Default NEW 01-03 Tail Lights! :)

Hey guys,

Just installed my 01-03 tail lights. I got an awsome deal from Rominl! Contact him via PM or e-mail and he get you a good deal. The install was rather easy. It only took about an hour, since I am mechanically inclined and one screw was a bit rusted. I used Rominl's FAQ and it was a breeze. Right to the point and done. I took a few pics for everyone. Hope you guys like them.

-Anthony

P.S. That is not a scratch in the first pic, just a piece of string. No worries.

Very nice. One of the simplest bestest mods to do. Everyone should definitely upgrade their taillights to the newer model. I just did and already took pictures but haven't gotten around to posting them. Hehehe it always tickles me to see Lexus owners squatting around in an awkward position to take a picture of their cars.....

,

great looking car. Never realized that a simple mod like the tail lights can have so much effect on the appearence of a car.

So what is now going to be your next mod?

And for Rominl, he is the man. He also gave me a lot of advise on how to improve my car.

Awesome! The GS looks astronomically better with the 01-03 taillights.

Thanks for the compliments.

I completely forgot about the plate. Hopefully a mod can take care of it for me so I don't have to reupload them.

My next mod is the L-Sportline rear bumper and clear corners followed by new rims (19") next summer because these 18's have worn out their welcome and are too small.

And as for the picture reflection of me with the goofy work clothes.. enjoy them!

Wow,
going for the L-sportline rear bumper? Are you also getting a lip spoiler etc ...?

I will only concentrate on smaller stuff. Waiting for my carbon fiber roofie
No need to paint and can do DIY

Probably not.. I measured everything up and with the right drop, everything should be aligned perfectly. I can;t wait to see it done next summer. Did I hear carbon fiber? Make sure to post that sucker as soon as you get it!

18x8.5/9.5 Work Termist TM1's.

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/ and scroll down to Termist TM1 for tons of more photo's.

Great company and great wheel. They made an error in my clearcoat on these rims and contact me through Peter at Wheel Experts. Evidently the paint is flawed a bit and can easily chip. They' sent out a brand new set of wheels and are re-imbursing all costs I incur with mouting and shipping. Excellent customer service.
I highly recommend them.
