Please excuse my lack of exhaust tips, I was polishing them last night and completely forgot to put them back on, I only realized this after looking at these photos

Here's a mini photoshoot:














I like you new shoes...

Love this stock look brother. I appreciate all types of styles but I love stock the most. Your car looks really nice. Very clean and shiny.

I just got my timing belt kit in. I'm so happy. Paid like $410 on eBay. Maybe a little less. All OEM Toyota, Japan based parts. Think only the thermostat and gasket are from USA. So all together I have the timing belt kit and all MOOG upper control arms, lower ball joints, & tie rods ready to be put on. With this post it is a pic of the kit and if anybody looking for the same exact kit, there's a pic of the eBay listing. I have a 2001 GS430. GODBLESS EVERYONE HERE TODAY ON CL!

I really want to do this, but I have tan interior and don't think it'll look good

Did a 3.5 qt drain and fill of transmission fluid. Changed out the power steering fluid and cleaned the engine bay and headliner with a steam cleaner, surprisingly effective.
