Default sharrasitto - MY98 Lexus GS300

Hello clublexus.com,

I am novice here and hope you will be honest to me. First I want to sorry for my poor English. I am graphic & car designer from Lithuania, Europe. My purpose being here is to have some more congenial people because of Lexus cars. I hope I will find here some answers into needed question and be a small part of this forum

Now I want to present my Lexus GS300.

2JZ-GE I6 VVT-i engine with 163kW. The technical part of car is absolutely stock. It has some aftermarket parts in the exterior: ,,Ping pong'' taillights (but i like it ), unique mufflers, R17 IS300 rims.

I am planing to buy some other R18-R19 vip-style wheels, rear trunk and roof spoilers. Sure the lowering car is important too and etc...

I hope I can find here some aftermarkets parts to buy, because it is very difficult to get them in my country. This car is rare and exotic in Lithuania... so...





Waiting for your comments

Welcome to CL. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Although we never really are DONE, it is always good to see someone starting the mod process. I am near the end of my cycle.

Have fun.

Very nice, especially for a 98. My 98 is a little beat. Excuse my ignorance, but what are those things under the headlights?

The milleage is almost 180.000km. I bought this car from Germany one month ago. It is my first Lexus after some Mercedes cars. I used MB E320 2000 before. It was really good car but E-CLASS (W210) has one very big problem with body - corrosion. That`s why I sold this car.

Wow

What don`t you have there in US? Xenon lights or just those washers for xenon lights? Those washers are very important for xenon lights. You cannot use the car with xenon headlights and without headlights washers here in Europe and especially in Lithuania. You will be busted if your car has yourself-added xenon headlights
