I'll try to get it posted in a few weeks. I'm waiting for an adapter to be reach me, don't want to splice or tap into the existing wires on my car. Outer lights are plug/play but the truck lid light is a 4-pin plug and factory is a 6-pin plug. To be fair i was warned this might happen... older gen might be total plug/play.

I was thinking about smoke but here in Hawaii we have a thing called Safety Check which is done early and they give you such a hard time.

New front pads, rotors and lower control arm bushings. I took way too long but got it done.

Chrome delete for the GS…a lot harder than I expected. Local shop wanted $1k to do it so tried it myself. Not perfect but as many wrap shops and pros have said, Lexus is one of the hardest to do. Looks awesome though IMO and helps bring the GS into the newer generation of car styling…

Finally did the F Sport calipers I’ve had laying around for about 2 years now. Sanded, primed, cleared, decals, and baked.

Don't know what was more tedious, trying to finish with those sticker straight, or finding the correct set up F Sport pads that have lots of bite, but don’t make any noise at all.

Last time I needed a custom connector I went to https://corsomotion.com/ I live local so it was easy though

You happen to have a link or the size of the decals? I looked at some but they have a bunch of options for length and curvature.

Yes I do. I used 2 different ones and put them together. No curve just straight. I had to figure which out too, myself. This combo ended up being larger than most of the other ones I have seen others use. I just hope it's not too big? But I am happy with the custom out come I mixed.

Used just the L 1st letter cut out from this one because it was bigger.

Used the LEXUS name only from this one because they were bigger and longer than all others I saw. They are 4.5 inched instead of 4.3 inches.

Looks like poster 6 has the same size I used?
