My personal opinion is this that a gs400 with 2o inch lowenharts u dont see every day and if they are chrome then you are getting a damn good deal for 3500. plus a stock gs400 is damn fast in my opinin and u dont need a supercharger when u have 20's and rubber bands for tires. as far as the body kit goes that is a definate option as well but im a wheel finatic so i say the wheels go first cause a car looks bad with a kit and no rims.

Lex are heavy cars their ment for luxury and the GS some performance, If you have a system, tv's, and extra's your car is even heavier, it's much more fun to have the looks and cruz, If your going to dam fast you will pass the girls up. If thats the case you wasted your money on a lex you should have bought a supra go with the wheels then the kit and if you want to show of get the sc later just for the fun of it. thats what Im working on.

:eek: wow knock offs.......those are hella dope fresh........SYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYKe but hey to each their own...btw i would get a body kit. well only cuz you can only go but so fast before you have to back down. you're proned to having more tickets.i know in my neck of the woods cops are like a mile apart from each other. besides you have a luxury car. and the power that is already given, is pretty decent. while ricers are going fast...you can savor the flavor of onlookers. that's just me. naw mean?

If you go with a S/C 7500 installed. you better have the LSD, wide tires, valve body... Oh yeh $$$$ to keep it tuned. every 20k miles-30kmiles.

This is how a member once put it.

saftey

I think any of your choices/options are GREAT, it just depends on what stage you're @ with tuning your ride.

I noticed that all the SC votes were from members with BAD *** rides already... L-Tuned, TRD, body kits, 18"+ wheels, etc... [nothin wrong with that]

I just picked up my 99' GS... so I guess I'm voting for some deep dish wheels and tuned suspension. I certainly can't vote for SC until my other parts (suspension, wheels, etc.) are tuned for that kind of speed. Then again, SC with 20's... that's wicked!!!

I would definitely go for look/20''s first. Definitely lowering as well.

If I realli want speed GS is simply not the right car.

Me personaly I would go with the rims. but not the LD1's coz they are like the posterchild for knockoff wheels,I would buy rims but not the LD1 you should try and get something different. coz I can run and buy ld1's right now but I want to be slightly different than everyone else.

How many GS's have you seen with LD1's?........Way to many

You gotta get the rims before you get the bodykit.....my veilside kit doesnt look as good with my stocks as it does with the LD1s. Just my two cents.

To each his own, but those girls of probably random hoes. A girl or WOMAN can tell the difference. A stock Lexus can get a hoe. A GS with questionable mods will get you dumb hoes.

I prefer smart women.
