Well guys since everyone else basically has a build thread.. Why not join'em amirite? ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
First i'd like to reintroduce myself (basically for laughs).. I'm sure all of you will remember me. I bought my 98 GS300 last summer as my first car and have been nothing but happy with it; for those of you that want a good laugh and for those of you that did NOT see my car when I first got her.. Here she is..

The previous owner had put 22's on the car and a lift kit.. Of course this was a no-no to me so I had to take these off asap..
I had no extra money, so I just did an even trade and got some stock LS rims and tires.

At the moment I didn't care about getting any sort of money for the 22's. I just wanted them off, so I did.
I then was not happy with the light output I had and since my car is not HID equipped I went with some Silverstar Ultras to upgrade.

A couple months later I scooped up a set of stock 05 GS rims from a friend..
Off with the old..

lol ok. car looks much better now those zone wheels are going to look *******!
And that's forsure. I was so happy to get them that I almost just went and got them thrown on without a drop, but then again I didn't wanna look like a 4x4 so I decided to wait until I get my coils then put them on at the same time or a bit after, lol.

I do plan on going more FIGS though, Brian. If I didn't already buy some tie rods I would have gone with his also, but he didn't have them out when I replaced mine.

Thanks though man. I was lucky to get those actually. Very lucky I might say..
As far as future plans go.. I just really want an elegant looking GS, you know? Kind of like Wringo's. Simple, but sick and sexy at the same time, so he's my main inspiration at the moment. I do not plan on doing and engine swaps though or turbos.. Will more than likely just get intake to pump the horsepower a bit. My seats are disgusting though, so i'm going to more than likely get some nice seat covers to make them look good again. Decent system in the trunk and then maybe a few more interior miscellaneous items to complete the interior. Oh and of course I would like an 01+ Sports Grille. Love those.. So i've got some plans ahead of me. Nothing to major though.

Maybe it's the way that the pictures were taken, but everything was taken off in terms of the lift kit.
