Cool, thanks for the mention; it's certainly validating to know that one's work is recognized and appreciated. BTW, the titanium-colored wheels on that photo are three sets of wheels ago!

Did we miss R.U.IN.AW (Joe) and AutoMan (Mark)?

And since I have everyone's attention, here's a more recent pic of my never-ending WIP
(Work In Progress). It's a continuous evolution - it keeps me from getting bored.

Thanks guys for including me in the "Allstars Club" I had lots of fun with the GS4. It was an awesome car and I enjoyed her for the 5 years we were together! I met lots of great guys in the GS forums as well! Every now and then I scroll through the 2nd gen forums and it is nice to see a lot of newbies as well as OG's keeping it strong

As some of you know I sold my GS to a friend this past December. Here is the last picture I took the day she was picked up by the new owner



Here is the new whip I replaced her with with...

I can't believe JeffTsai hasn't been mentioned.







His car is an 05 and he has the ***** to swap the engine and make it run on e85. He's done the most innovative things I've seen done to a Lexus. And he's not even done yet. Best of all, he does all the work himself. A true pioneer to Lexus performance.

Now Martin was a true OG. I still have his first magazine feature somewhere. His is still one of my favorite 2GS' of all time.

Kraft's car is a good call. His car and JacobT's black GS turned me on to the blacked out trim. I also almost went with this custom Nomura hood a while back too. JacobT and RMMGS4 were big reasons I initially went with the RMM kit.

I wonder who's car that is? haha Small world when it comes to the forums I guess.
