1999 Lexus Gs400
bought right before my 18th birthday so around June 14, 2011 i guess.
the car came with those ugly rims . dont know what it is and what its called, no sunroof never really started posting anything, creeping around was my thing.
sorry for the bad quality, all of the pics were taken with my phone.
also, i didnt do everything one time this is about 6 months progress due to the fact that im a student with no job.

-how i bought the car.

-Less than a week i bought some megan ez street series after i got back from an outer island trip to kauai.

all the way down, but not drivable.

-how she sat for a while.

-did the tint and took out the stupid center caps.

-6000k hid kit in.

-red and clear outers in. i was thinking about shaving the inners but thought about it and decided to buy it sometime soon.

-couple of rollin shots to finish it off, before taillight install btw.



one last thing, i ordered my wheels at the end of december 2011 so dont mind the wheels right now. what they are? now thats to be kept a secret.
specs are...
19x9.5 +3
19x10.5 -8

positive/negative feedback is always good, lmk what you guys think. Mahalo (thank you)

You welcome. You should check the car whatever have sunroof. I test drove 2010 Infinity G37X and sunroof was missing. I felt bad afterward. I decided get a car with sunroof.

fellow islander. guam has been doing it big lately too. yup it has been blowing up lately, a lot of spoiled kids getting whatever car they want these days. nice to hear about the progress on your car. hope everything goes smooth with yours. mine has a long way to go once i get my rims, a lot of problems have been appearing due to the fact that im riding low without any alignment done. lol, anyway haaa the sunroof isnt a must need right now. wouldve been better if i had one but its okay. yea i was thinking about taking the spoiler out, because the holes are starting to rust a bit. maybe one day when im bored with nothing to do imma do it. shooooots.

Nice one congrats! Does your car have cloth seats or leather? Reason i ask is the ones I've seen that have no sun roof tend to have cloth seats as its a non-U.S. model.
