Default Finally picked up a GS 2006 Lexus GS 430

NEW PIC AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AND ON A PAGE 2! Pics of new wheels on page 3.

Long time lurker with only a few posts...so you can pretty much call me a newbie to the forum. Finally picked up a new to me GS. Car is going to look very familiar to some of the older members on here. I was honestly looking for a 2007-2009 Lexus GS 350, white with black leather interior, with my second color choices being either silver or the smokey granite. Well after shopping around for almost a year now I finally found the right car. 2006 Lexus GS 430, Smokey Granite with Ash leather and the black colored wood grain. Car is already very custom so I doubt I will be doing much to her...maybe change out the wheels and put an exhaust on? Happy to be joining the Lexus family and will be posting some shots as soon as I wash her.

For now here is a lil teaser pic of the front doors, sorry for the blurry Iphone photo. I will take pictures with my digital camera once I get her cleaned up.

It is loud as hell. Very clean too....there is a total of ten 6.5 inch speakers in the car, 12 tweeters, and two 15 inch subs in the trunk. Gets down and boogie's for sure.

Still haven't had a chance to detail the car yet...work has kept me busy. But here is a quick picture of the current wheels on the car. 3 piece GFG Klessig 5 rims...thinking about getting a new set.

Finally got a chance to snap a couple more pics. I will take more tommorrow when the light is better. I bought a new set of rims that should be here on Sat so the rims that are in the pictures will be for sale soon.
