Default New Year. New Car. New Aspirations

Hello all,

Long time lurker, short time poster. Just today picked up a 2013 GS Fsport. Have come from a modified G37, stock UL LS430 and a current 2012 ct200h. My title explains it all. I struggle with FOMO and have been itching to modify cars again. This build thread will document the hopefully speedy process of building a gs350 to my liking. I should also add that i will be building my current CT200h up as well. I will document that in the CT thread but show both processes.


The CT will be entering the shop soon and once finished the GS will take its place.

Current GS350 picked up today-
2013 GS350 F-sport
45xxx miles
star fire with cabernet
BSM, ML

Plans-
full airrex with accuair management / elevel / iPhone app / 2 compressors spare tire setup
full aimgain kit
re do of interior to diamond stitch
CF steering wheel upgrade
hopefully 20x10 20x11 work misters
BBK - Haven't decided yet
Window visors
Fog light kit


For the 2012 CT200h
Full airrex with accuair elevel
2014 front end swap with TRD body kit
Work VSXX
window visors

GS350-























CT200h



and my old g37 and ls430

Thank you sir!


Update- Rear camber arms came in. I've decided to go with the phantom cup kit by PlatinumVIP. Will be going in the shop once the CT comes out. ETA 3 weeks
