And damn if it doesn't look good. Make sure your Dad leaves it that way.

You do not know how many times I have bugged my dad about putting new rims on it or doing some other kind of mod!! He is starting to not like me. He kinda liked the idea of new rims, maybe 18's but he doesnt want to suffer ride quality...and I tell him its still gona be better than your 4Runner (thats what he drove before GS). He commutes 50miles almost every day so he wants a COMFORTABLE CAR with performance. I think he got the right car!

Another thing were looking into is new springs or shocks.

We noticed that on the freeway/highway the car has a little sway motion on bumbs and sometimes sharp turns. Are we just used an suv or is this common?
What would L-Tuned springs do?

Thanks for the help and comments..
I will post more pictures....

PS: anyone recommend any wax??? I might try Griots...what do you think of that?

EVERY GS does this on the stock suspension. It's worse with the saggy 16" tires though.

What would L-Tuned springs do?
Significantly reduce it making driving the car MORE comfortable because it's less nerve-wracking!

PS: anyone recommend any wax???
Wax? What's that? (Locals near me know I've never waxed my GS! I will get it detailed one of these days though.)

Blacks GS's come stock like that I believe, or at least that's how mine came. (Also B on B)

No all the tinting was done after it was bought. The rear window and rear passenger windows are done. It looks awesome with em tinted!!

You guys just dont know how bad I would like to mod that baby!!! But its not mine.

Maybe a new grill he would like. He does like to be different from everyone else?? Thats part of reason he bought a 430 with a nav...most the GS's were I live are 300's.

So what kind grills are out there...? I really like the L-tuned grill....Price? Im sure I could install that in a flash...correct?

Thank you!

Easy to install, very hard to find! I prefer the look of the RMM grill, but the fit isn't as good as the L-Tuned one.

LEXman13,

I suggest you start with a DIY chrome grill. $5 max and 30 min. tops. On a black car, the chrome looks awesome. This way your Dad will start to get the mod itch once he sees the difference and how good it looks. Here is a link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hroming+grills HTH
