A new set of wheels will make the car. Put these at the top of your list. Those dish things have got to go.

I like your car alot!! Who did your headlights??? For your rims, you could just unscrew the round center pieces and sport the five stars underneath!

1. add a lexus badge to the back
2. redo the chrome trim and add some on the front and back and possibly chrome door handles/trunk bar
3. audio/video
4. mb blinker mirrors
5. srt intake/exhaust system
6. 19/20in staggered rims, probally those 1 piece from d2

i hope to get a good payin job which is hard for me cause of school and age
but i think i can get 1-2 done soon and possibly 3 before summer and durin summer ill probally work on getting rims, so what do you guys think of the plan so far?

any suggestions?
The car is hot, but SC430 wheels on a GS? Get a nice staggered set up when the dollars roll in.

Awesome color and loving those Q45 headlight and foglight mods

Since everyone was too shy to lend their advice, I'll be the first and say that you're going to need rims, right???

No pressure, ok, especially when bluelex and TLW are leading the way for the blue spectra mica family

Pretty nice place to start...

Needs lowering, wheels, and chrome bumper strips. Otherwise, the car is done!

hey man, cars looking good. definitely go for a set of rims when you can...quick question though...whats up with the angel eyes in the headlights..do all gs angel eyes not make a full circle around? it looks kinda strange that it doesnt meet/light up all the way around..maybe its got somethin to do with the fitting in of the retro kit... anyways

I hate to see sc430 rims on GS
I had them one time on my 95 SC and they weren't that bad...

Anyway, for sure to get some nice rims!! It will be night and day difference!!!

Had a good Chinese New Year??? Use the money to get rims!

hello fellow young member

the car is looking great...

i'd say trade those sc430 rims for a pair of factory GS or IS ones and get a drop first...

before anything else, i'd say the drop is most important... the car looks like an SUV

but i'm loving the q45 and the angel eyes.... great color too...

better than silver... oh i don't think so...

Put up a post in the wheels classifieds to see if someone is willing to do a swap.

************, i was on the outskirt of the highway at night and i couldnt see anythin in the road, i look in my mirrors and swithc lanes and then a sudden jolt im like holy ****, wtf was that, then i get to the restraunt, talk to my cousin, get my to go, i do a quick check on the left tire and its fine and then i found a ****in crack in my bodykit, damn this just ruined my day and probally my week, i think my car sits a lil too low, i think ima upgrade to 19s,20s possible next month or even sooner cause my whole front end is scratched and its gettin me so angry, the bumps dont cause it, i always try to pull out at an angle and sometimes it works, sometimes it dont, but it was somethin in the road or a rock hit it, damnnnnnnn



okay is there anyway to fix that crack?
or should i even bother fixing it?

and if i get bigger rims my car will sit a lil higher right? my cousin said airbag it but thats way too much money

i was thinkin maybe these



man im so mad right now, im gonna go work out
