Default Lights?

Your car inspired me to buy one and do a carbon fiber buildout. I just bought a 2015 GS 350 F Sport and right now I have it in the shop getting tints, calipers painted, and a radar installed. I also have 5 carbon fiber pieces being built in Japan. I was hoping you could tell me how to go about getting those beautiful headlights. I think they look waaaay better than the base one bulb design. Also, do they function normally with a high beam and low beam? Any input and advice is much appreciated. Great job with your car!

Thanks man. Awesome. Which carbon kit did you get? I mixed and matched what I liked and got them. Got cf side skirts coming soon and aimgain roof spoiler. Headlights u gotta look on eBay but one without any broken tabs. And for high beams for f sport models u have to do a little wiring to get them to work. But u will always have a headlight level error on ur dash

Well I didn't get a kit per say but I ordered carbon fiber b pillars, roof spoiler, and trunk spoiler from Artisan Spirits. I bought the front bumper garnish and trunk garnish from Skipper that you did. I also ordered the carbon fiber door handle garnishes from LX Mode. To me the most important thing is not voiding my 3 year warranty so I won't be able to modify my car's drivetrain the way I'd like. If I had no warranty I'd do exactly what you did cause it's awesome!

Default Hey

I have some questions I'm hoping you can answer. When you bought the black sensors for the front bumper how much did they cost? When you install the bumper garnish do you have to take off the sensors or is it an easy install? How much better would you say your car sounds after swapping the exhaust and intake? Just curious. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Yours is the best thread I've found and definitely the most well rounded buildout I've seen.

Hi guys I own a 2013 gs f sport myself and I recently installed a cat back system but I'm not satisfied with the sound. Will installing an intake help improve the sound? I need help as it's the first time I've tuned my car. The sound seems very muffled i would like to improve the quality of sound and was wondering if an intake would help

Thank you very much

Wsup man. I got the black sensors from eBay paid around $80.00. The garnish can go on without removing any sensors. Just double sided tape. For exhaust it sounds mean as heck and I got the takaeda afe intake and sounds great. You can hear the intake more at higher Rpms. Thanks man. My car ain't all that great hahaha. I got some new stuff coming soon hopefully will keep u all informed

You need the mid pipe from Invidia or Joe z since he makes the awd ones. But I didn't want to wait for these clowns to make one so I had a shop cut off the driver side front pipe and weld on the oem driver pipe to Invidia mid pipes and sounds awesome. If you want a sound clip lmk.

That's crazy! $80.00??? I just ordered a pair in black from Lexus for $500.00 .
On eBay the only ones I could find are selling for $258 and chance A PIECE. That's over $516. We're either not talking about the same sensors or you got very very lucky!
