Default Artisan Spirits GS450h + other mods
I wonder if the owner of this car is a member here? I take my car to the same shop.... Anyways, its a 2008 GS450h. The car has ISF rims with stoptech BBK, HKS exhaust and dropped on tein S-Tech. At first, I thought it was lextronics lol, but he has GS300 and full Artisan Spirits kit.

Seeing a lot of negative comments, but it looks good to me. Not my favorite exhaust, but it doesn't kill the car for me like chrome pillars do on other nice cars.

i think he is probably waiting for a rear kit of some sort.. then it will flow with the big can..

I love those brakes! Though there are some inconstancies with the car. It has 2008+ mirrors, but 2007 badges (no glow). I wonder if it is even an h...lol Either way I still want those brakes.

I like the car , but like the rest I have to say the exhaust is the weak link. It sticks out to far. It looks like its not made well or poorly fitted. I am surprised how well the 19's look on the GS
