Default Pics of my GS300...20"s and DroPPeD!!

Here are some pics of my ride and a list of the mods I have done to her so far.

1. Rims - 20", custom painted to match the car (blue onyx pearl)
2. Tint - Limo on back 3 windows, one shade lighter on the front two
3. Springs - Tanabe NF210
4. Smoked out tail lights
5. DVD/BT bypass (watch movies while car is in motion also bypasses the bluetooth features)\
6. Gucci interior (removing it soon)

Upcoming mods
- Exhaust
- Blue headlight film kit
- 3M Clear bra (protect from all the dam rocks in AZ)
- Black Pearl Emblem kit (how do you think this will look??)


Well let me know what you guys think.

Really like the looks of your car. I'm considering exactly the same color combo (blue/cashmere). The only thing is that i'm worried that the blue would be too blue. It doesn't look that way from your pictures. Do you think the pictures reflect the color of the car in person? Could you post some under direct sunlight.

blue06, I really like what you've done to your GS, congrats! The smoked out tails definitely flow with the color on your car, not to mention your wheels. I especially love the side-by-side pic with your friend's GS

Like you mentioned, I love that color! The wheels aren't my style but I dig the smoked out tail lights. I think it's a good idea that you're removing the Gucci. As for the black emblems, I think that'll look sick. I definitely need to tint my windows.

Blue Onyx Pearl normally looks black because it's so dark, but the moment sunlight hits it, it glows blue. Absolutely love this color. Check out my thread here for pics of it under the sun: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-third-generation/183568-took-delivery-of-my-gs300-awd-today.html

The exterior is nice, although I would have picked some wheels with "beefier" looking spokes. Those wheels expose too much of the brakes and look a little puny on a car the size of the GS IMHO. Although, I do like the fact that they are color matched and a have a polished silver lip.

The interior is ghastly. I'm sorry, but it just screams "ghetto fabulous" and "look at me".

Thx for all the compliments and even to those that gave some criticism. Like i said in my original thread i AM removing the gucci...although the girls love it when they see it! but i'm just not feeling it anymore.

also, i knew that i wasn't gonna be able to please everyone, but i personally like how the spokes arent that "beefy" and i like how you can see the brakes/rotor....maybe i'm alone on this....but oh well, its my car!
