WOW!!! How Time Flies... Before & After...!
Seems like yesterday..... When I picked up my:
2003 Chrome Silver Performance 350Z.
Nearly 3 years and several $grand later... She's still running strong (stronger!) and looking more stunning than ever...
Let's see those "Before & After / Now & Then" pics of your ride.
Here's mine before....
(I'd post the GS, but the change was not nearly as drastic!)

As far as engine/performance mods... JWT Intake, BORLA dual-exhaust, & MPR Grounding Kit (I'm having some engine parts painted as you read this, preparing for a Car Show) all good for @ 35 rwhp! So needless to say, it's considerably stronger than stock. And of course suspension & brake upgrades as well.

Thanks guys! I have to agree with you (if I had a Z or not) they both sound awesome! They have a distinct tone that is all their own. Nissan/Infiniti did a hella job on the exhaust note. But I can't even tell you just how incredible my setup with the intake & borlas sound like @ 60mph in 3rd and punching it........
My buddies who have ran with me on the highway kept telling me how insane my car sounded. Finally I had to trail my car with another driver... STUNNING to say the least.
Definately pimp. I thought you were going to sell it though?
sweet looking car TXSTYLE....btw...you owe me a 10sec car... ahhaahahah
Now then... Dave and all you guys with these modded Lexus'..... Where's your before & after pics?

My GS when I bought it had no spoiler, 16" wheels and a tan (yes, tan) pinstripe. A few months later I'd moved to 17"OEM wheels, added the spoiler and stripped of the pinstripe. I made the inaugural trip to SRT in early 2000 for a bunch of mods all at once: Intake/ECU, Borla Exhaust, PI torque converter and Borla/Eibach suspension. As soon as the L-tuned stuff came out, I bought (I think the first one sold) from Carson. These pics are after all that stuff was installed.
2001
In 2003, the mod disease really spread badly, so it deseves a pit stop in pictures. I also learned how to detail my car better
Late 2004. Also new camera, better pictures
