Looks great with the darker grille. A drop would look nice

So today was a test fitment and the front lip obviously doesnt fit well around the foglight area. i trimmed around it and it looks good to me.

i got my s techs today and will be installing them tomorrow along with my LS460 tips.

i will be sanding down the lip tomorrow and paint matching it. also probably do a debadging while im at it

ill be putting 3M tape to get rid of the gaps and i still have to use a heat gun on the front lip since it warped on me when it was sitting in the garage.
