Default I am now officially "with car" :)

Picked up the 02 GS430. Its completely loaded with every option. One interesting thing to note is that it came with the $1900 17" chrome upgrade and I originally negotiated based on the $250 17" silver alloy upgrade As you can imagine that kinda made my day. I really have no intention of keeping the 17's it was just that I was just originally told that I couldn't get the 16's unless I special ordered. I really want to thank everyone for being so helpful over the last couple months. I'm getting the l-tuned suspension and exhaust in about a month. I'll take some pics tonight after work and post them to this thread.

Thanks again guys.

Update 08/07/2002, Well its a couple months later and I've done tint, suspension, wheels and exhaust. Get ready for a new round of pictures tonight

I really had my heart set on 18" SSR GT3's but don't think there is anyway to get em without waiting 2 months.

hehe that would be great but I don't think its gunna happen The damn exhaust and suspension is going to be about 2k installed. I think I'd probably beable to get like 800 bucks total for the wheels/tires if I was _really_ lucky. Probably more like 600.

No way. My L-Tuned springs/shocks and exhaust was close to $1100 and the install for all of it (two visits, including STB install as well) was $510 including 4 wheel alignment. So that's ~$1600.

I sold my 4 non-chrome 17" factory rims/tires for $1000 (plus the other party paid shipping).

I am an overpaid IT professional which basically equates to me having ZERO fashion sense
