Looks great! Do you plan on making any more? I might be interested in buying one if the fitment and quality are there.

Thank you! but where would you recommend placing it?

If I do move it, I can take pictures of how it was placed

I could do a DIY if I decide to take it off to maybe paint or change the emblem location, it just went in so snug its a shame .

Picked up mesh at lowe's, whatever looked good to me
Got my buddy to powdercoat it black to match the surround as close as possible,
Very simple, no details on the mesh

Ahh, I had it in the lower right, looked good.
But then I moved it up to cover up some wires you could see through the mesh.
Looks much better in person that way

Hmmm, interpretation is the name of the game I guess. But good job on being creative and unique, it's just a little played out over the years, like carbon wraps IMHO. It's a $65k Lexus after all...

Sure, but I'm still young and have my play time with cars for a few more years
And I fail to realize it has that hefty of a price tag,
Mine was quite literally half of that.
I'll grow up once I realize resonators and mufflers are appropriate,
Drone-heavy qes is the way to go
