Default Famous 3GS with 22's in Heavy Hitters magazine ...again

I just saw this famous GS300 with the 22's in heavy hitters magazine again. This car was in the magazine back in late 2007 or early 2008. I think the owners name is John Jarasa. Seems like he really put some money into the interior this time. This GS was white initially white with Autocouture wheels, and a body kit. He then went gray and changed the wheels to the ones shown , but now he did up the interior. Cool to see the Lexus GS get some love....even though I think the owner works as an editor for the magazine and probably put it in the magazine himself. The car ,imho, deserves the attention it gets based on the impeccable mods and the quality and consistency used in putting together a car like this.





sorry about the crappy camera phone pics. I was rushing to take these pics in between seeing patients.

I actually like the interior. it reminds me of a Lamborghini. I just have this feeling that the leather they replaced the original interior with will probably not be of the same quality as the stock stuff. The seats probably even feel different.


whats crazy is the owner will dump tens of thousands into the car and then just sell it later for nothing near the cost of the work.

Thats typically how any modified car goes. there comes a point where you just cant return it to stock and selling a modified car is very hard because not everyone has the same taste so you end up taking a loss on the car.
