Definately the front bumper. It's too bubbly looking. It should of came from the factory with a TTE style lip or something. Also the factory ride height is too high. Then again they designed the bumper and ride height this way so the average non-careful driver wouldn't take off the front bumper and exhast system flying over a speed bump or parking over/into a curb lol.

hands down THE stupidest/worst/ugliest design flaw of a second gen GS is its factory wheel offset. in order to make a stock set of gs 17s ALMOST flush with the fenders, 25mm front and 30mm rear spacers are required. now tell me that couldnt have been handled differently when they came up with this platform.. bad lexus! bad! what were you guys thinking?!
My biggest problem as well!

Exhaust tips too small (least on the 98-00), a bit underpowered in the 300 model(the lack of power is ugly), and front bumper being WAY too plain without a lip

Damn little to dislike on these cars. I see a lot of 2nd gen GS styling lines on a number of currently produced cars. The only real knock is the grille. Why did they go to the expense of chroming it, then painting the whole thing black?

THE STUPIDIST THING THAT THEY DID NOT COME UP WITH FOR THE 2GS, is when u have to manually turn the the headlights on and off. C'mon how can they not manage to think of having it as an automatic headlight shut off for a lexus.
Do u know how many times i have left my lights on and drained my battery? haha

i hate that gap in the very middle of it. tte should have been factory or at least make the bottom of the bumper straight across
