very nicely done car.

house seems real nice.

you're lucky that in FLA housing is so much cheaper than in CT.

That house in FLa is probably $250-$300K, in CT its $700K.

Crazy rise in property values.

Hi Eric
Your car came out really nice. Are you not glad you listened to me and went with the fat tire set up combo 20" Maya wheels. They really fill in the GS wheel gap nicely especially with the right wheel offsets. Great pics!!!
I am also looking forward to picking up my car at the dealer this week after they paint my bumper especially my rear L sportline. One thing I have learned and we both agree on is, its worth paying a little more and having a real professional etc. "Lexus Dealer" to work on your car..........no obligations, or hassles...if its not right you just take it back.......you even get a loaner and you are on your way .

Keep in touch

Al

Dude, my house outside of Tampa, Florida is not that nice and is $350,000.00. That house in Florida is a good $450,000.00 or more unless built in some crappy neighborhood which I don't think is the case.

Indio, I bet the pics do the car no justice man. One my favorite GS colors combined with chrome is white, its just so puurty. the ride looks so "crisp" man, like you just put a boatload of starch on it.

Its time for you to team up with Alsilverbullet for some dayshots, since you guys are twins. Wasnt there another guy named pmatrix or something like that with a white car with Maya's? Al's brother in law I think?

Nice job bro Just for kicks I would like to see this baby slammed lower, I bet it would look even smoother!
Hi D yes PMatrix is my brother in law...........hopefully Indio will bring his car down sometime soon so we can do some Trio shots of matching GS's.

Okay, I knew I wasn't going crazy, I remember someone having a white GS with the exact same mods as yours. Sounds nice, should be a nice photo-shoot.

Actually, Lex was thanked in the first post, sounds like not all the work was done at Lexus as SilverBullet suggests...

I read all... and I mean all... of what everyone posts.

That along with knowing your history of helpfull DIY Lex...

This site has been just great with helping me with all my Mod projects. Lexus may never see a dime of my money and that is fine with me.

My local dealer was going to charge me twice what I paid for speed sensors from Carson and 3+ hours of labor for just taking off the front wheels and a couple of bolts to replace them. I am still pissed I was not more carefull with these when changing my suspension but who would have thought the wires would be so sensitive. I hope it is not something as simple as just loose connections... but the dealer would have just taken care of that when i had it in for a diagnostic wouldn't they, instead of charging me for new sensors.... We shall see... I go in to the shop tomorrow to DIY the replacement.

Is it obvious I don't like dealers?

Ted you should travel more often, property values have jumped every where, a two bedroom townhouse in South Florida will cost you more than $250k, as far as the home in the pic $700k is a close estimate, you must be a propery appraiser in another life.

No doubt that house would be over $500,000 in a South Florida nice neighborhood... Property there is even higher than here in Tampa.
