Default Newbie and Newbie GS 300 Owner

Hi all! I am a 1st time owner! I have always wanted one since the inception in 1993 but decided to wait until around now when I could feasibly afford one (and in 93 I was all of 15)! Anywho...thats her, "Lexi" in the avatar! I pick her up this weekend and I am SUPER excited! 2000 Lexus GS 300 Platinum Edition and she drives like a charm! 1 owner which was a commercial vehicle and brand new Pirelli tires. I'm not sure what to do with her exactly as far as her feet are concerned but I am getting some ideas from here!

Looks fresh. Love how the tint matches the color of the car almost perfectly. Nice pick up!

Welcome to the Club!

I wouldn't really do anything to it. Maybe coilovers and some nice wheels. If you do end up buying coilovers buy something good. It's a nice car, don't ruin it with Chinese / Taiwan knockoff junk parts!

That's why I need you guys! I need help with that, I don't want to drop it much at all and I love everything else about it! Wheels and coilovers would be where I need the help!
