Looking good! But I think you need to go standard or RS accessory rear lights - they'll suit the OE bodystyling so much better :D

Looks good but two things...
1. remove the lexus rear lights and fit either clears or originals
2. add a white sun strip

Glad the lights are going :)

I think either would look good, but i think a black one would go with the wheels and mirrors :wink:

Thinking about it... Black would be better as you already have a lot of white going on, black sun strip :)

Didn't cost me a penny!! My dad sprayed it, he used to have his own garage so we have most the equipment still. It came out really well considering it was sprayed under a car port!!

Celleouse is easier to work with and air dries. 2K paints need a hardener adding to dry
