What's up everybody. Recently purchased my first ever Lexus. Been wanting this car since I was a kid so I'm happy to have It and mod it to my liking. At the moment don't have much done to it other than putting fiber optic star headliner and the wheels but more to come for sure on this build. Will definitely be making a thread with all of the work I plan to do.

Congrats on buying the car. Everyone knows I hate wheels larger than 19s, but for Gods sake please lower your car. I don't care if it is on ****ty Megan racing coilovers, please for the love of God lower it. Donk style and Aristos don't mix.

I will probably get in trouble for this post, which is why I stick to the performance threads. But please please please please lower yoru car.

It does not SUV ground clearance.

Default Gonna be buying a 2002 Gs300 soon

Hello Everyone!

My name is Jaeden, and I'm gonna be buying my first lexus soon!
I'm gonna try and get my hands on an 02 GS300, silver with all black interior.

I'm pretty excited to get back into the toyota brand because I've recently had a few hondas and an audi.

And I'm from the great white north! A half hour shy of London, Ontario but do travel and hit events all over the provence when not in quaratine.

Hoping to pick this things up and have lots of fun with lowering, big wheels, sound system, and maybe eventually a turbo kit.

Hope everyone is staying safe!

Hi All:

Been hitting this forum for research for a while and figured it was time to add to it and join...

At the risk of dating myself, I was a Lexus tech back when the brand was first introduced in the US in 1989. I just took over my Dad's 2000 GS400 Platinum as my daily driver with lower gears (3.76) and lowered springs he installed back when it was new. Catching up on a few maintenance items, added Bluetooth to the stock head unit, and looking forward to contributing more to the 94,000 miles it currently has.

Great forum, and thanks for having me!
