Default PICS: High End GS350 for SEMA

Here are some pictures of Tanabe/SSR/More-Japan booth for this year's SEMA event. We were lucky enough to work with High End and they built an amazing Lexus GS350 and Infiniti G37.

Our Booth: Took several 12 hour days to set up. It doesnt look like much but trust me it is alot of work.


High End Built GS350:
Aimgain Front/Rear/Sides
Tanabe Pro FIVE Coilovers
Tanabe Medalion Touring Exhaust
Endless Brakes
20" Vienna Zweels (Custom Painted Lexus White)
Pillars wrapped with Burberry Leather
Seats wrapped in Burberry Fabric




New Vienna Rossetti: We had alot of positive feedback on the wheels in general. These Rossetti's are now available to the US Market, although we have not yet updated them to our site.

New SSR Professor VF1: Alot of positive comments for these wheels and actually had quite a few orders for them as well. Again, these are avalible just not yet updated to our website.

I usually hate the "luxury fabics" in the cars but this one isnt bad. the pillers are overdoing but it doesnt look bad on the seats. I wouldnt do it, but i'm just saying. lol

Yeah, before the show I wasnt really a fan of the burberry interior but by the end of the show I actually felt that it was a nice touch. The Burberry fabric is pretty subtle with the OEM tan interior so I think that it matched well. Also the fact, that High End used leather for the pillars and fabric for the seats really made it look like it was meant to be there. Minus the stickers, this would be an awesome daily driver.

We've all seen worse interiors so this isn't too bad. Not that I would do it but it isn't that bad. At least we're getting some attention in the modding/aftermarket world. It can only mean more stuff made for our cars.

Burberry interiors kill a car for me- it's like you're reaching too far. Like you're just trying to show off cash or something. It's gaudy and tacky, and on top of that, so much of that type of thing is fake- a lot of these designers who you see plastered all over interiors don't even sell fabric in swatches, so people use somewhat high-quality knock-offs. tisk tisk.

One of the finest 3GS I have seen exterior wise. The burburry interior however, I am not feeling. I think the fact that you have the burburry leather is too much. Since Lexus has, some of the finest interiors and materials, I feel there is no need for the burburry interior and actually a step down to the interior of the GS. Otherwise, very well done .
