Hello all!

My name is John and Im new to the site/forum, and also new to the lexus community. I just bought a 99 alpine silver GS300 yesterday and I LOVE IT . The previous owner took good care of it and its in great condition. I'll post pics later for I have to go back to work today . I've been off for a week and I've searching for a GS and finally got one.

Here are the list of upgrades:
Interior components have been upgraded to look like 2001+ GS model.
Leather steering wheel was replaced with wood Lexus steering wheel with airbag with Lexus emblem.
Instrument Cluster was replaced with 2001+ cluster for newer and better look.
Leather shift **** was replaced with Lexus OEM burlwood shift ****.
TRD aluminum pedals were installed.
Dull yellow interior lights were replaced with bright white light bulbs.
19" Axis Milano wheels (don't know the offset) and wheel locks
Sarona roof spoiler
TRD front grill
OEM KAZZ Clear tail lights.
JDM Chrome trunk bar.
Apexi WS sports catback mufflers.
TRD L-Tuned suspension kit
L-Tuned license plate frames
