New GS300 member... pics
I have been looking for a GS for about a year now, with no luck on finding one that I actually liked. I was looking for a black with black leather or a silver with black leather....
I finally found one the other day and decided to grab it while I had the chance.
I found me a 2000 GS300 Platinum Edition with black leather. It has 90k and is in really good condition. I had a Honda Prelude Si with a jdm h22a and a few other things on it. It was my 3rd prelude, and I wanted a four door. I traded the stock rims for these staggered HP's. They are white with a polished lip, but I am about to get them painted. I really want to go red.... What do you guys think???
I am just sick of driving around town and seeing fifty cars with black rims and a polished lip... Also going to get it lowered and tint the windows. I don't know a whole lot about swapping stuff on these, but is it possible to put the LS400 brakes on this car?
Lovin this car so far, hopefully I can get it the way I really want it...
this is my old lude...
and this is my new GS

Welcome! The car looks real clean! I wouldn't paint them red; like was said I think silver would look good, I personally don't care for black either.
The 95-00 LS400 front brakes can be swapped onto the GS but it's not a direct bolt on, there's an issue with suspension clearance that requires a little work, search "LS400 brakes" or something similar in this section to get the details. Supra TT calipers and rotors should work without any modification if I've researched correctly. You'll need to make sure your front wheels will clear the TT or LS calipers or use spacers as they require quite a bit more space than the GS calipers.

Thanks for the info! Yea, I know red is a little much.. I can always repaint them if I don't like it.

Tilted this is sort of what it would like with red rims. I don't think it really looks that bad, but IMO I would go silver with the chrome lip, but at the end of the day it is your car. Oh also lowered it a bit
