Wheels and stance look great. I'm not a fan of the tail lights and black emblems, though. The exhaust sounds mean. Don't know if I could live with it everyday, but definitely sounds really good.

lexus fenders don t roll well, they dimple and get wavy and the paint cracks and peels. I also don t know what dent your talking about there is no dents on my car at all, and my car doesn t rub at all. If you don t like AVS don t put them on your car. The moldings on my car a vinyl wrapped

Too bad you don't live in my neighborhood here in MD, we can use a snowplow like yours. LOL

Since your car is that low, why bother with winter tires? Should put in summer tires and enjoy and into the storage for winter.

Looks nice.

Most definitely! I always thought the GS exuded some classiness but as well as some sportiness, just look at some of the body lines. So it's up to the person how they want to mod it(personally I went for a little more sportiness as well!), but it's good to see a very sporty GS! Have you considered getting F-Sport swaybars? WOW a world of a difference, I think you'd like em!

I ve looked at the Megan line and have definitely thought into chassis mods thats were its headed next I have camber arms that I didn t end up needing Idk I may just throw those and the sways on as well. might end up pulling the plastic off the engine bay and throw a strut brace on as well. I have a subwoofer in the back and thoughts of going air so not to sure about a rear brace idk well see what happens next lol...... I just put my intake on this morning and am pleased with it I can definitely hear and feel the difference amazing what some pipes will do to the sound and way a car performs!!

lkapimp216 , I love your the setup. When I had my GS I wish I put Volks Te-37 on it but I never did cause of all the Haters on CL going "its a luxury car Val" those guys obviously don't understand what the GS brand is. The car sounds awesome and looks like it should be parked next to Batmans Lamborghini Murcielago in his batcave, good work sir!

When I went to streets of willow in my 2007 E60 M5, I got the same lap time I did in my GS350, the track is a low speed tight cornering track but if you can actually handle a car, the GS is sports sedan , its not a Luxury Garage Queen. On the big track at willow springs I kill my GS lap times but on a small track, i can't budge those GS350 times. If the GS had an extra 200hp it be awesome on the big track. I just hate when these guys degrade there own car, its as sporty as any other car guys.

Good work though, I love it.
