Default HAPPY 3GS owner

Hello guys, I sold my 2GS on Dec 13th and after 9 days I'm now officially a 3GS owner since Friday Dec. 21st 8:30pm GS350 Mercury Metalic on Black.

Before i bought this car, i already ordered a set of 20" rims, TEIN CS, JDM Lexus Wind visors. So basically only owning the car for 1 day i already did three simples mods.

1. JDM wind visors
2. Full hood and fender clear bra. Front bumper, headlights, fog lights and mirrors clear bra from AEROTECH
3. Tinted windows all around.



Thanks Kevin for taking a pic of my car.. I left my camera at home.
I'll upload a newer picture later today with tinted windows.

Tommy

i got mine tinted just yesterday at STM. they are the best with ceramic tint. a bit more expensive but the heat reduction is tremendous. also had the same tint on our ls460l, the car was so much cooler in the summer. in fact i will probably tint the front as well later

you are in AZ so i suppose more heat. don't go cheap and just get normal dyed films for your car. get ceramic

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to 3GS ownership.

The other day a GS the same color as mine was approaching fast and I kept wondering what was different. As it got closer I thought it had an aftermarket front facia. Then I realized it was the 08 model. It does look more aggressive coming at you. I'm starting to like it.

can't wait to see how your car turns out. i love the color and i'm sure it will look real good after you're done modding.

Yeah Ryan just let me know when and where. I already got the Tein CS coilover as well. i'll wait until my wheels arrive in Mid Jan and put it on my car at the same time.
