The Lights are looking good man! Just a tip, When your painting paint the inside too so the light wont shine trough the body like they are doing now

Yes I know what your saying but once I paint the body you won't see the shine through I want to install the lights now so not to mess the paint up in handling the body I'm going to work on the tail lights next.

Re: WIP: Lexus GS 400 VIP style

That's an interesting way of eliminating body kit gaps...I might have to try it myself. The lights looks great as well. One thing though, I noticed that you had all of the headlights he same color. I know when I owned my Altezza, only the low beams were HID with a blue tint, the high beams were incandescent with the standard yellowish white tint. The variation in color would really set it off...just my two cents worth.

Keep up the great work!

Jimmy

Re: WIP: Lexus GS 400 VIP style

Sorry for the hold up but i finally was able to put the XBox controller down long enough to put some of this thing together, so heres what i got done so far.

:Paint=Done
:Wheels and suspension=Done
:Interior=Done
:L.E.D.s=Done

Body and chassis are mated but I forgot the rear view mirror and I'm to scared to take it back apart, can you blame me I don't want to F it up now










Almost done just some detail stuff and we're good.
