Default Finally pics of my GS!

Here it is! I wanted to mod it a little bit before I posted pics. I got it about aug-sept of 05 at Bent Tree imports in Addison, it had 33,XXX miles on it and the first mod tint which is 35% all the way around and then a TTE lip I got it for $250 when it was on sale on the lexus website. Next I got the rims which are Jaz Trinity wheels 20x8.5F and 20x9.5R and the tires are Toyo Proxes, the last thing I got was yellow fogs nowI want the HIDs. I also have a LS430 woodgrain shift **** and the white LED license plate lights (Love the way it looks on the 06 GS). The next mod I want to do is lower it and maybe a blackwood kit, I'm not trying to get too carried away with mods but one thing I would love to get is the JP tails, damn I love those!!! Well here are the pics, hope you enjoy. AlsoI posted a thread about the alignment, I noticed my front tire tread was facing the wrong direction and I swapped the tires so the tread points in the right direction, now the car pulls to the right. It pulled to the left before and now the steering wheel shakes. I think it might be the left wheel being out of balance, what do you think?
Here it was before.

and here it is now!




Damn I love that fender gap, not really

yeah bro, cars looking good..did you have the tte painted for the extra 100 they were offering? if so hows that color match look in person? also, wheels are looking good, cant believe theyre 20s! its gotta be the lack of drop thats making them look so small.. i can definitely recommend the l tuned spring shock combo, the drop is nice and the ride quality is still great, you should go for it!....what offsets are your wheels and what tire sizes are you running? the axis milano 20s i just got are the same exact sizes as yours, with 35mm offset up front, and 40mm offset up front...im sure youre not having any issues with rubbing or anything because youre still at stock height, but im curious anyway.
