Smile update: guess its time to post some pics of my car....

so i signed up to this forum a few months ago but did more reading than anything, i never posted any pics, besides i don't really have much pics of the car yet , im on this site so damn much now its like a drug, my previous car was a 05 maxima and i was addicted to that forum as well, i just find forums very helpful but so far club lexus is number one for me, the information here is AWESOME!!! ...... the car is a 99 GS300, i bought if from my brother in law who had bought it brand new at the time so im basically the second owner, unfortunately hes not the type to take care of his cars so the exterior was pretty beat up, the car was originally that dark brown color, i wasn't to crazy about, so i bought and threw it in the shop , took car of all the body damage and then decided to give it a make over, we ended up going to the viper blue and added metallic pearls to it, im very pleased! did the roof black, tinted the tails, and molded a front lip , i believe its the vis one , could be wrong ( im not too crazy about it no more though) currently its sitting on 20 inch divnci havocs that need to be changed asap, then from there its a project in progress and i hope to keep you guys updated the whole way , heres just a few pics sadly but will deff have better and more detailed soon ...thanks...
as i promised more pics....

thanks..yeah door jams , trunk are paints to match , and under the hood is black....as for the lip when it was molded and finished it looked good but for some reason when we put it on the car and finished it off i wasnt too crazy but it was too late at that point so might change the fron in the future....and the rims yes your right way too gangster and im over them , they were on my maxima but they deff need to do

Welcome! I like the color, you've got a great platform to work with. IMHO bulky front lips like that don't work without sideskirts and a rear bumper, makes the front end look too heavy, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what you're seeing now that it's mounted. It would look alot better if you put on sides and rear that would drop the body lines to flow with it.

more pics are on the way i promise, and thanks for the comments and honest opinions....question tho, that lip is molded, will it be easy to take off or would i just have to get a new bumper to start fresh with??
