Update: it’s done! Stoked with the outcome. Wasn’t patient enough to order a new grill, but I sanded and repainted mine with a matte green and it came out stellar. Thanks for the motivation!
Congrats on your new GX! Mine has been really good to me except for the paint.. Blizzard White Curse :( But mechanically, bullet proof aha. Be sure to change your Timing Belt & Water Pump!
@@OverlandRay yup that’s on the list for sure, I’m in the same boat with you I didn’t realize when I bought the car it already had a small paint chipping away on the rear door :/
I cannot find the grille on AliExpress. All the ones on eBay come without the emblem. Do you happen to know what year GX460 the emblem is from? Apparently it changed once or twice.
Ray, Did you have problems with your Blizzard White paint? If so, did Lexus do anything about it? We have a 2008 GX470 and the pai t is peeling. The trim and grill look great!!! R, Jim
I haven't had issues with peeling on its own yet but when I did my headlight restoration. I left the blue masking tape for a couple days and it peeled off small bits of paint around there. Thanks btw!
I haven't notice any wind noises with the bumper cut. As for the MPG I felt like I've have a leak in my gas tank since the day I bought it LOL. But no I haven't noticed any MPG difference with the cut.
My hands are hella shaky, i barely trust myself LOL I know a guy that could cut it for you locally if you really need it cut aha. He has way steadier hands. He used to do a bunch of bumper cuts 2 years ago.
Gotta love supporting exterior mods🔥🔥🔥
That's a clean rear bumper cut.
this was cool to watch man, you cut on all the same lines i plan on using. looks really clean
Thanks!
That black grille install made a world of difference in the front face, I've gotta get that done to my 01 Runner, I'm still on factory grille.
Super clean cuts brother! Motivated me to take the plunge and do it tomorrow!

Damn dude...those are clean cuts. It looks badass!
Thanks brotha! The "Edgar" cut is the easiest and cleanest imo!

Did you noise a difference in wind noise or mpg after the front bumper cut?
I haven't notice any wind noises with the bumper cut. As for the MPG I felt like I've have a leak in my gas tank since the day I bought it LOL. But no I haven't noticed any MPG difference with the cut.
@@OverlandRay nice man, thanks for the reply. I just watched your solo camping trip to pinnacles. Looked like an awesome trip and it was a great vid!
Love the videos! Btw what kind of hitch receiver you have?
Thank you! I don't have a hitch receiver on mine aha
What rain gaurds you got on the window
Nice!
You put a cracked front grill on your 470?? That would not fly for me
For the grille, what are the chances the chrome surround off the OEM grille fits on the F-Sport style grille?
I'd have to check but the grille for the F sport style grille is off a GX460
Any chance you grabbed the part number for the badge? I just received the grille but no badge came with it
GX460 Badge on eBay! 53141-60090
Will a 4r trd front skid fit on the gx?
I'm not sure i know they share pretty much the same chassis from the 2nd half. I would ask the company you're going for to confirm.
I don’t trust myself sawing into plastic. You available to do the same on mine? Haha
