i personally hate the styling of heavy shinney 32 inch wheels all 4x4'ish on a luxury car. But to each his own.

First off, welcome to the Club.

What's up with all the "tuners" is the amazing performance potential of the GS300. The engine and drivetrain is derived from the same lineage as the Toyota Supra. It is possible to have twice the factory hosepower with out breaking a sweat and still flex VIP style.

I would assume when you say "tuners" you are talking about exhaust systems and 17" or 18" rims that are much more usable and functional than throwing on 100 pounds of chrome on each corner of the car and slowing the thing down.

It is possible to have the best of both worlds..looks and performance.. If you get a chance, check out NYAristos ride since he is in your area.

And then there are the very few of us that have gone even further.. I have the power, the VIP kit.. but yet I turned my GS into a fully tracked race car. Not something you see everyday, and that is the way I like it.

The most important thing is, the GS300 is not a "luxury car", it's not a "sports car", it's not a "DUBs car".. it is "MY" car. Good luck in your modification and I hope it turns out to be exactly what you want. Take some time and look around though, maybe you'll actually be impressed after all.

My car is VIP (even though it's stock) cuz I like to visualize what I'm going to do.

1994 GS300-T VIP, has a nice ring to it aye?

Whats EXE ? I actually do see my car as a tuner car, with class. Ill be carrying all my wife and all my buddys girls in my car, in comfort while they are sitting in a gutted mustang that smells like gas and exhaust fumes.

EDIT: do you have pix of your katskinz interior thats in your sig ?
