New Horse to the Nguyen Stable
First off, thanks to Twin Lex for the amazing deal on this vehicle. Many people have been inquiring what the plans and ambitions are for this GS400. Well, my cousin Tom and I have teamed up and purchased this car from Twin Lex out of St. Cloud, Florida. The car was in great shape mechanically and has little work to be done to get her up to par. The paint needs some serious attention but that is all going to be taken care of soon. We have a time frame of 1 year to execute our plans for the car. We are going to make this car a primary street car. I’d like to see the car raised onto springs and shocks since my cousin will be driving it some. He is not the brightest of the bunch and will most likely kill the Wald executive lip kit that came with the car. Note, only the front lip is installed at the time. The K-sport coils will be transferred to my current GS300 for the show aspect as I do baby my car when I drive. We will be adding nitrous, audio, video, a rear lip spoiler, and re-installing the Wald lip kit with the Mac Blick roof spoiler. The paint scheme will be classy and simple. Bentley Black will be the color of choice and it will be on the whole car including the wheels, headlight housings, and tails. Both cars will eventually be show cars. Just one will be more practical and daily driven – GS4 and the other will be a show stopper – hopefully the GS3 with boost! I will definitely keep the progress of this car up to date. As for now this is how the stable sits at the Nguyen Residence. Of course both cars are parked inside. This was just for photo taking reasons.
Thanks again to Twin Lex – No worries man! The car is in good hands! She’ll be up and running in a few months!
The GS4 is on the left and my show GS3 is on the right.
I love how low the GS4 is but it is not practical for my cousin to drive. Therefore I am switching suspensions between the cars.
Check out the difference in the front wheel wells
Imagine this one slammed!
So sleek and clean. A little TLC and this car will be straight pimpin soon enough!
Tucking action
Soon to be tucked!
What a nice sight to see once you leave the front door!
Thanks for looking everyone!

Thanks! I love driving the GS4. It is so much more responsive to the throttle and has a lot more (noticable) power. The mean sounding V8 is so awesome. But once I get the funds and planning done for my turbo set up, there's going to be some stiff competition between these two Lexus Vehicles.

Thanks, that's what the pictures bring out. When you look at the car closely there are a lot of blemishes on the GS4! The wheels need some paint too. But, not to worry. I am basically switching the suspension from one car to the other to achieve that stance on my show car. and the gs4 is for looks. same color combo just sitting higher with a lip kit. just wait for the progress to begin!
