400.. Now that black GS had some beautiful carbon fiber pieces to it. Any pics of it here? The car had Volk wheels, TRD steering wheel, Greddy exhaust,and mesh inserts I recall. That car had me going bananas back then..

I almost click on " more girls pic ",
but I guess better focus on the choices, yes, classy look, I am not a big fan of CF. But I have seem some of them are very tastefully done in CL.

Sick's got 99 problems but a b***** aint 1!


Not really a CF fan on the GS. I would opt out. But if you insist, SoCalSC4's would be the foundational template to use

this is the only pic that I can find since overboost.com dwindled years ago. Overboost did a wonderful spread on his car.

How 'bout some subtle cf accents. Like has been said, too much cf is cheesy.
