welcome to CL, it looks like your off to a good start with the wheels, tints, and visors, a DIY chrome grill would be a very nice touch, and i'll be the first to say it, but everybody loves their teins on this site, so you should put some coilovers on it!

Welcome Bill.

For inexpensive, check the 2nd gen GS member classifieds and pick up your mods used to save a bunch of dough. I've done that for some big ticket items (bodykit, hood, supercharger) on my GS.

Second place is to check for group buys if you want new stuff in our Vendor Marketplace.

Thx all for the comments. My first order of business will be my front end suspension and steering. I wrote in another thread before about clunk noises and popping. Fromwhat is sound from some of the threads I have read here I should replace alot of bushings. I have pretty tight steering and from my last visit with Lexus (lower b.J replaced) I would have thought as money hungry as they usually are, they would have suggested other replacement parts. They did not Of all the bushings there are to replace under there can anyone tell me all the kist I will have to buy. It sounds like Daizen is the way to go.
BTW (Chin) I never noticed the camera lens thanks for the laugh! I actually used a scratch remover on the headlamp lenses last week. Maybe I am using the wrong kind?
