Things you NEED to get rid off.

Smoked LEDs - Put in some OEM 01+ 2nd gen Tail lights. It'll look 10x better!
Black Top of your trunk - WTF is that??
Black Roof - Wtf??


Stop using ebay!!!!!

I'm sorry, but nice try. This is a LEXUS. Not a Civic.

Not trying to hate, just trying to save you from wasting more of your money on meaningless crap.
I don't think the LED's are half bad. In fact, they look pretty good. The 01+ tails have the nasty orange section that he'd have to red tint.

The two tone colors are also very unique. I like it. It's different, appealing, and it gives the GS a completely different look. In a way, it looks more aggressive (perhaps because of the point on the hood). Either way, I think it looks great.

Bluelex also has two tone and his GS is one of the greatest looking GS's on here.

The black two tone on the silver looks amazing. If he had chosen something like red, then I'd agree with you but in this case, I think the colors work out very well. The trunk did look unusual at first but as I look at it more and more, it looks better and better.

And what part of this car besides the tails do you see ebay? Everything else on this car is immaculate. The kit, paint scheme, rims, etc. all look absolutely fantastic.

This IS a Lexus. It's VERY FAR from being a civic.

By the way, I'm surprised no one asked you this.

What part did you play in the making of Cloverfield? It'd be nice to have some sort of celebrity on here.

I like....don't listen to any negative comments. The ONLY thing I would change would be the wheels...to a nice set of high polish, staggered, deep dish 3-pc wheels (= or < 19"). I would add more performance mods too. Good job though...

definitely not feeling the tails either, its more the way they light up in that square led pattern then anything else that gets me. i think oem 01-05's would look cleaner, but it ain't my car. also would've considered painting the roof and trunk spoilers so they flow better with your two tone paint job.

anyway, to anybody that doesnt like the comments quoted above...the guy posted pics here expecting to get comments so, it is what it is. everybody is entitled to their own opinion positive or negative, take it with a grain of salt.

I like your car a lot, its nice to see something diffrent, other than TTE LIPS, Supra brakes and other generic mods people be having around here.

The only criticism I have is the meaty tires. You should look into getting low profile tires
