I hear the 4G GS window trim is one of the most difficult cars to wrap. That's why I haven't even attempt it yet. The mirrors too are very difficult to wrap due to the extreme curves almost perpendicular to each other. CKWraps YT channel have some good how-to videos for our cars. Need to watch more to get some pointers.

Check PM...Mine was done professionally. Did you also wrap the chrome trim piece on the trunk below the "L"? that was also done on mine, the only thing they did not do were the emblems which I did with Plasti dip.

I did do the back. I may redo it since the edge didn't come out the greatest but its an easy job. still thinking about what I want to do with the emblems and how to do it. Did you do those yourself?

The emblems I did myself, I did not use the flat black plasti dip you can get at Home Depot but used there Black Sapphire and there Glossifier, both I got from https://www.dipyourcar.com/ I did 3-4 coats of the black and the same for the glossifier. Also did the chrome license plate holder.

Had my oil replaced, found out my idler puller was almost seized up to do past history on the car with water in the bearing. Had it replaced. Also saw my front brake pads were completely shot so replaced those last night.

For me, it's more of what i didn't do with my GS today. 13 inches of snow on the ground and sub zero temps. here in Illinois. I don't drive it in the snow and it looks like it's going to be a long time before I drive it again. Winter sucks!

That looks really sharp. I like how you blacked out the grille surround. It really gives the old bumper style a fresh look!

Also, the background streets look oddly familiar.. where do you live? Toronto?

We have another week of non-stop heavy rain here in LA. Took the GS out for a drive near the ocean a little bit ago. The GS is very pleasant to drive in these types of weather conditions. Very secure feeling and confidence-inspiring. Auto-wipers were on full-speed near the entire time. I don't get to experience them out here very often so I was impressed with their performance. Didn't feel the need to manually control them once. They sped up and slowed down in relation to the amount of rainfall and in relation to vehicle speed perfectly. This makes me happy. My last car was an Infiniti Q50S and it had auto-wipers but they were awful. I had to manually control them allllll the time.



Also, ignore my socks and sandals in the reflection in the bumper, didn't think anyone would be seeing that. Damn Atomic Silver (On another note, I haven't washed my car in like two months at least and just two weeks ago we had another week of heavy rain. Atomic Silver never looks dirty ever, it's crazy. Once the rain water dries off, it looks clean which blows my mind. My wheels on the other hand look filthy, but the rest of the car looks spotless. Never experienced this before ever. One of my best friends noticed this and was stunned, thinks it's a Lexus thing. )
