Very intresting car has no sunroof. I had 8000k hids before and i was extremly happy when i switched over to 5000k now i can see so much better.
I know somone that has a gs300 imported from canada and they have headlight washers, Factory Hids and speedo in KM/H. Is the shark fin functional? GS400s come with antenas integraded into the rear window and reception sucks

i wanted the headlight washers when i saw them just to say i had them,the HIDS were a dealer option, they use km/h there

i have built in antenna in my glass (gs430) and i have great reception. i just love not having the antenna, god i remember replacing the mast on my es300 it sucked and after it went out twice i just bought another OEM antenna and shortly after sold the car

Just drop in a 2jz-gte, then it won't matter if you have a 430 or not because it will haul like no other.

Yeah i know about KM/H im after all an europroduct born and raised there. Didnt know HIds were dealer option on older 300s, thought only 400s had them. The reception isnt bad persay, but from where the station is broadcast 30mile radius its fine. When i start to get past 30 miles from DC/Baltimore towards Frederick/Pa direction theres trees everywhere and i only get one station clear and the rest are not so great, vs when i drive my SC i can hear everystation fine, not perfect but much better.

New rims would look better, but the tails give out that you car isnt a 430. lol

i dunno, i hear u though my remote reception sucks but i blame my tint being so dark. does your gs or sc have tint?
