Default Upgraded the GS430 a little bit....

I've had the car for about two months now and I haven't wasted much time. I have a lot more planned for the car, but here is what I have completed thus far. I want to install a front lip and get a roof spoiler put on asap.

Just installed a Borla rear section. I put a K&N drop in also but no need to look at that.





Installed PIAA Ion Yellow city lights, as well has Lumincs JDM Yellow highbeams:





I smoked out the amber and clear on the tail lights. I also smoked out the amber side markers.





Money Shot after a couple hours of love:





Then I caught this beast....22lbs

Nice cat. How long did it take to land it? I hope you didn't stuff it in the trunk on the way home.

They are PIAA Ion Yellow - 194 bulbs

The left one is easy to install....the right one requires some work. Make sure you car has cooled down before you decide to stuff your hand down there.

What the Borla rear section? The lift isn't mine...I just took it to a shop to get it done.

I got the rear section for 580.00.

I have a pond/lake on my property...so anything big like that I catch, I throw back so I can catch them again. I have pulled out 30lb + cats out of there as well as 10lb 2oz large mouth last year.

Thanks for the positive comments
