I had that stuff on my old Acura on the hood bumper and front fenders. It did a great job and when I pealed it off 7 years later, the paint looked factory new. I wanted to do that on the GX but it was really expensive to have done and looked hard to do yourself. Headlights sound doable.
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods much easier than vinyl since you slide it around with a wet soapy solution, and tack it down with an alcohol solution. And even if you mess up, it’s clear!
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods from my experience doing 4 cars, the 2010-2013 GX460 looks pretty easy too. Start in the middle and stretch it out til you hit the fender. Then squeegee away. I have a 2021 Sienna XSE, way too many curves and peaks for me to try and most of it is grill. My tips. Have 64oz of bubble solution (6 drops of soap and distilled water) so you don’t run out mid application. Do it on a cool day, I made the mistake of doing it in summer and it evaporated the sliding solution. And you can adjust and spray soapy solution almost unlimited times. The adhesive is fine. Good luck and like Béla Károlyi said…YOU CAN DO ITTTTT
Wish they would give the option to have the big LEXUS text removed and instead, have it more like the F sport grill with the icon. Looks good, thanks for uploading the sweet content. Love these vids on the 10-13
It looks like Garage Alpha now has Garage Alpha Off-Road and the affiliate link in the bio is out dated. Is there a new one so I can make sure you get the kickback/support?
I don’t get a commission from them so don’t let that slow you down. But the note and thought is much appreciated. I’ll ping them for the new link and get it updated when I get a sec. Thx!
I couldn't find it in your other videos, but were the handles once chrome as well? If so how did you turn them black, and did you maintain the keyless entry?
Where in the PHX area did you find a drive through carwash that could accommodate the hight and the rack? The ones I've gone to so far have all turned me away.
What do you suggest? I replaced my wife’s third GEN headlights with some fancy projector housings I built… But the GX factory headlights are pretty dang fancy. Are there better options?
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods I just wish they were darker. They may be my first BHLM. I've owned about a dozen Toyotas over the last 20 years and I've seen them and read about them, just never did it. My Knight's Armor Pearl GX is getting picked up on Friday. Can't wait!
Well, what is your thought about the grill now that you've had it awhile? I'm considering it and would love to know what you think after a number of months.
I actually like it more now. I thought I would go back to the stock grill sometime but doubt it now. The new Toyotas and Lexi use characters instead of the badge logo so I think it freshened it up and alpha Did a great job on it. It’s holding up well.
Don't think it's an option for the mid-refresh '14-19s... wasn't a few weeks ago, but I'm chasing that or the spindle-style pop-in parts for my otherwise gorgeous '14.
I like it! I didn’t think it would look quite right because of the gx’s soft body lines but I changed my mind after a day or two and plan to keep it at least for a while.
I didn't think I'd like the new grill but it's really grown on me. I put the OEM grill in the attic in case I change my mind : ) I used plasti and did about 10-12 coats with good prep. I did the 'L' emblem too but it split open after about a year and I peeled it off. If I were doing it again I'd use bed liner paint to make it perm.
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods Couldn't find him. If you come across him, please let him know that I left several messages through Garage Alpha. I really want to purchase that grille! Thank you in advance:)
Just got a GX460 in part from seeing its capability stock showcased on your channel! Since I’m already looking to mod it, what lift do you have on yours? Have you had issues?
Awesome! Yeah, sorry, my lift video is taking forever because I've been working with the sponsor to make sure I get some technical stuff correct. It will hopefully be the next video. We went with IronMan FCP. I love the performance for the price. We did have a few minor issues which I'll cover in detail the video.
Amazing instructional video. Just completed my install in about 20 min, thanks to your guidance. Keep making awesome content…!
Grill looks great
Pre-cut paint protection film on the headlights keep it from yellowing again and gives you added impact protection

Great video! I love your video style and the GX is looking Saweet.
Thanks buddy! Love you LX. Subbed.
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods Ah thanks! Much appreciated!
GA is supposed to be coming out with one for the LX470, can't wait to get it installed!
I think the 470 version is already shipping too…
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods i saw the gx470, but not lx470, did I miss it?
@@philipjcaputo Ah, Im sorry. I thought you were talking about the GX470. No idea on the LX.
@@philipjcaputo I was told that the LX470 grille won’t ship for a month.
Just got my grill in. I’m the furthest thing from a wiring expert so I’m excited to see a video if you wire up those raptor lights!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Probably 2-3 videos from now on the raptor light install.
Any update on the wiring tutorial? I’m not sure if I should wire to the driving lights or headlights.
Wow.. love your rig look. I just ordered one. Hahah
Does anyone know how to get one of these grills. It seems garage alpha is sold out and I’m not sure where else to look
found mine on ebay
We have this grill and I love it.

That could be cool.
Love your vids bud!
agreed 👍🏽
Love making them for you guys!
Nice job. Looks great!
Man looks great!
When are you planning on releasing a video about the raptor lights ?
Not sure. Way behind at the moment. Its at least a couple down the list.

Vinyl.
Where in the PHX area did you find a drive through carwash that could accommodate the hight and the rack? The ones I've gone to so far have all turned me away.
That was a Full Circle Auto Wash I believe and they're all over the valley. They drive it through so maybe that's why?
Need some more info on the window trims, please!! Where did you buy it? Have a link??
garagealpha.com/collections/offroad/products/lexus-gx460-black-window-trim
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods I noticed that they only sell 2 pieces of trim per side? What did you do about the 3rd chrome strips on the 3rd row windows??
I plasti-dipped mine.
What did you use for the grill? Paint or plasti dip?
Any plans for the factory headlights??

Nice. How are you liking the new grill so far? Are you happy??
I like it! I didn’t think it would look quite right because of the gx’s soft body lines but I changed my mind after a day or two and plan to keep it at least for a while.
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods sweet! 😋
I like the look of your original grill just black with the chrome Lexus Emblem. Did you spray paint it or Plasti-Dip?
I didn't think I'd like the new grill but it's really grown on me. I put the OEM grill in the attic in case I change my mind : ) I used plasti and did about 10-12 coats with good prep.

Trying to purchase one of these for my 2010 gx460 but no response from the seller. Any idea what is going on? Are they still in business?
Sorry to hear. Try searching on iH8MUD. Matt who owns the place is active there.
@@WastingTimeInTheWoods Couldn't find him. If you come across him, please let him know that I left several messages through Garage Alpha. I really want to purchase that grille! Thank you in advance:)
I just bought one like 4 days ago and it's already at my house, they are still around.

VERY capable stock is an understatement! You'll LOVE your GX460!
Great!! If the kids and wife criticize then it means you reached perfection ;)
You speak the truth! 😆
