Very nice mod . I have the TRC, but the ovals even look better.

Hope these close-ups help you out. In fact, there was a stencil that came with the exhaust. Only sticked that to the bumper and cut along.

The only thing I don't really like about TRC is that the inside of the exhaust has those holes... Looks a bit odd to me.

o wow thats cool they had a stencil!

the TRC quad is just not aggressive enough for me, the way i see it is, if im gonna do something custom i might as well go all out on it ive decided that when i get the bumper cut im gonna have my friend get rid of the red reflectors also... i think there would be too much going on in the back if i kept them on with the exhaust also

Saw that on some others before but don't know what's the purpose. The same exhaust for the diesel engine doesn't have 'em.

That's gonna be a lot of work to do. But you're right when you start cutting on a body kit, you may also get a custom made exhaust.
I would have liked the Fabulous exhaust because of the ovals, but as it does not have a European certificate, I'm simply not allowed to install it. They are all crazy about all those papers here . (TÜV, EU permit, etc... ) I decided for the TRC 'cause there's not much on the EU-market for Lexus that looks different than stock and it was somehow simple to install together with the Fabulous rear parts.
Sure your project will bring a unique result, especially with the Vertex and removed reflectors.
