Default L-Tuned Package

So I have been looking for GS 430's for about 2 months now and I recently found a 2001 GS 430 Silver with Black Interior with the L-Tuned Package. What all does this option include and can I get any pics of one with this package on it?

AU,

It depends what 'package' they're talking about. Could be just the suspension, could be the exhaust, could be the aero kit.

Lots of pics, try search for 'l-tuned' in this forum and you'll find a bunch.

Some I found pretty quickly

Here's a pic of the typical 'L-tuned' GS with the full package (Aero kit consisting of grill and sideskirts, wheels, exhaust, suspension)

From a datasheet I kept:

L-Tuned's Series 1 Package is comprised of a body kit, one of three wheel/tire combinations and special L-Tuned badging. The body kit, made of durable polyurethane, includes side skirts and a unique body-color grille surrounded with a laser-cut mesh insert.

The Series 2 Package includes the Series 1 components plus performance shocks and springs, a re-calibrated steering ECU and stainless steel mufflers with polished tips for a sportier look.

With each package, GS 300/400 owners will have the choice of three different wheel and Z-rated tire combinations:

* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/45Z)
* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin XGTZ4 All-Weather Tires (235/45Z)
* 18" x 8" (front), 18" x 9.5" (rear) OZ Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/40Z, front and 265/35Z, rear)
I am not sure what level the car in question is at.

I think Chuck was answering that if you buy the kit, it does not come with the badges. As for the car, it probably does but we won't know unless the owner responds.

Yea but couldn't any decent sticker shop re-make them for you? If you want them that bad, I know they bring in a pretty penny on E-bay and in the classifieds when you can find them.

Full L-tuned

Its nice to have if you dont plan on moding much but as you keep moding you will mod over it. L-tuned is a very mild mod type of package.
