You stayed away from the ugly Hamann kit. everyone picks. Man and the rest of the cars are just killer. to your great wheel vendor who takes the time to treat each customer as a friend instead of a quick sale. I cant wait till you open a performance shop ill have to find a way up to the NJ area

So many people told me no the A/C is too plain, not wild enough, I was like oh well, guess Ima plain Jane then! lol
You are still at the top of my "must be insane" list for taking over 1.5 years to mod your GS to perfection, only to part it out 10 minutes after you finished

After what happened here I did it at a good time
Its all good though. There was supposed to be a 3rd gen GS replacing it but stuff happens and priorities in life change. Im just waiting another 2 monthes and then the car modding will begin again.

To put it simply, we got our start with the Lexus community so we will always maintain a Lexus for promotional use.

So yes although a 20k Lexus looks odd next to a 100k MB and a 175k Bentley, you can expect to consistently see that from D2
Also I think its important to demonstrate our competence level across different price ranges. Its the most odd thing but cars like the Bentley actually alienate people because they assume "well they can't do anything for my 15k car since they do 175k cars", so its good to show that D2 can do it all from 20k to 200k and do it well.
In all honesty with the current VIP craze that's gaining steam, that "dated" Lexus gets a VERY fair share of attention and pics at shows! Lol

Dude, that post right there, is signature worthy. So many forget where they come from. It is TOO honorable for you not just to say that but to DO IT. That is INTEGRITY
You got my backing 100%.. Send me some promo items to give out in Atlanta.
