Default Hello all...

New to the Lexus community. I've always loved the 2nd gen. After a long search, I finally found the perfect one. A 99 GS400. The car is immaculate inside and out. It even has the original window sticker! I've only been on the site for about a month and I've learned more than I did with a year of previous research. I have a pretty good idea on the direction I want to go with it but I'm open to suggestions. For my first question, is the rear view mirror with the compass a straight switch? Or is there more to it?

I plan to do a mild drop, tints, mild sound system upgrade, rims, sport design rear spoiler, 01+ tails, rear window spoiler, TTE front lip, and maybe some window visors.

If the previous owner gave you no documentation showing the lower ball joints being replaced, that should be your first order of business.
