YOU ARE A BALLER. YOUR RIDE SHOULD BE IN A TUNER MAGAZINE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING LEXUS GS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THERE IS A NEW TUNER MAG CALLED TRACTION ITS MADE FOR VIP VEHICLES AND TUNED LUXURY CARS AND COUPES. YOUR RIDE IS NICER THAN THE LEXUS GS ON THE COVER OF THE MAGAZINE. YOU SHOULD HAVE A CAR DOMAIN PAGE WITH THAT CAR. i LIKE THE FAMILY STICKER ON THE BACK. IT SHOWS YOU ARE A MAN NOT SOME LITTLE KID WITH DADDYS CAR, OR THE CAR THAT DADDY BOUGHT THEM. YOUR RIDE IS PERFECT THE WAY IT IS

DAMN MAN THAT SUCKS. I FEEL YOUR PAIN I USED TO PARK IN A HUGE LOT AND HAVE HAD DENTS IN THEOLD CAR ALOT. I PARK MY RIDE OVER 2 SPOTS AND AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THE REST OF THE CROWD. I LIVE IN AZ SO WE HAVE ALOT OF ****TY OLD PICK UPS WITH SHIITY OLD DRIVERS. YOUR SINGLE RIM IS WORTH WHAT THEIR CARS ARE WORTH. GET IT FIXED AND START PAKING OVER 2 SPOTS. I GAURANTEE IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN OF YOU PARK OVER TWO SPOTS. i HAD A FRIEND WITH AN S CLASS BENZ THAT WAS SPONSORED BY DAZZ IN LA AND THIS DUDE USED TO PARK HIS RIDE OVER 3 SPOTS LIKE A DAMN MOTORHOME. I ONCE CAUGHT A FAT OLD LADY WHO DINGED MY RIDE. I ASKED HER FOR HER INSURANCE INFO. SHE TOLD ME OFF AND TOOK OFF. SO I CALLED THE COPS AND HAD HER *** ARRESTED WITH HIT AND RUN. SHE WAS 62 AND I DIDNT GIVE A DAMN. SHE WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. SORRY TO VENT BUT I THINK WE HAVE ALL HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO US. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK

Looking good. Where did you pick up the grille? And how much if you don't mind me asking?

great look!!!
when you get it right like that, it just kicks. The grille is the finishing touch. I bet they will sell 10+ grilles because of your car.
What did do do to the suspension? Is sits perfect..

Speaking from a rookie's perspective, your ride is inspiring! Obviously the vets on here like it too but my first post was essentially "where do I start" so this gives me a visual goal for sure! Exceptionally done!

The car is beautiful, so tastefully done.

But it's that grille that sets it apart for me. I like grilles that blend into the front end of a car, but many grilles become the showpeice of the front end, and it takes away from the overall look of the car, IMO.

Your grille blends in perfectly. I love it. From there, the car just flows perfectly.

Job very well done.
