Though it's a public forum, the mods generally request that you be curtious and kind to other members and not make comments such as "I'm saving him from being made fun of" or that you believe it's "ricey as hell." Perhaps only by you. You don't even own a GS and you're telling him that his is ricey and he's going to be made fun of by modding his. LEDs are taistful if done correctly, which is what he was asking.
Skim07 doesn't like LEDs. But that doesn't matter because LEDs are not his area of expertise.

You're not complete wrong...its not a personal attack and I admit I should have chosen my words more carefully as to not sound like I'm intentionally bashing the OP. I am just tired of seeing ricey mods popping up on a classy car like GS. By the way, I own a 2006 GS as well as 2007 GX. I've only been active on Audizine and M3forum but since my wife is expecting I sold my toys few months ago. I don't understand why some of you think LEDs are acceptable on a car that never even had one from the factory. Some of you mention IS and LS but this is a GS. Saving a forum member from making a bad purchase/mod choice is contributing to the community. Some of you criticize others for buying replica body kits...how is this any different. I'd rather have a replica body kit than a LED strip that never belonged in the first place. Anyways...I hope OP doesn't litter the front end with LED. Just my 2 cents.

true and not true. north american GS don't have leds, but jdm versions do. lexus japan has the led daytime running lights with hid fog lights, which is a factory option. both RC51TOFUMA and myself are the only ones that have this mod (so far). if you do a search, you can see the led running lights with hid fogs i posted last year.

This is true. The GS does have it in JDM land. And now Canada

(SICK, who is talking in 3rd person now and likes LEDs when done right, never thought I'd say that)

"never thought he'd say that". You got to stick to the 3rd person. Can't pop in and out like that.

Agree - it's all about the execution with the LEDs, done well they are fantastic.
