Default Beautiful day in San Antonio TX
Spent the July 4th weekend installing my RMM side skirts & Techno R (TTE Rep ) front lip. Skirts go right over factory skirts plus some screws. The rep lip fits well but is a PITA to mount used screws, betalink & locktight. The chrome around the headlights are the wifes addition. I'm not a fan of them per-say buttt... you know the saying... Happy wife...

Much better. It seemed to be missing something before.

It looks really nice.

Personally, the wheels and the subtle body mods give it a race car look that is VERY sporty, and I really like that.

However, it seems those chrome rings on the headlights and the chrome front grille really take away from this look.

I would get an aftermarket grille like a TRD or RMM or black out the factory GS400 grille to get rid of the bling.

TRUST ME I KNOW! I have a L Tuned grill & Abum.. grill as well. I had the Ltuned grill on the car before the chrome stuff showed up in the mail. That's when I stripped the paint off my factory grill to help balance out the chrome rings. I already tried to pry the chrome off the headlights so I'm waiting for them to magically fall off the car... HINT...HINT...

Matching colors of the wheel rim and the car is a nice touch!

I really like the new additions but, those rims are awesome with the little touch of matching red, great car!
