take it easy fellas. lets not make any assumptions here. constructive criticism only. it would be a shame to have this thread closed on the debut thread of that beautiful 400.

I think the GS4 is smokin hot. Color, drop, kit, wheels... to me, I'd repaint that and make it the show car. The GS3 is nice but just not my style. I like some aspects of it and can appreciate the work you have done, just looks too DUB to me. Congrats tho!

Guys, comments like this do nothing to add to our Club Lexus community. Exit this thread please if you're going to attack someone's character. If you don't like his car and he asks for comments feel free to say so. But do it politely and maturely...

I've met CarbonGS in person several times and he is absolutely nothing like you're insinuating here. Nothing like it.

Tony, beautiful new ride congrats.

Back on topic please. That being said, did you ask the original owner how much those K-sports cost? I heard the build quality is not good (bushings tearing, squeaks, easily blowned shocks, etc.). Good job on the buy.

so the gs4 has a wald body kit? or is that just a front lip? Also what rims are on it?

I like how it sits on those rims and that front lip. Nice.

i'm going to continue to research the k-sports. my intention is to ultimately get some sort of air ride on the GS3. thanks to everyone for turning this thread around. i'l see if I can get some up close pics of the GS4 to show u how badly it needs paint. the car is flawless other than paint.

Stay humble, keep modding and maybe one day you'll get a full feature article in a real magazine and some 6 ft trophies from more "elite" shows....do what you do man....and keep it up
thanks, that is some of the best advice i've heard in a while! i appreciate the pointers alot!

well, it realy comes down to wheels size as well, so GL.
thanks! i think it'll really depend on who elite can get to sponsor us for next year. then i will change it up with the different sizing. as for now i still have a set of dunlops i can order. i am going to do more research before i make my decision. thanks to the club lexus search button, it makes things really easy.

hey i appreciate it. but the gs4 will ultimately become my cousin's car. he won't be showing it much so we figured we make it more drivable for him and keep it clean and classy. i can see the DUB-esque you speak of. hopefully that will all change soon.

thanks. i am working on it some today. CEL popped on but i am almost sure it is the K&N FIPK intake system. i want to make sure it'll pass emissions before i go to the tag office. thank goodness the stock intake came with the car. i will prob put that back on until we get all the paperwork taken care of.
