1k is not big baller money for a kit. That is the expected price of a quality product made by a first hand company. There are many jdm kits and they are cost an arm and a leg, could you really get those? I did tons of research over my 3 years as a owner and there are only a handful of kits that are available. The wald is pretty much the only kit I can afford with my budget.
Now back to the knockoff kits, do you really want a kit that resembles ones that people in the 1st gen forums already have. Off the top of my head, I can name 3 people with the admiration kit, be it the admiration style or genuine admiration.
Uniqueness is the main thing I think of when it comes to a body kit. Like how Nyaristo has his veilside front with winn sides and rear.
The veilside kit, there are already 2 people with that kit. EIther way, I am not acting like any elitist or anything because I am not... Yes, I am the second owner of this, but at least I am modding the car the "right" way. As Lexus4jess and I have always stated, don't low ball your car with parts that don't represent what the car is.
It's up to you. I know you have had your kit sitting in your house for over 1 yr, it's either you put it on now, or stop complaining about what you want to do.
Modding is modding, some people put 1k rims on a Lexus and some people like Atsou, Rominl, put 6k rims on their. There reasoning, it's a Lexus not a honda.!
Anyways, I will not beat around the dead dog, too bad the OG member "Manaray" isn't active in posting. I'm sure he would understand what I am talking about.
If your a type of person that likes copies, styles, and knockoff's, get the fake kit. Knockoffs on a Lexus will never even cross my mind. Everyone here most likely purchased their 1st gens under 14k, with lexus4jess spending more for his since he told me. You could of purchased a civic and then have done whatever you want to it via knockoffs and I will support you greatly.

The way I see it, pay 4 times as much for the SAME thing or buy a knock off for a quarter of the price! Not much of a decision really. Especially since personally I think the cyber kit looks hotter than the wald kit anyway
Another thing, eric gs300 also has a cold air intake... Are you saying his intake is ghetto to? Make sure you back up your claims with valid reasoning...I have valid reasoning to back up all my claims.
Leatherseats.com is a Clublexus vendor, go ahead and tell them the seats are fake.. I think they look awesome as do all the CL members who ordered the seats from them

They are the same leather seats you would find in all luxury cars, but have extra leather in certain places where vinyl is compensated with. You like fake stuff bottom line, doesnt bother me.. Heck I bet you have knockoff oem lexus rims with the #7 intead of the (L).

Point is the Injen intake looks like crap, so does any deviation from the stock intake from what I've seen. I know what you did, that's how I know it's a HONDA intake, I KNOW it's the INJEN intake, I KNOW your seats are from leatherseats.com, and I know they're a vendor, but thanks for all the refreshers! if you want to think that the seats look as good as stock than that's great, but they're NOT "luxery" leather seats "BUB". I wasn't "flaming" you, but you were talking like you think there's a problem with knock off kits, I was just reminding you that your whole car isn't exactly top of the line!
All my claims are backed by "REASONING", if you're referring to analysis or interpretation...I believe those are valid synonyms, and YES, that's the way I see it.
Here's my "knock off" OEM Lexus rims

Shoaf, you may have not been around CL long enough to absorb the sense of community we try to foster , but the manner you've gone about stating your 'reasoning' is not welcome here.
Bryan's comments (his opinion) were not aimed at you, but your response immediately made it personal. There are ways to express your opinions without insulting other members even if you disagree with them.... this is the second time I've had to ask that of you.
By the way, I also have a set of those 'luxery' seats on the way for my GS too. I've seen these in person and they're every bit as nice as OEM IMO... a lot better than the seven year old alternative that's on the car right now. I personally don't care if somebody doesn't like them (including you) as long as I do. My opinion and my *** sitting on them, not yours.
Any response to this post please send me in PM, let's get this thread back on track.

Whaa? Any leather seating surface is luxury. They don't make them 100% leather because they are made for cars. Would you leave a leather jacket sitting in your back window and expect it to look nice in a year?
I can't freaking wait to replace my leather - plus it's probably a "mod" that actually increases the value of the car - unlike rims or a CAI.

Sorry for the problems we have caused. Bottom line is, if you do a search under google, there are alot of kits for the 1st gen gs. Don't worry about my opinion, like Davegs4 stated earlier, it's just an opinion. If you see something you like, factor in the cost of making it fit since a lot of online kits do not fit perfectly. As long as you like what you are getting, it's all that matters.
www.erebuni.net offers a very nice kit that resembles the winn racing kit, but it still costs 800.00.
The real win racing kit is over 3500, and that is seriously alot of money.

Front driver door Weather Stripping
Hey guys,
This is the closest forum I could find talking about the exteriors of the car. I own a 1994 GS300 and my front driver side door weatherstripping i.e the whole black frame is coming off my door. Do any of you guys know were I can pick one of these up, and if so is it easy to put on?
Thanks alot guys
Geno

OK, I stand corrected, I ordered a knock-off, cyber kit, and the body shop sent it back saying it was the worst kit they've ever seen. SO, here I sit with the STOCK kit painted and NO IDEA where to get a GOOD KIT that I like. Any suggestions.
I like the Cyber, or Admire STYLE, but can't find AUTHENTIC kits
