suspension (megan LP) been riding on it for almost a year and still no problems



bought some 350z wheels, took off the tint, jdm hid headlights and fog nothing much



thats how it looked 1 1/2 week ago, then i got to a little accident to i said **** it this gave me a reason to do my whole car over. so for the past week this is how it sits





sanded down the bumpers and got good condition used rear bumper



sanded and took everything out the doors, window, trim, handles, etc



gunna polish out the window trims



wanted to see how the paint gunna turn out, and im pretty happy with it



thats i for now ill update this later tonight.
I have a 94 lexus gs300 and I was curious to know If all 1st gen gs's have removable lower panels like the one in the pic thats stripped.

haha yup no booth, we just move it to the other room and close the garage then blast this heater we have that uses diesel gas.
