You're moving quickly on your mods and quite impressively I may add. I'm sure it won't be long.

I've been working on my car for 7 years now and I still haven't got my ICE up to par yet.

Stay Tuned for next year though.

Yes, special thanks to you for that.


Paul, the driver of the hauler was surprisingly cool. He mentioned all the cars he's been hauling around this year. and it sounds like he has a pretty cool job.

He's going to call me once he arrives in Vegas to tell me what Hall location my car will be displayed.

How cool is that for him to do that for me?

Default What an honor!

That is just awesome! What a write up and great pictures to go along with it. Your attention to detail has alway's inspired me to do a little more in detail to my car and your hard work is now paying off. Many members dream of having that magazine centerfold layout, but this would be the ultimate for me! Having your car hand selected to be viewed by millions at one of the largest car shows in the world is definitely an honor to be proud about!You are deserving of it all! Welcome to the "Good Life"!




Seeing that Toyota truck pull up to your front door must have really been exciting?(Priceless) Any pic's of that? Your car is a rolling masterpiece! Keep up the great work! Don't forget that we love pic's when you visit the show(SEMA)! Send me your leftover sponsor offers!

congrats! SEMA is definately an honorable show to be at. The best of the best in the industry are represented there. I think Gsracery is taking his GS there for a second year as well.

Thanks Wringo for all the kind words.

Besides modding two Lexus for 7 years, I have met a ton of people and made a lot of friends, especially because I organized and headed all the EOS meets up until last year. I've come to meet a lot of Lexus corporate folks over that time, so they know me.

I'm sure that didn't hurt when it came time to them looking for cars to rep Lexus at SEMA.

I'll try to update this thread as SEMA nears.

Ahh Yes Ryan has been a long time GS modder and hard core show competitor. I drooled over his car long ago. I'd say it was about 4 years ago when I first saw his FI GS.

He's been an inspiration for me.

I saw his car at SEMA lat year, but unfortunately haven't seen him for a while.

Hopefully I'll find him at SEMA this year.
