Actually a local guy I know got his 05 GS430 repainted because it got keyed horribly. He ended up repainting the whole car again. He went from Silver to white.

Ordered TTE lip spoiler for the front bumper. Carson Toyota said it should be shipped out from Japan in between 8-10 weeks


Installed new Brembo rotors yesterday up front, will do the rear sometime in the near feature.

Maybe Blienten* Shocks to complete the lowered look. Already have eibach springs installed

A deep cleansing inside and out most Defintely!

Hopefully I'll be getting the Eibach/Bilstein combo, body kit, roof spoiler, black pearl license plate frames, black pearl center caps, and maybe headers.

My summer will be full of instalations. I have two sets of components and four 7" screens that have been sitting in my closet for over a year now. I have a tower of chrome 20" Donz Bonannos in my dinning room. Not to mention the tanabe medallion exhaust system currently in route from Carson's, and the SS headers i plan on ordering in the next few months.
My goal is to have all of this equipment installed by mid Sept. for NOPI Nationals.

I'm hoping to pick up a GS in the next week or two and get to work. I've got a set of L-Sportline 3-piece model IV's and some Q45 projectors already waiting. I'm still undecided on how to do the drop but looking to do Supra TT brakes in the front and to retrofit the projectors and a HID kit in the fogs, all white LED interior lights. Also going to do the DIY chrome grill and clear the orange in the taillights (I'll probably end up with a 98-00). Got some clear sidemarkers coming and will be looking for a spoiler if needed. I've been planning this for the last couple months, I think this should satisfy me for this summer.

A set of Euroline DH's, HKS Hipermax RS, some black pearl exterior dress up, window tint, some nice accessories here and there, and hopefully I will be able to order a Walk Executive lip kit and 5zigen Fireball Mega exhaust.
