Default what SS goes with the 3gs convo..?




i want to do this conversion later next year, But im not really digging the sides and the rear. what SS do you guys think would look nice with this front end??? i know pandaGS did the front end convo but he bought the whole thing i just want the front end and some nice matching SS. And after that i think i will be ready for boost....

yes yes why not the other way around?? well just because i want the front end convo more. and Im not hurting for more power right now since this is a daily crusier

any thoughts guys

No sides really wouldn't go well with that bumper. As long as the lines stayed the same. If you don't like the Vertex sides don't go for the RMM because they are pretty similar. I would say the JP Sides, or kid that had door panels would improve the look of the car. Also... you know this conversion costs a buttload right? Just make sure you know what you're getting into before you start it haha.

Ooh wow a 3GS front, how exciting You will always see 3GS daily but as for a turbo Lexus? I dont think so. Maybe because you have a 430 and not a 300. If you havent driven a 300, it is slooooooww.
Handoverfi, youre modding quick

IMO nothing wrong with the sides and fitment of the kit. Everything flows beautifully. What wrong with having both. COnvo and Boost.. Very Rare combo imo..

Actually, there is a car here in HI that has this kit. If I were to do it, it would be for the fact that you can mount the FMIC forward from it's current position due to the more space you get with the conversion.
