Default A newbie sharing some pics of my 3rd Gen GS slightly tuned...








Hi all,

Just sharing some scans of my '06 GS 300.

Only just started to mod the beast.
1. 19x9 and 19x10 at the rear - Work Euroline with gold screws wrapped with Bridgestones.
2. 8000k JDM D4S Low Beam.
3. Luxor LED High Beam.
4. Xenon ballast mod to power the foglights with 3000k H4 bulb.
5. Carbon fiber atenna.

I do apologize for the low quality scans.

Cheers

Pana

Welcome to Club Lexus

Nice ride you got there. By the way, what size tires do you have on there? They look really beefy and make your wheels seem small. Or maybe it's just the angle.

hi, thanks for the warm welcome. about the tires. the fronts are 235/35/19. i just wanted to make room the clearance once i lower it with probably Tein coils.

the back tires..... i made a big mistake. they are 245/40/19. and i don't have enough clearance at the rear.

and i can't adjust the camber angle unless i install a ball joint system, which i'm not too keen on.

any recommendations would great...

and it would be nice to see your ride as well.

Cheers.

I'm from Bangkok, Thailand.

Over here we are considered as 'Black Sheep' because people tend to go for Beemers and Mercs.

You hardly see any Lexus rolling around. Esp. modded ones.

Cheers.

Hi,

Thanks!

I have to be honest, the yellow 3000k foglights really gave the car a new look.

ultimately, i would like the JDM projector foglights. but as you probably know, that they cost an arm and leg.

Cheers.

Hi,

Nice to know that we're not the only ones.

I went to university in the UK. Never been to Germany though. are there tuning companies that specialize in Lexus/Toyota?

my last ride was an Audi A4 with Brock B4 rims. You must know brands like Brock, Tracer Tech and Schmidt.... superb rims.

Very Nice GS!

Now I know why you have beefy tires on rims, everyone drives crazy in Thailand, hahahahaha!

Great ride, I love the color of the headlights/fogs!

The yellow really contrasts with the D4S blue low beam.

You've being too kind by saying Thais drive like crazy. Thais drive like they are escaping from a tornado or sth. like that. What's the hurry? esp. the cabs.

Anyways, here's a few more scans of the foglights (without the low beam).

funny thing about these HIDs. they don't instantly turn yellow. they go from white to yellow.

I've also attached a few scans of the rims

enjoy
