From 90K(GS3) to XXK with the new ride?

Congrats on the new ride. I think you'll be very happy with the V8. I know I'm talking about two completely different animals here, but the wife's RX's 6 cylinder just wouldn't cut it for me. I would think the 300 6 in the GS would be comparable to it, and the difference is night and day.

Wow that looks great! Congrats on the new purchase. I'm sorta fighting myself right now between an IS350 and a GS430... sorta like the V8 rumble. Great place to take the pics as well

I'm picking up some Eibach springs on Wed. I'll post some more pictures once it's lowered.
I already migrated some mods from the 300 over to the 430. Reinstalled my XM radio in the ashtray, front clear sidemarkers and re-installed my Motorola HF850 Bluetooth kit. I got the bluetooth kit wired to mute the factory stereo and the audio is sent to the rear driver-side speaker. Works awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-free Bluetooth kit. People on the other end say they can't even tell I'm on speakerphone.
