EV ftw!!!
Absolutely awesome and classy looking! This is modding in its true essence - done properly. Excellent choice in all the mods and you no doubt have great taste for a 19 year old!
Did you get your front bumper through Steve? It looks very nice as is. It does not need the fogs, even though I would miss my fogs if I had that bumper.
Stock exhaust??? Wow! How much did that run you? It looks perfect the way you have the size of the tips and the fitment in the bumper!
Keep up the good work!! What's next on the mod list?

Hey guys,
You know how this goes. I have finally finished with my costmetic (for now) modifications on my 1998 Black Onyx GS 300. I remember like it was yesterday that I received the delivery of the most stunning car I ever laid eyes on (I'm 19, but you get the picture). The story doesn't begin there though...
The story begins waaaay back into the summer of 2002 when I stumbled upon Club Lexus while looking for modifications and some pointers on what to do on my 1993 SC 400. I slowly began to learn little things here and there about such things as turbocharging and supercharging and what an offset actually was on a vehicle. One most understand that before I was able to drive, I had no interest in cars and was comparable to a young girl who just thought whatever looked nice got the

) After about two months of browing, I finally began to post and help others out as I had found help from many of the people featured on this wonderful place. (I won't begin to mention names because I will surely leave someone out, as Neo has said, and those who did help me or have engaged with me know who they are).
Unfortunately, the joy of my 1993 SC 400 didn't last long and before I knew it I had made the critical and life-altering mistake of completely demolishing the beauty in a high speed collision. I was stupid and paid for it. It was then 86 days before I was to ever drive a Lexus again.
During this time I thought a lot about things and swore to myself never to do anything so stupid again. While this was going on, I continued to browse CL and determine the GS would be my next joy; of which I would extensively pamper. Then, upon the Christmas of 2002, the magical experience all began and the car I call my baby today arrived. The stock 16's and the stock suspension were something I never thought I would change and just enjoyed the fact that I was driving a Lexus!
Shortly after, the mod bug hit home. It all started with something as simple as the L-Tuned Grill and a custom exhaust. I thought I was done and was happy to have my own unique piece added to my car. And then one thing led to another and before I knew it, I was left with A 1998 Lexus GS 300 with:
-L-Tuned Side Skirts and Grill
-Custom Exhaust
-Veilside Rear Bumper
-Greddy Front Lip replaced by TOM's Front Bumper
-Junction Produce Roof Spoiler
-OEM Spoiler
-6000K Phillips HID Kit
-18" Work Termist TM1 replaced by 19" IForged Flux with Bridgestone Potenza SO3
-Boston Pro Series, JL Audio, and Alpine Sound System
And many more side things that I only could of done with the many helpings of the fellow members on this board. I want to give a huge thank you to all of you because you have all, in one way or another, touched a part of my car-life and some even in my real-life. Thank you again and enjoy what pictures I was able to take before the rain inhabited again. In another week or two I plan to post some REAL pictures after I am able to wax the car once the pain sets in.
**Note: I have also included some night pictures I took at a park before it decided to get dark on me quickly. I tried getting good pics but the rain came the moment I shut off the camera so take it easy on me.

I forget his name and I'm very sorry but he doesn't frequent CL very often and he wasn't using it because he had ideas for a different kit so I got an awesome deal on it.Stock Exhaust... No No
It is just a custom job a local shop did. Once I got the veilside kit, they took off the tips I had.. sanded them up with the steel cutter to match the shape of the back bumper and added an extension to the muffler so the tip would fit perfectly.Next Mod... Well, I was looking into a big brake kit, but we'll see
