Default My first pics of my GS

The pics are pretty poor because of the light and the car isn't as clean as I want it to be. I plan on taking some tomorrow during the day. But here she goes:

She has L-Tuned shocks/springs, grill, and exhaust. With upgraded brakes; Rotora slotted/drilled rotors up front and new brembo rotors on the rear. Upgraded Goodridge stainless steel brake lines and ATE Super Blue brake fluid. Daizen polyurethane sway bar bushings and steering rack bushings. All of this sitting on ContiExtreme tires wrapped around IS350 staggered 18 inch wheels. Some of you might even recognize the car. This car was maintained extremely well. I am now trying to find L-tuned side skirts and an alarm (Viper 791)will be on this thing before the weather breaks.

Thanks, I love the wheels too,...I don't care for it(Infiniti plate) much myself. That will be coming off as soon as I get my hard plates.

Very nice pick up. You're off to a great start, just don't go broke too fast

May I ask, what year/mileage is that car and how much did you get it for? I'm just curious to what you paid vs the second GS300 I picked up 2 days ago.

All of what I named above with all the records documented at Lexus and all ball joints replaced for $18k w/87k miles. The car doesn't have a Navi, but it's a ML system which I am thinking about upgrading, but it can wait for now. I figured that it would be hard to get the same price for a vehicle this well maintained and put together. How much did you pay for your GS300.

Well, I have a 2005 GS300 that I bought new for $38K after tax n title. I just picked up a Silver on black 2004 GS300 53K miles in pristine condition for my sister 2 days ago for $22K after tax n title.
