as always, car looks SUPER DUPER HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and you wanted to trade it in.... )

[GOLDMEMBER VOICE] GS HATER!!!!! [/GOLDMEMBER VOICE]

lets see what d-man did-

1) JDM chrome door handles

2) HID fog kit

3) a nice long car wash


what I wanna know is, how long it STAYED that clean seeing how nasty dirty our streets of NY area.....

btw d-man you must not daily drive her because I can't see you keepin them big rims when all I see are opened up potholes from all the salt and snow we've been seein recently...


(side note-I hope you realize we are slated to get 10" of snow tomorrow )

Hey thanks all for your compliments, appreciate it !

stage3, I painted the grill glossy black with the emblem painted the same color.. I was thinking of doing the pearl emblem but decided to have the whole grill the same color.

3dog, it is the L-sportline model 1's.. I will attach to this post a better shot of the rear wheels.

lsportgs4, yeah for some reason I like the rear tucking a bit more.. though it does look a little too low..

lexusk8, hey doug, whats up my friend ! Yep you got it right... Installed the philips 4300k in the fogs.. I wanted maximum light output so I chose the 4300k instead of 6000k.. Hope to see u soon at the bbq my friend!

RNM, hey how have you been man? I haven't seen you post in awhile.. Yeah it is the JP wing, I got it awhile ago from junctiongs.. I hope to see u at the bbq.

nt2shbby, So far u got 2 out of the 3 'subtle' mods I put on... last one is the jp roof antenna.. hehhe maybe that is tooo 'subtle' lol. I don't drive the car at all during the winter.. The salt on the streets absolutely destroys a car.


Here is a closeup of the rear wheel..



Here is another angle shot of the chrome door handles.. At first I wasn't sure if this would look good on my car.. I didn't want to have TOO much chrome on the car, but after I put these on, it freshens up the car.. Very solid high quality piece.


Here is the too subtle to notice JP roof antenna, definately adds a nice touch to the car.



Lastly, I finally extended out my HKS exhaust from the cutout.. It was sitting too inset.. Also , had to do some more tweaking to push the exhaust higher in the cutout.. HKS designed the exhaust to hang lower than any other aftermarket exhaust that I have seen. Now it fits nice and snug in the cutout.

The side pics make the rear look really low.. But it looks even w/ the front on the angled shot. Nice slam overall.

I love thoes L sportlines on the GS..

Maybe he meant the outer rim of the grille?

I think the rear can be rasied a bit too, especially since the front is not slammed.

Looks good otherwise.
