Really sharp looking work, Globe. BTW, I was passing the Lexus dealer today and saw a new GS300 in the same color = a dark gunmetal gray. Very, very good color on the GS.

I think that's the nicest, most professional looking "mod" I've ever seen. Very classy and it looks like it's always been that way! I, too, wish that was an option from the factory (I'm way too scared to do something like that myself!).
Is your GS also the one with the "painted over" center tail lights?

Yes I HAD the painted over center taillights. They were painted with the semi-transparent silver paint so when I step on the brake the light lights up 100%, and when I don't step on the brake it's just 100% silver.
But I ripped it off. It made the rear way too fat. And I prefer the quad design.

Is that special paint you bought at the paint shop?

I was going to do this too but desided that then the car really would turn into a civic....I mean, body kits, taillights, wheels, race type stuff, when it's really a luxury car, and you don't want to loose that.

richie: it's a special paint that you can get at japanese car parts shops. However it's like 22 dollars for a small can, just enough for the 2 inner lights :eek:
the trim or the silver taillight?

i dont get it... Are you saying the silver taillights look like a guy with a civic would do then i guess we all prolly have the same opinion on that....but....
if you meant the interior was sumthin a person with a civic (ricer) would do then read on:
supras, skylines, nsx, evo lancer, silvia s15, rx7, mr2 tt Are all imports.... They get very highly modded performance wise have alotta custom graphic's.. custom interior... ETC.... And you do know that skylines are made in 4door also. Lexus is also a Japanesse import... and we do modify it too..... its a Luxury Sports sedan..... But Not a PURE luxury car... Its made so you can enjoy the luxury+performance+style at the same time....
if you want pure luxury get a LS430 or a S500 or a Bently.
if your see a highly modded Skyline....
Would you say "look theres another civic"??
if you would... Man... go and get a mustang or something.

Globe, what is the spoiler you had on the car when you took the pic with painted over lights? That's the look I want, but can't locate a source. Steve Ganz is trying also. Thanks for any info.
