Thanks, yeah I have been to a couple of meets, Went to Friday night lights once in summer of 2009.

"KINGPIN39"- I will be getting my exhaust done in the summer. As for the hid website it is under construction. In the picture I believe you were looking at, had the low beams on but you could see unless you look close. As for the DRL just disconnect the bulb.

nice job on the smoked tail lights im usually not a fan of tinted tails but those actually look really good with the dark dark rear tint but...
IMHO there is too much of a difference in the front and back windows, if you want to go 35% up front you need to go less than 5% in the back its just too much contrast. I would suggest putting another layer of tint on the front to make them darker and have less contrast between front and back. But overall a good car and i like the unique black roof look

I like the "panaramic" roof as well.. did mine a few months ago and put a HKS exhaust on it with 35% tint all round ( california is bad for tint tickets plus i think too dark loses something but that's just my opinion. Let em see who's driving it ). Also painted the grill gloss black w/chrome trim and emblem.Wheels and drop coming soon. Here's my work in progress.. BTW lets join the silver GS thread and show some support..

Yeah i like the 35% all around looks cleaner, but want to see how it looked with 5% and 35% in the front. They are hard here on tickets too, recently passed a law to allow 35% in the front but still got a ticket, Printed when the bill passed off of ill.gov gave it to them and said it legal in Illinois but in Chicago. I knew they would play some trick,so I played it safe I took a picture of another gs with no tints and got away with it for the second time :-) .

I am down to show my support to the silver Gs thread..

well thats sheety..the tickets i mean.. im still not sure on black faced wheels or chrome.. Chrome on a silver car is a classic long lasting look i think and black with a polished or chrome lip looks hard as hell too. Still undetermined as what wheels to go with. Your black wheels make me think it enhances the roof effect. Chrome is a lil understated, which what i want. Just enough to be different but not enough to get pulled over after leaving a bar/restaurant for being "modded" and eff's with. I had some staggard black 5 spoke chrome lipped wheels on my last car ( Z32) and it looked tough as nails with the black T-top roof but i dunno about my Lexus. Not going for the ricey thing and my exhaust is bigger than i wanted but it was free on a trade.. BTW can you see my pics? not sure if i DL'd them right.

I think about polishing my entire rims for this summer but i don't want to loose my silver and black theme. I say you should get some concave rims with no lip some Giovanna dalars, not every ones style but my bother had them on a couple of his cars and they look sick on every one. Like my rims the are concave & staggered with lip at the same time, I sometimes wonder how they would look concave with no lip. I cant find any of my bros pics, but found some picture from the guy who bought my brothers car with the rims still on it
