haha, basically. I drive a lot with windows rolled down and being loud at low speeds honestly made the car feel slower. I was barely doing anything and it was still loud 😂 with just the Borla I can take off much faster without all the noise. I didn't know how much I missed that until now

Finally got around to installing my illuminated door sills. My 15 and 19 GSs had them and I really liked them. My 20 did not come with them, so I ordered some a while ago, though they've been sitting in the garage in their box for quite some time.

The Mods are working and flowing nice. I like. The New wheels (lots of work washing), F Sport front Grill, and Triple Headlights. Sweet.

Ok, so how is everyone getting black wheels on their GS? They all come with the silverfish wheels. Also, Peasodos, for the F-Sport grill and bottom part, are those black or Grey colored. I ask because, it looks like they are grey colored if I order from Lexuspartsnow. I thought they were black. Thanks.

I have aftermarket wheels. You can also find a good shop to paint or powder coat them black

Wheel refurbisher, my wheels are finished in PVD Black Chrome. The wheels I have are the 2013-2015 18” lux wheels. The top grill was originally a gray color, I painted it Black. Chrome trim around it is wrapped gloss black.

Love the black chrome P. I'm still not fully onboard with the black wheel fad but the BC definitely looks the best of all of them. My bud has a 15 SRT Grand Cherokee and the factory BC wheels looks stunning on it.

I use a Bluetooth media button to control audio when using the screen mirroring system. I found a better spot for it on the back/bottom of the steering wheel so that's it's invisible (I can't stand aftermarket interior stuff) and easily reachable. I used to have it down in the footwell area.

Was going to wait until I got the F Sport grilles but, had a day off with nice weather and don't have the grilles yet. Ebay front lip spoiler installed. Thanks @Kingmatt24 for your help! I intend to chrome delete the fog light trim when the grilles go in. I took the car for a ride on the highway to make sure the lip spoiler wouldn't fall off and wanted to get a few pics before the sun went down. My apologies for the dirty car as I didn't have enough time to wash it first.

Not getting political here, but living in Florida, we don’t have to have a front license plate. Peasodos and Jutmss32 and others, when you post pics, my eyes go straight to the front license plate. Just think of how much better the front end would look if that were not there. Nothing you can do, The cars still look great.

It is what it is... In MA, if you have one of the old plates with the green numbers and letters, you only need a rear plate and are grandfathered in as long as you still have it. I had one up until a few years ago. I went for my annual safety inspection and was told that I had to exchange it for a new plate which requires both front and rear. The reason was that the reflectivity on the plate had faded. The paint on the plate was still fine to me and perfectly legible. Anyway, they wouldn't give me a new sticker without it. On the bright side, the colors on this plate match the car better than white with green. Here's a pic of my old Camry before the plate change. I wasn't happy about having to put screws into my front bumper.

Are you familiar with RightCar Solutions silicone license plate frames that come in different colors?

These silicone frames are nicely made and really gives a nice clean look!

The gray silicone frame goes well with silver exteriors and the black silicone frame goes well with black exteriors and also front mounted factory license plate brackets.
