Default summer time is mod time -- i love it :)

yeah baby, i love summer. this yr i am definitely putting a lot of time and effort on teh cars yes, guys, more stuff for my car. obviously i started the gs4 not knowing how much i love the car, but now i am truly in love. i got so many "real deal" on my car, so many compliments me but i am so tired of people asking me what exhaust i got and i just say "they are just tips" people think i am retarded... so well, why not just get an aftermarket!

i have always eyed on the apexi ws exhaust for the gs4. new is about 500 to 600 bucks with hookup, not cheap. but guess what, i have it now!!!!!! and best of all? it's free!!!!!! a gal she's trading in the car soon and she needs a stock exhaust, and she wanted a free swap! i was like damn and of course, did it!

man am i happy. the exhaust sounds so deep and nice, i love it, not the type where it's loud all the time, just when it's about 2000rpm where there is a deep rumbling from the v8, nice

anyway, also took some pics of the two lexus together, first time ever since i got the cars. i took the challenge and got some pics. man, it was windy at 80mph

Hey rominl, that's a heck of a deal you got there.

Great pics! Edit: The exhaust pics weren't up when I first viewed it.

thanks guys well i live in san jose (norcal) but the exhaust trade was in los angeles (socal) so there were only one thing i could do... 350 miles one trip but i had to take care of my wedding stuff anyway so it's cool

and man, i don't think i can like the exhaust more, it's sweet. i was very afraid of my fiancee not like it in the beginning, but when she started the car, she told me we should have done it earlier

Did you trade it with the Borla tips also or do you still have them? (I am hoping you still kept them if she wanted it to be stock)...

PM me if you still got them. Thanks!

Nice pics Rominl, I envy your color man !! When I first got the car, I was destined to only put tints on. Well after thousand and thousands of dollars later, I wonder what happened to my first idea .

Modding is a disease which I tried to stop in the past and I am still going..............

hey Rominl

Are you selling your car? I found this spectra blue GS400 on ebay with all the mods you have except the kit and some of the pics look exactly like the ones you posted a while ago before you got the bodykit. Are you really selling it or maybe someome is using your pics
