Smile My First GS (Work in progress.)

Hey! Just wanted to show CL what I'm currently working on. I did put a lot of time and money into my car. However... still not satisfied!

Before I got my new wheels:



And then after:












This is the original color of my car... but I did have it repainted by lexus. It was way too dull. Definitely a big difference now.

Don't really have any old pictures of it.



Blue on black Lexus OEM leather. (Swapped it out myself, bought interior from a different GS owner.)

Looking good. i like ur new wheels way better. Try putting chrome 7440 bulbs in your tail signals, or dust them with a coating of silver engine enamel. to cancel out the egg-yolk look.

Car looks great. What future mods do you have for it? Can we get a closer look at that hood mascot?

Thanks for all the love and support! Yes I will post a picture of the hood ornament. Yes, I will get center caps, and as for future mods... I really want the aimgain cygnus knight rear bumper, with a TTE front lip. Haven't decided much on the sideskirts yet. Just purchased chrome trunk trim and chrome door handles. Next is painted window visors (matching the cars color) and as well as the sport trunk spoiler, (m3 spoiler i believe?) If anyone has any mods for sale, please PM me, I'd like to see what you all have to offer!

As for interior, I will take pictures of that too
