Now I'm not usually a fan of the whole Hellaflush stuff, but that is absolutely gorgeous

Are those LS460 tips retrofit in to the A-Spec / Type S bumper, or was there bodywork involved? Looks great!

Thanks Everyone... I'm just trying to bring out the potential of the TL... With my style mixed with VIP , since I love the VIP style of modding...

I appreciate the support from all you guys...

The LS460 muffler tips where custom retrofited by a bodyshop... It's a whole lot of work... Bodyshop used to call me and curse me out, but once he executed them he didn't want to deliver the car. He wanted to keep it ... The tips themselves had to be cut up and customized ... Then they were welded to the mufflers... They are 100% functional and I could remove the rear bumper like factory... Not even the Lexus LS460 has them connected to the muffler system (they are just Aesthetic bumper covers)...

Thanks Again Guys...

These tips flow so well on the TL, mainly because of the fact that the new LS's has a squarish rear like the TL. It's a very nice mod rodney, and i am dying to get my hands on them...

I just don't know which body shop around here that wouldn't cuss me out to do it. LOL.

Damn i did not know that LS460 mufflers were purely aesthetics like the IS-F. Wow i am impressed that you made it functional not just aesthetics.

Featured is better than approved, featured means you were featured and approved. Whereas you can just be approved but not featured. Anyways Faiz was featured twice so thats pretty damn good considering nobody else on here even got featured until rodney just recently.

There are quite a few people here that probably could be approved and few other that can be featured, but you need to submit your car and let others vote on it. So with that said i dont know of anyone else that submitted their cars besides Faiz and Rodney.

lol depends on who puts it up, some are too lazy to put the logo on, others take there time and do it lol. Either way, all cars posted on the hellaflush site are approved obviously haha

Seems like the TL is brewing up the age old question.... Can a FWD , no matter the stance, be considered VIP Style???
