Nice video. I’m inspired. It’s 2024 and I got a 23 IS 300 F-sport. Your video is inspiring
bought a ‘16 is350 f sport the other week and your video has given me a lot of inspiration for my modification research! great build bro!
That’s awesome! Congratulations. I’m happy I could help.
hows the car so far? want to get one but I dont know a whole lot if its worth getting or just save money and get a 2016 mazda6. how much are you paying on insurance as well?
car is amazing, fun to drive with a naturally-aspirated v6 and supreme build quality; it'll be more expensive than a mazda for sure but imo it's worth + value will retain well + will last forever + better car overall
i''ve added an apex'i exhaust system to it and planning an intake soon along with wheels
and insurance ain't bad at all, is prob bit more than a mazda but way less than other luxury options like a bmw or merc
hope that helps@@fireninja24x
Best looking IS I’ve seen literally inspired me to do some thing to mine ✊🏼✊🏼
Damn man, I really appreciate that. I’m so thankful for your support 🙏🧡
GR3Y seems like a guy I could have a beer with. 🍻
Something over looked all the time is tires but I run the Firestone fire hawk Indy 500 and they are the best tire for the money trust me the car can handle turns a lot better with a good set of rubbers
That’s great to know! Thank you! I will soon have some good tires on here. I am still waiting out the life of these ones, ones that came with the car. I’ll probably be getting Michelin Pilot Sport 4s!
@@Grey3IS that’s a good choice
@@beast6525 Okay good, thank you😅🙏
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires are amazing! I used them on my 5.0 they are one of the most highly rated high performance summer tires!
Exact tires I have on mine. I must say, the MPG does take a hit lol
Im looking to get the 2014 is350... For sure will be doing some of these mods.. Your car looks sick
Getting my IS300 tomorrow and I love your mods!
Got a is300 2022 284 hp stock.. going to add cool air pipe new exhaust with tune . . Good video 🤙
Me way excited to finally see this as I've been peepin your setup through pics on IG for some time now 👀
That’s awesome. Thank you for your support!
I’m in San Antonio and I saw that you are also in Texas. I recently got a ‘17 IS200t and I’ve been modding it but your video came up and your IS looks awesome.
Hey my man! Thats awesome that you got a 200t, they’re great cars. Im happy for ya. & I’m in the DFW area. I appreciate the support! 🙂🙏
@@Grey3IS I have a friend up there with an RCF lol
@@MTParadise Oh cool!
If I get the 20mm spacers and rsr superdowns, would my tires rub?
There’s a good chance they will. If you have enough stretch, maybe not. But I recommend 15mm in the rear. 20mm should be okay in the front.

13:54 I wish I could have seen the look on my face when you did that shit. Cause I didn’t know you could open the sun shade by just pressing the button when the sun roof was closed. I was in awe…
😄😄 I love that. Believe it or not, it does that!😁 Also, if you didn’t know, when you press the sunroof open button it opens it to the optimal amount for no wind buffeting. But, once it’s stopped opening on its own, you can press the button one more time for it to open ALL the way. But there will be some wind buffeting.🙂
Looks great, only thing Id change is add a light smoke tint to the headlights. Gonna make the chrome look darker and more in tune with the overall look. I did that on my RC350 and it looks amazing. Also tones down the ugly orange
Good idea! I just worry about light output depleting.
it barely affects it, didnt see a difference on mine , I got the triple beams @@Grey3IS
Nice work. The Lexus looks great. Especially the carbon fiber
Thank you my man!
Dope whip ! Replacing the stock wheels will take it to another level
Thank you my man! I’d love to in the future. Thankfully I love the way these look, so they’re great for now😁
@@Grey3IS for the way it looks now, the wheels fit nicely in the package.
@@csl750 I appreciate that! I agree with you.🙏🧡
Just got myself a 2019 Lexus IS 300 F Sport blackline edition 🔥
@@Alberto.23ac OEM triple beam head lights!! Awesome!
Nice ride my good man! Been looking for rear spats/rear lower spoilers, but found only one that really caught my eye, but a bit costly from novel. So haven’t moved forward. The spats you have, might work. Want to look closer at them. Did you have to drill additional holes into the vehicle to secure them? Also, where did you get the rear spats?
Thank you! And I get you. TopEndMotorsports has many authentic body kits. I love the Rowen diffuser that they offer. And yes, you have to drill. I am converting everything to rivets as of recently. But in the beginning I used self tapping screws and nuts with bolts. The spats are from eBay! But you can get them from Ikon motorsports, and email them, then they can paint match them for you. 🙂
Love the videos broski and love the Lexus
I really appreciate that. 🙏🙏
Dahmmm I love this car!! I had to subscribe!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you🙏
sick IS I just got mine last week and can't wait to mod. where's the license plate frame from?
Awesome!! And it’s from NeverContent.jp
2023 IS300 with the 2.0l turbo question. Is the engine in this 200t and my IS300 the same exact setup? Ive been looking for an intake and have found IS200t intakes that looks exactly the same but least expensive. This mod list will help me get my list together. THanks!
Hello! Yes, they have the same 2.0l turbo 4cyl.
@@Grey3IS awesome! great build and I look forward to referencing your mods to get my IS300 done. Tasteful mods on these cars are definitely key. More power to ya! 🤙

@@Grey3IS thanks again for the tip, unfortunately they don't have my colour Atomic grey (1J7 aka Sonic Titanium). But thanks again anyway!!
@@eR1k87 Oh man! You can probably use the contact feature on the website and request that color. I bet it’s possible.
Hey man where you located? Tried ordering an intake but it wasn’t available to my address, maybe California laws? 👎
Hello! I’m located in Texas. And yeah, I bet they won’t let you ship to California. You can try shipping to someone out of state, then having them ship it to you. Or maybe make a P.O. box in Arizona and ship it to there, then pick it up 🤷♂️.
@@Grey3IS yeah it’s looking like I’m gonna have to do something like that, they gave me some shipping options I’ll see if I can get it done, if I do I’ll prob make a vid on it myself 👌 thank you !
Part list is clutch. I've installed LEDs already and will probably go with the spacers next (per your recommendations lol)
I’m glad I could help my man! LED’s are a must. And spacers make that fitment so flush with the fenders which does so much. I appreciate your support! 🙏
@@Grey3IS Quick question about the intake. Is it cold air or short ram? Is their actually a difference between the both?
@@jgiannavola55 It’s a cold air! A short ram is just a shorter intake that has an open filter. It doesn’t necessarily have any benefits beside being able to hear more of the combustion. A cold air intake actually draws colder air(it’s usually longer and farther away from engine, sometimes with a heat shield too), therefore allowing more power to be made. The colder the air, the more oxygen there is in it. When there’s more oxygen in the air, more fuel can be added to make more power. That’s why it’s recommended to have your car tuned to the intake to take full advantage of the power increase capabilities. Short ram is cool for hearing more of your engine, but cold air is ideal for the most power increase (from an intake). I hope this makes sense😁
@@Grey3IS Thank you for the info! I was just a little confused since the link for the intake says short ram on the vivid racing website. I've been looking at the AEM Cold air intake but I'm not sure if that one is worth the extra price and I haven't seen any reviews on it either.
@@jgiannavola55 Gotcha! That’s the hard part, some companies list it as a short ram when it’s really a cold air and vice versa. This guy made a video about the benefits of this style of intake that I have. It helped lower the intake temp by about 20°!
after the tune, what’d you find your 0-60mph go to?
@@Lucas-js1ig Have yet to get one where I don’t spin. Check out my newest tune video. I have a different one now. 🙂
Do you get pops and bangs from the exhaust system too or with the tune
@@dratix1231 From the tune! But the exhaust system allows for them to be as loud as they are.
Is the trunk lexus badge removable with just a heat gun or does it need to be removed from the inside??
Just with a heat gun! It has two guide pins to make sure it’s on there level, but other than that it’s adhesive. 🙂
I’m surprised you didn’t do a throttle controller. Did the tune eliminate the need for a throttle controller??
Pretty much. Yes. I don’t find myself needing one.
I just bought a 2017 IS 300 Fsport with only 12,500. Yes that’s right. Only 12,500 miles!!! also I am the fourth owner! The three previous owners are all middle-aged rich people in this car was one of many that they owned so they barely drove it. So this thing was babied big time and was just basically broken in by the time I purchased it. I’ve had it for six months now and I just rolled 22,000 miles to it. I haven’t done anything to it yet, but I wanna start on it soon. Any suggestions?
That’s awesome!! Great find. I recommend checking out my “best first mods” video for some ideas. But in general, lowering it slightly and adding some cool wheels would be a great start. 🙂
@@Grey3IS great! Thanks. I will check out your video.
does the cool air intake ranking of 2nd place still apply to a 350?
@@davidmercurio7536 You don’t get the turbo noises, so maybe not.

Where did you get the centre console cup holder cover? Thank you for the tansowerkz link.
@@PaulCudaIt’s a part that Tanso used to sell, but they don’t anymore. Sometimes you can find some decent ones on eBay. But unfortunately, most of them aren’t the best.
@@Grey3IS thank you
Yes. Chrome delete is good, but " grey" is not colour, but colourless. I have an IS F in Vermilion Red with "deletes" & Titanium exhaust tips.
Very interesting!
Hey, did you have any significant issues regarding that Tanso werks CF hood fitment? My drivers side does not sit flush with fender. Looks like my hood is open from that side. I have a decent sized strut bar(HPS),looks like maybe it’s hitting it. It’s much wider and more square than the Megan racing one you have. I guess I’m gonna remove that and go from there…Any info helps. Thanks
Yep, it was the HPS strut bar. That sucks, cause I love the style of this one. Fitment is now, pretty much on point
Hello! The fitment for my hood was pretty spot on. I wouldn’t say it’s 100%, but right about 98%. The strut bar could be hitting it. Mine barely clears it. So, it might be worth removing it temporarily to see if anything changes.
Looks good mate, sounds good as well
I appreciate that!
Sweet ride man! Definitely got a lot of things going on what I want to do to my IS
Thank you my man! 🙌
Tail lights are siiiiiick!
Do they have mods for 2019 IS300? (Not the F-Sport) And where would I look? I’m barely trying to learn about car mods😅
Hey my man! A lot of these mods would fit the non f sport version too🙂. However, eBay is a great place to look. Also, tansowerkz still sells carbon parts for non f sport models. And you can use my code GREY3IS for 10% off anything. Especially the taillights from tansowerkz 😏
hey man i had a quick question. On the top trim of ur window chrome delete i see that right under it there is a gray trim. was there a reason y u didn’t black that out also?
Hey there! On the top trim, there is much thinner chrome trim than on the bottom trim. Directly below that top chrome trim is rubber, kind of like a rubber seal. It is black, not gray. However, with this Texas sun it might have turned it a little bit “lighter black”😄😄. I could have wrapped over that as well to make it more uniform, but wrapping over rubber isn’t the best idea. Doesn’t stick to nicely. I hope this answers your question and makes sense. I appreciate your support.
@@Grey3IS i just noticed that it was rubber that makes sense now. love ur lexus mods btw
@@henry4222 👍👍Thank you my man! I really appreciate that.🧡
Jus copped a 2022 350 fsport awd... 15k miles.. $38k a steal 🎉
Nice! Congratulations.
@@Grey3IS thx brotha. I love it!
Love your car man, thanks for making this video! Question. Do you know what wrap you used for the chrome delete on the windows amd hourglass? I wamna get one that matches the black trim thats in the middle of both windows
Thank you so much! I used vivvid vynal’s premium gloss black vynal for the window trim and roof. But I used tinybot’s piano black for the front grille trim. Tinybot’s piano black is closer to the b-pillar trim’s color, plus their wrap is easier to use in my opinion.
great build bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙂
Hey nice ride quick question about the tansowerkz rcf carbon fiber hood. How does it compare to seibon? Was there any modifications needed to install? And how has it held up over time. Thanks
Hello! No modifications needed to be done to install! Plug and play. And it’s been great. Zero issues. And the fitment is really good too.
Awesome. Thank you
That exhaust is fire!! I have a 17 is300 awd f sport so it comes with the V6. Will that exhaust still work with my car? because I can’t find any valvetronic ones for the v6 only the 2.0
Thank you!! And no, this only gotta the 4 cylinder models. The exhaust setup is completely different for 4 cylinder and V6 engines. I’m sorry armytrix doesn’t make one for the V6 engines. The company valvetronic may make a system or the valvetronic muffler for your car, but I’m not certain.
@@Grey3IS damnnn that sucks man, appreciate it bro. Clean build🔥🔥 def gonna get the wheel spacers
@@umairchaudhry1489 Yeah, it’s unfortunate. But thank you!! I definitely recommend spacers, they do wonders.
Sick build but why not start with a 350?
@@liudizzle I reallllly wanted a car with a turbo. Something about building boost makes me so happy. 🙂
Question bro!!! I got a 2018 fsport 350 and i got the same rear bumper / stock diffuser. How’d you install that afternarket diffuser ? I have the same one and it seems to not fit
So, it technically is not supposed to fit on the non-F sport bumper. But if you line it up how you want it, drill pilot holes, and use “toggle” nuts and bolts (used for drywall) you’ll be perfect. I find they work best in this situation, so you don’t have to remove the plastic underneath the car. You just slide these nuts in and they open up. They hold a lot of weight too (80lbs each), so I used six. I hope this makes sense.
Great vid: where did you find the paint for your paint-matched rear diffuser? Thinking of installing this and a side skirt for my is300 in atomic silver.
Thanks.
Thank you! I found it on a touch-up paint website: touch up direct. They sell our paint in a pen, can, quart, gallon. Whatever amount you need. I used a can, since I don’t have a gun.
@@Grey3IS appreciate that man, thanks!
Your car is an inspiration!
@@3ghrjI3Lnkhs Of course my man! I really appreciate you. 🙏🙏
did u use spacers for only the back wheels or both front and back
Both front and back! 20mm all around.

How did you got the F sport cluster .. I got one but the check engine light turn on when ever I install it
It is OEM for my model of IS.
Where did you get those caliper covers from?
Hello! They’re the OEM calipers, just painted. (I don’t recommend putting covers on your calipers).
for your hood did you have to make modification so it can fit better and put the hydraulics on and for the washer wires?
The hood fits just like the stock one! You just take off the struts and washer lines from the OEM hood and reinstall them onto then new hood.
@@Grey3IS mine didn’t come with the holes for the hydraulics did you make the holes?
@@SwaveyJ19 For real? No spots to put a machine screw in?
@@Grey3IS there’s one spot for a screw but there’s not another hole for the clip to stay in for the hydraulics

awesome video thank you for sharing whenever I see this 3is it reminds me of my previous 3is my 2014 IS250 I miss that car. But I need to mod out my 2019 ES350 do you got any pointers what I should do it
Thank you!! The IS is a great vehicle. For your ES, I’d definitely recommend darker window tint (windshield too if you can) and chrome deleting it. The ES looks stunning as is, but those subtle changes would make it pop!
@@Grey3IS awesome thanks I definitely want to do tint and muffler delete or custom exhaust and I want to put bigger tires and I was thinking of wrapping the top part of my Lexus where the sunroof is at
@@TheLexusIS250Dude Great idea for the roof wrap. That always looks amazing. A muffler delete is great for V6’s! Looking forward to your future with the ES.
@@Grey3IS thanks
Can u show me how to chrome delete and emblem delete ?🙏
For my chrome delete on my emblems, I simply bought gloss black emblem replacements and replace them. You can see how to do that with one of my previous videos, where I explained how to change your emblems🙂. That’s the video I did it in. For the chrome around the windows, it’s going to kind of be hard to show you, but there are some great videos on RUclips about how to do chrome deletes, specifically on a Lexus IS too!
This is probably how I'm gooing to setup my 300 but why didn't you list the updated radio, I feel that made the inside feel way more modern
Awesome! And believe it or not, I don’t have an updated radio. This is the radio/ screen that comes with optional (OEM) Navigation package.

Where is the plate frame from?
It’s from nevercontent.jp
I see you are in texas, are you in the Dallas area? Is there a shop that can install lip kits and do the tune that you know of?
Yes! I am in the Dallas area. I installed all of my lips myself, but I’m sure any reputable body shop could install them for you. Just double check their work afterwards. And the tune I have is installed by M Force remotely. You hop on a call with them and they download your stock file, tune it, then they show you how to redownload it.
Beautiful ride, man -- tastefully done. Wow, love those tail lights, especially. I just picked up a 16' IS300 AWD, and looking to squeeze a little more power from it. 255 HP isn't slow, but I wouldn't mind a little more. What made you want to go with the MForce tune instead of the RR Racing tune?
Thank you! I really appreciate you.
And I totally get what you mean. The main factor that had me choose MForce is that RR Racing didn’t have a tune when I was looking for one for my Lexus 😄. They only came out with it semi-recently. MForce had already been around for a while and I saw how reliable and fun the tune was from other Lexus owners.
@@Grey3IS very nice mods 👍. Which mods on here cannot be done to an IS 350 F sport 2016 sedan?

Hey man, do you know of any catless headers or catless downpipes that work for the is300 3.5L for the MForce pop tune?
Hello! Yes. RR Racing and PPE make some great headers for your engine. And you’d be looking for/at a header (downpipes are for turbo’d engines). 🙂
Great video brother. Wanted to ask where to get the mforce tune done.
Thank you! You customize it to your liking on their website, then they remotely tune it. You evidently just need a laptop, and they will take over/show you how to do everything. They take a copy of your stock tune, then modify the tune, then get back to you in about three days with the modified tune. They then help you download the tune onto your car. I’m sorry if I make it sound complicated, but it is a fairly easy process.
Sorry late to the party...

hey Grey i have a is200t with same a led steering wheel from zencarbonfiber i have installed the actual wheel with all buttons and shifters everything is working fine but i cannot find a way to connect power to the led light i need 12v cannot find anything like that past the clock spring
Hey my man! I totally understand your frustration. I couldn’t figure it out for about 5 months. I’m going to try my best to explain it. If you take off your airbag, there is a bunch of wires coming out of your clock spring from a white connector. There is a bunch of them on the left and a bunch of them on the right, but coming from the same connector. On the left bunch, there is a solid red wire. You might have to cut some of that black wrapping to expose the wires more. But there is only one solid red wire. That’s the one you need to tap into for your 12 V. That 12 V turns on and off with the car. But, that is the power for your backlit steering wheel buttons. So, it will only receive power if you manually turn your headlights stock to DRL or low beams. Other than that, it will only come on automatically at night. But, I kind of like this because I don’t always want my steering wheel LEDs on. Once you connect the red wire coming from the steering wheel to the red wire coming from the clockspring, all you need to do is connect the black wire to the factory ground in the steering wheel. That’s it. You don’t need to mess with the blue wire that comes out of the steering wheel. Once the wires are all done, you just plug the module that he gives you in to your OBD two and it does the rest through Bluetooth. Please feel free to hit me up on Instagram if you have any more questions, I can send you some pictures through there.
Can the spacers fit the 2016 is350?
Yes!
Just need some coilovers and it’s 👌🏼
I’m looking to get bags in the future 👍 But just in case, what coils did you end up going with?
With the mods u have does that mess up the reliability of your car and have u had any issues since u done these mods?
Thankfully no! This car has been extremely reliable for me since I’ve owned it. I’ve had all of these mods on the car for about a year or so also. No issues thus far🙌
Hey man thanks for the tips for mods. I wanna "chrome delete" my 17' is300 f but how much vinyl did you use for yours. I will most likely also get the vinyl from Vvivid.
Hey my man! It depends what you want to delete. I got a 5ftx6ft roll for my window’s chrome and a 5ftx5ft for my front grille chrome. Also, I recommend Tinybot vinyl for doing chrome deletes. Their vinyl is way easier to work with and peels back less over time than vvivid’s.
@@Grey3IS Thanks man! Mad helpful
Awesome car. What brand is your phone holder??
Thank you! In this video I had the Belkin MagSafe vent mount. 🙂
@@Grey3IS Thanks Greg. We're u happy with it?
I just ordered HPS Air intake and turbo resonator. U seemed happy with both
@@arthall1824 Oh yeah! Great choices. It makes a big difference.
Did you notice mpg drop after adding hp?
Nope! Especially after adding a less restrictive exhaust system, my MPG when up.
@@Grey3IS so adding another 100 I should be safe.
Does the F sport have better control arms than the base?
@@arrykaloustiansr173 You should be solid. And I believe they have the same control arms.
Hey boss, will the performance tune mforce work on is350 NA engine?
Yes. I believe they offer a tune for them. 🙂
@@Grey3IS what would ur thoughts be adding a turbo on a NA engine? Thank you for your reply
@@4lAces I think it’s doable, but would require alot of custom fabbing. I’d go with the supercharger route personally 🙂.
@@Grey3IS have any to recommend? Like a link? I’m sorry for all the questions I’m just trying to find where to start
@@4lAces Rotrex and Racing both make a supercharger kit. I don’t know too much about the kits. I’d look into it 🤷♂️
dope car! where did you get the rear window roof visor
Thank you! I got it from eBay, it’s out of stock now unfortunately.
Hello guys popopo beautiful car love it. Can you tell the size of the spacers front and rear please. Have a good day
Thank you. They’re 20mm!
Hey Grey 3IS, dope vid and mods, I have 2016 IS300, I clicked on MForce Tune link, but it took me to the taillights page. Can you please provide the correct link? Thank you very much!
Hey there! Thank you🙏 I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware there was an issue with the link. Here’s the proper link for the MForce tune:
www.mforce.ca/product/lexus-8ar/
I'm also an IS owner (IS250 AWD), love to see other owners with their mods. Had a quick question, I saw you had a strut tower brace, what brand is it and does it fit with the OEM hood? Nice vid, thanks for sharing!
That’s great! I love a fellow IS owner. The strut tower brace is Megan Racing. And yes, it will definitely fit with a stock hood. In my first Mod List video, I put a link for it in the description. I appreciate the support! New video coming out tmr ;)
@@Grey3IS Thanks! Did you notice a change in driving after installing?
Are the spacers 20 mm on both rear and front ?
Yes
Do you have any info on the mforce tune. Seems like a really good mod
It is amazing! Would you like to know anything specific about it? I am planning on making a video about the MForce tune, for my next video.
@@Grey3IS what does it add to it. A good horsepower gain isn’t needed but it would be nice. Does it contribute to all of the pops it’s does. It would seem like a nice mode for my is300
@@305sergii It bumps the horse power and torque a decent amount! It makes it more peppy. You can chose to add the pops and bangs if you’d like. You’re going to need a downpipe regardless with this tune. I absolutely love it.
@@Grey3IS where can I get that down pipe? I know it gotta be catless
@@305sergii I got it from vvivid racing. I linked it in the description🙂! It takes about 3 months to come in though. But armytrix is pretty much the best of the best. I definitely recommend the ceramic coated one.
Thanks for sharing man!!
Thank you for watching! 😁🫶
line for the muffler sistem
It’s linked in the description🙂
50hp gain off just an ecu tune?
Yessir! The turbo I4 engines have a lot of potential when it comes to tuning compared to V6’s.
Thanks for the rev bruh 😎
😄 Of course my man.
For some reason, I don't like the digital speed dometer of the fsport but I do like every other thing it has in fsport. I probably get the 2017 is200t without the fsport. But will carefully mod it
I totally understand. That sounds like a great idea🙌
Hey I was curious about how much the “chrome delete” job costed?
I did it myself! All of the materials cost me about $50. Takes some time and effort, but is totally worth it.
whats the 0-60 on this thing with the tune
I have yet to measure a proper 0-60
@@Grey3IS Fs if you had to guesstemaite do you think its in the 4 second range?
@@oisindonavan4864 I would guess high 4’s - low 5’s.
Hey man I have a question. How long did it take for your exhaust to arrive? I ordered the same armytrix Valve control exhaust two days ago on vividracing, but haven’t gotten the tracking number and ETA yet. Can’t wait 😀
Oh wow!! That’s awesome man. You’ll be the third person ever to have it. Me and my buddy have the only two. Unfortunately it takes a while. They will probably email you soon with a estimated arrival date. It took mine about 4 months to arrive. They make them per order since they aren’t something people order everyday. Keep me updated my man :)
@@Grey3IS Ah I see, that’s a long wait. The associate that helped me with my order said it is in stock and will probably arrive on the next Friday, but I guess that is too good to be true. Anyways, thank you for clarifying.
@@petes3571 Possibly too good to be true. Keep me updated my man. I’m excited for you. It’s a great system
@@Grey3IS Definitely, I am gonna post the cold start clip once I have it installed. I will let you know 🤣
@@petes3571 Awesome!
Mforce Tune...will you do a video when your cats melt and your Engine goes boom!!!
If the time comes, sure😄 but Fr, I’ll do a video about the tune soon. Thank you for your support.
Did you have to do any mod for the tail lights?
They are plug and play! They replace your OEM taillights using the same connectors. It’s fairly simple. You can even use code “GREY3IS” for 10% off of them 👍
@@Grey3IS My man! Good looking out
