Default New GS owner - now with mods and pics!

Hi folks, some of you may recognize my screen name from the LX forum, or Car Chat or Clubhouse or SoCal forums... but I picked up a 2003 Lexus GS300 last week, so you'll see me lurking around here as well... time to start modding!

Nice Blue Marlin Pearl GS I agree that's a classy and rare color.

LOL you guys are gonna kill me... thanks for the very warm welcome into the GS owners club!

chuckb - thanks for identifying the color for me! CarMax had it simply listed as "blue".

(BTW as a side note did you guys know CarMax has a 5 day return policy? You can return a car for any reason and get your money back?!? Amazing... I still can't get my mind around that concept. Like buying a shirt or something. So if I change my mind or if Luxury Motorworks finds something majorly wrong with the vehicle it's going straight back to CarMax.)

On to modding... VIP STYLE BABY!!! LOL Naah, can't do that.... we bought this car as a 3rd car primarily for my in-laws when they visit from overseas for 2-3 months at a time... so I can't go too nuts on it... probably do some basic stuff... wheels definitely have to go... drop it... intake and maybe an exhaust...

NYLexus - whassup bro - had my FX on display at Formula D yesterday... still gonna be my main modding car... got some never seen before stuff up my sleeve... AND turbo or supercharged by end of year I think!
