Default New GS400!!

Found a great deal on this GS400 so after I got off work last night at 6pm I drove half way to San Antonio from Houston to pick it up. Its in really good shape for being a 2000 and black. Already did a complete interior detail today and on Saturday I will be changing all the fluids, changing all 4 struts and lower ball joints and the sway bar endlinks. Will also get a complete color sand and buff. The car has so much more power than my dads GS300 lol. The 400 just wants to go fast lol. I will also be ordering the 01 and up grill and either the 01 and up taillights or get the taillights like the ones on my dads car. Which ones do you all think would look better on a black car? By the way they are both Platinum Editions. Black-GS400 Gold-GS300

Thanks guys!! Does anyone know where to get these led taillights? These are the same ones as on my dads car and I got them on ebay about 2 years ago but I can't find them anymore. I think these are the best looking led taillights and I want them for my car.

That would be great if you could find the link. I remember when I bought them for my dads car I paid $180 shipped for them and they have worked great.
