Well...
18's instead of 19's.
Ride is ****, car is slower, I have to drive like a total pansy to keep from beaking them off on some hellified pothole in Houston.
THEY LOOK BAD **** THOUGH!
I will prob get a higher profile tire next time.
That's all folks.

but back to the dissapointments, i wish i didnt get an RMM grille and wing cuz they both warped on me. And i wish i got 18 and not staggered cuz the ride sucks *** on 19's and the staggered 9 in in front and 10 in in back is seriously starting to add up. A set of tires run about 1200 bux. A waste of the money if you ask me.

Wish I would have plus sized my tires with 245/45/18s instead of 245/40/18s to fill out the wheel wells better. Although that would probably noticeably hurt the performance, since I have a GS300. Wish my wheels had more lip, but that really isn't an option with this particular design. Not sure I would want to give up the ability to rotate my tires, but I would like a staggered setup just to get a better offset in the rear to push the wheels out farther.

hi guys,
no regrets, but am curious as to the guys with borlas, why did you guys not contact borla and get the venturies from them and see how that works out. the venturies are free. do that and let us know how it works out.

My list is kinda long so bear with me...
I would have bought 20'' rims before I bought 18'' as I lost alot of money when I went with the 20''
Would have bought the Toms' racing exhust insted of L-Tuned...alot of money for just mufflers
Would have bought SRT intake insted of RMM
Would have bought the TRD brake upgrade insted of RMM
Would have bought Lsportline bodykit first insted of a knock off...alot of money wasted there
Would have bought a 400 insted of a 300
can't think of anything else at this time...

I would have:
1) Bought a salvaged titled GS300 with 393K miles on it
2) Bought a knock-off kit
3) Bought some 18" knock-off wheels, chrome.
4) Put a Pep Boys Muffler "system" on the GS
5) Skipped the front STB because the engine cover is more important
6) Not done any of the TOM'S stuff because it's expensive
7) Not done the brake upgrade...I mean it stops, sorta, right?
8) Paint my STOCK calipers RACE RED and put a LEXUS sticker on it (just in case people don't know who makes the OEM calipers for Lexus...I mean DUH! Who would know that? I must advertise it.)
9) Take a black marker and put some "Cross Drilled" holes on my disc.
10) Added Neon Underbody Lighting cuz it's l33T!
11) Added a "wood looking" vinyl wheel cover instead of a real wood wheel
12) Add a 201 Piece "Wood Trim" kit for interior so it looks like a old fashion armoire
13) Threw in a 1982 Edition Thomas Guide instead of Navigation
14) Bought a Emerson Boom Box instead of the Mark Levinson
15) Quadruple dipped chrome grille and trimmings...every trim.
16) Some sheep skin seat covers to hide the wear on the seats...and the blood from the former drug dealing owner who's car got seized after he got capped...then bought by a underhanded used car dealer (is there any other kind?!) for $500 which he then turned around and sold to me for for $15K (such a deal!!!)
Why? Because then I could be one of those fakes that are PIMPIN' ON A BUDGET! Datz rizzight! And I'd move to New York (ok, actually New Jersey) and enter my car in all the ricer car shows and make a completely fake poster of me and Jay-Z...fo shizzo my nizzo in the hizzo blizzo wizzo dizzo youz knowz...

I have very little mods for know. So not having started to mod earlier I do regret.
But my biggest regret, is not having bought a GS earlier.
Forget what you've heard. There is nothing like a Lexus GS !
