Vote me in for "liking the new unique look." BTW, what body shop did you get this work done? I'll need a reference to get ours done too. Had some tree sap damage that penetrated the clear coat. PermaPlate was purchased for the vehicle, but they're disputing the claim. They're such a scam!
It a shop in modesto Called AVP The guys name is Victor. I already talked to him and he said anyone on CL that say the guy with the green lexus refered me he will take care of. He really does good work along with making sure you are happy with the job. If you need to the Number Pm me.

A loud color like that is enhanced with some sportier darker colored wheels and an agressive drop. So yeah, wheels wheels wheels wheels. Change the wheels and drop and you may have a winner on your hands. I agree with everyone else that the craftsmanship is spot on.


You taking it all wrong Bro after this one guy on here keep hammering on me about my car looking like someone else 10k miles away, I just got tried of it. Yes everyone is entitle to thier opinon as am I. With this being said I wish I could have a lambo in that color lol. Wheels are next but having a hard time find the right set.

I'm not personally a fan of this color on the GS but think you can make it work. I agree that the chrome headlight soundings needed to be color match in your case since there isn't any other chrome up front anymore. I think painting the lower trim gloss black to match the roof will help break up some of the Green on the long door panels along with a set of black machined wheels.
I like everyone of these ideas and plan on the wheel thing just not sure which one I plan on doing

I think the Bright green 3gs in Japan pulls off this colour nicely because he is running deep dish black rims with a full bumper replacment kit and it absolutely decked on the floor, whilst yours is the opposite.

The paint job quality looks excellent though, at least you had the guts to attempt something different state side though.
Sorry to say I agree with the above posts. They did a super job but that green doesnt light my fire. However, it really doesn't matter what I like. As long as you are happy, that is what counts. I will say, you dropped lots a bucks!

Sorry if it upset you didnt mean to offend, its a forum, a open place for discussion and debating..
I never said I didnt like your car, if you look through the post most people said similar as me, in regards to wheels and lowering?

I really like how your car sit laid out in the rear. It look nice just not my style for wheels though. Don't worry I have big plan in the next couple of months right before the meets start up again. I ordered my wheels today along with my other parts today, jsut waiting on UPS now.
