Default Intro / Pics ... My GS430

I have been here awhile now, but finally got the car back from some work to bring it about 90% complete. I am not planning on doing a lot with the car, just basics for the most part.

Springs
Rims
Tint
TTE Lip Spoiler
and a few other minor effects

sorry, the pics suck, but I'll be taking more soon with some socal scenery and my girlfriend behind the camera...

This is in front of the Oakley building about 2 minutes from my house. I'll take some better shots here soon.

You're off to a good start on the car
Welcome to the club. Only problem is that if you hang out here too much, you're wallet is going get thin really fast

Looks good with nice upgrades. Next round of pics include a closer shot of that chrome grill. Was it DIY or purchased?

Chrome grill is DIY, the orange kleen stripper stuff in the aerosol can. It's about 95% with some detail work needed
