I just bought this a few hours ago. 2005 GS300 with 106K on it. Local car, been in Houston its entire life. I also own a slammed purple 1998 Tacoma on some 18" Rays VIP style wheels that will probably end up on here after I lower it. I've wanted one of these for years - car is silver with grey interior and is bone stock, except for my OG Mr. T air freshener hanging from the mirror and pitying fools.

Just picked up this gem, 2002 430 with 107k 2 owner car meticulous service history, I have always wanted one and i could not resist, this was a dealer trade in and without even test driving it I put my name on it. I am very happy with my purchase and Im doing tons of research to make sure it is modded correctly, springs and upgraded wheels are in the future, I may just have to keep this car for a very long time, I am very impressed so far!

Brian, from Toledo, Ohio.

2001 GS430 Dark Blue on Black. No wing, stock poopy 17s and pioneer, for now.
(75% debadged) with 52k on it. It was a grandma grocery getter from Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Stock except LED lighting in footwells, running, high beams, fogs, HVAC, vanities, ashtrays, domes, trunk, 3rd brake, reverse and all 4 turns. I bumped up the HID bulbs to 5000k and need to figure out how to duplicate the shroud that is on the OEM bulbs. The pattern is not 100% correct.

Default Checking in from Bradenton, FL

My name is Mike. I'm a father of a 5 year old, with another on the way. I am a Service Manager at a local Automotive Repair Center. Through a series of events, I ended up with this 2002 Lexus GS300 Sport Design. While my finances are pretty flat at the moment, I have a lot of things I'd like to accomplish with this vehicle. Hope to get some good info and help with this forum.

So, let's get to the details.

1. Exterior Color - Graphite Gray Pearl
2. Interior color choice - Black leather with Blackwood trim
3. Major Options or special packages (Sport Design, etc) - Sport Design
4. Audio Options (Nakamich/Mark Levinson or Pioneer) - Factory for now. I believe it's Pioneer
5. Any modifications - Bone stock, for now...
6. Anything you want to mention (others considered, previous Lex owner, etc)
7. If you are INTERNATIONAL, state which city/country your representing! - Bradenton, FL
8. Post pics or links to your car (you can upload pics in our gallery)

Hi there everyone...never thought I would own a Lexus - never really appealed to me as a younger man - but just purchased a 2001 GS300 which was a sweet deal and I love a RWD inline 6. My ride is silver with gray interior and 80,000 miles. Pretty much bone stock with no major options. No performance upgrades (yet).

I am a gear head so I look forward to turning some wrenches on this car and getting some knowledge from the other members here. I have lurked for a bit and there is a wealth of information provided by you all..and yes, I WILL use the search function prior to posting questions - LOL!

I am located on the east side of Orlando, FL so any fellow Floridians, hit me up!!

EDIT - I forgot, it has one mod - the passenger side mirror is being held on with duct tape. Prior owner was an older gent who got a little too close to his garage door opening. So if anyone has a lead on a mirror assembly, let me know...preferably silver. I could respray it if necessary, but would prefer not to.

I have 3 Lexus GS300s actually. A 98, a 99, and a 02.

Two black on black and one black cherry on tan.

I'll be swapping the black interior from my 98 to the 02 black cherry.

I'm from Minnesota
