i'm used to having cars people look at with my last 2 S13s but i turn loads of heads with the GS. just has simple things, 19s, coilovers, chrome bits and pieces, but i try to keep it clean and shiny most of the time and i get tons of people looking wondering what it is as i've debadged it. Get people of all ages looking too from young to old so its good, dont get the people hating on it like i did with the S13s!
few stories, a guy sped up next to me on a freeway exit, then slowed right down and stopped just looking at it, took a camera phone snap, then thumbs up and drove off. guy behind him kinda rolled past slow with a wierd look on his face, then shrugged and gave me a smile & nod haha
then in a fancy area of town, lots of range rover sports, porsches, bmws etc i had a guy in range rover yell out to me at an intersection asking what it was and if it was a new Mazda or BMW. So i said nah its a Lexus he was like 'ahhh its beautiful mate'.
had a few people come to me at the petrol station asking aobut the car, what i'd done to it etc. i like the fact it almost looks OEM like it isnt over the top obviously modded like my drift style S13s were. Next step is a nice subtle kit to really set it off!
As for scrapeage stories, i once went to a pub for a girl's going away striaght after work thats the only reason i had my car there (normally avoid driving it when going out cause parking is generally hard). Ended up in the undercover park behind the pub itself, was quiet going in so i could angle thru a vacant street parking spot. On the way out i came rolling up and all these guys sitting along the side of the wall in the beer garden were looking at the car and nodding, then see the bump to get out, then back at me. haha so i sortof angled as much as i could but seriously dragged my whole underside & exhaust on the way out haha they just sorta cheered and laughed.

Yea people stare alot. Sometimes for the look and I think sometimes because people are suprised to hear a V8 rumble out of a 4dr lex. My gf doesnt like driving it because of how many looks she gets in it.
what kind of car is that
