Lexus L-Tuned Sport Package Will Add More Performance and Style to GS Series

August 9, 2000, Torrance, Calif. - To enhance the driving pleasure of the GS 300 and GS 400, Lexus and Toyota Racing Development (trD) have developed an aftermarket sport package called L-Tuned, which will be available through Lexus dealers August 1, 2000.

"The GS 300 and GS 400 are great cars to drive, but some drivers want even more performance and sporty style from their vehicles," said Denny Clements, Lexus group vice president and general manager. "By ordering a manufacturer-approved aftermarket package through Lexus dealers, our customers know they're getting high-quality parts, reliable installation and a warranty."

For the GS 300/400 series, L-Tuned will offer two distinct packages to accommodate a broad range of driving techniques, road conditions and vehicle styling.

L-Tuned's Series 1 Package is comprised of a body kit, one of three wheel/tire combinations and special L-Tuned badging. The body kit, made of durable polyurethane, includes side skirts and a unique body-color grille surrounded with a laser-cut mesh insert.

The Series 2 Package includes the Series 1 components plus performance shocks and springs, a re-calibrated steering ECU and stainless steel mufflers with polished tips for a sportier look.

With each package, GS 300/400 owners will have the choice of three different wheel and Z-rated tire combinations:

* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/45Z)
* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin XGTZ4 All-Weather Tires (235/45Z)
* 18" x 8" (front), 18" x 9.5" (rear) OZ Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/40Z, front and 265/35Z, rear)

L-Tuned packages are available in Crystal White, Black Onyx and Millennium Silver Metallic with other factory colors offered via special order only. Although Series 1 and 2 Packages are engineered to work together for maximum performance, the individual components also are available separately, including all wheel/tire combinations. When installed by an authorized Lexus dealer, L-Tuned parts carry a strong warranty that complements the vehicle's Lexus warranty.

Looking at that price list, I actually saved money by purchasing my items individually. The wheel tire set is only a few hundred dollars less than what I paid for my iForged. My spings and shocks was cheaper. The kit was waaaaayyyyyy cheaper. Muffler was of course cheaper. The steering ECU I do not have and don't need. Hmmmm, thanks 1SICKLEX u made me feel good about my purchases.
