Hey Adam, that is actuall the kit that I have...of course, as usual, Steve/Enginyr has stolen the picture and put his lame *** logo on it...that's ok, I fixed it.

The kit is available throught Steve Ganz (gonzo4u@earthlink.net) at Carson Toyota (800-90-TOYOTA)...it sells for $2600...

Here's a link to the kit on my car...

yes the kit is nice, though i think it looks better on a black color like manaray's. i have seen his car in person and it's awesome

yeah, manaray, any pics of your new wheels?

not to push my way in, manaray, but in case you don't come back...

"the guy" is well beloved here, and very busy because of the excellent prices and service he and his crew provide, so give him time. its called Classy Design if i recall and its fiberglass. and toyota don't make any kits for the GS. if you do find it elsewhere, i'd still go with steve. my purchases have been good, and others here can really rave about him

the guy you talked to is steve ganz, parts manager of carson toyota. he's probably one of the most stand up guys i have seen, awesome customer service and increditble price. you pretty much can't beat his price at all.

the kit you asked about is classy (hopefully i am right this time), nice kit. it's fiberglass (almost 90% of the body kits you find out there are FG). but it's from japan so it's a lot thicker and stronger, not the cheapo stupid honda civic kits out there.

ok...all the questions have been answered...hehehehehe...nevermind...

Thanks for the compliment folks! I planned on doing a couple more things but at this point, I think I'm going to hold on the GS430...besides that, I'm trying to get my SC400 "up to par"...

Hey Manaray,
Sweet Car. I really like. What kind of roof spoiler is that? I haven't seen one like that before. What brand and how much?

It's a UGO Katayama Carbon Fiber roof spoiler...it is about $500~$600 and it's available from Steve Ganz (gonzo4u@earthlink.net or 800-90-TOYOTA)...they also make a FRP (fiber reinforced plastic...fiberglass) version that is less (like $350 maybe?) that needs painting...on certain colors cars, I would do the FRP version and colormatch the paint...but on darker colors, I like the CF...

fboukari - Definitely do the body kit last....I always do the body kit last...

I have a black 430 also. I really like the way that spoiler sits. How hard is it to install?
