Default It's nice to be back here after..... I need some Advice..

What’s up CL it’s good to be back here ….. keep it short I had a 03 GS300 which you can see in the link
( https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-new-pics.html )
I tried to add some mods to it but about 3 yrs ago I got rear ended and they totaled my car, so I decided to stay in GS family and I bought 07 GS 350, after 2 years I decided to sell my GS 350 and get a 2013 RX 350 Premium package for my wife and bought pearl white 02 GS 430 for myself….  it’s been a week since I have my car and I love it, I can’t imagine being away from GS family… so now it’s time to start adding some mods to it…
Now I am here and I need advice ….
My friend gave me his 07 FX35 headlights and I want to retro my Headlights… what do u guys thk should I do it or not?
Also I want to change my interior wood grain color but I am having hard time deciding new color …my interior is tan/gray, and I don’t know what color should I go with? If you guys have any ideas or interior pic’s somebody has done it before I would like to see them.. I have done research but couldn’t find any pic’s or threat about it…..

Thank you…

hmm, not sure bout the headlights. not much different than a HID stock. i may be wrong. But as far as the interior, this is how i was thinking of mixing it up. I never felt the Grey fits with the tan.

I think that's a good combination black/tan but honestly i am fine with gray/tan I just want to change wood grain color but I don't know what color should I go with...

nice, what i've yet to see done in the tan/grey interiors is blackwood... I think it would accent the colors better than the maple they come with.

Thats what I was thinking to do, but I dnt know I thought black will be to much with that mix and I don't like that maple they come with so either.. If it was black interior I think is the only way to go.

Welcome back! Definitely do the retrofit, virtually any projector will be much better than the stock hids.

I'd say just slowly go through a black complete interior makeover.

deff wrong, a projector is much better then a factory hid headlight

op: do the retrofit it makes a huge diff in output and width, plus the fx has a really nice lense
