This is my buddy's '01 GS300....the car that he said he was going to leave bone stock...yeah...

He's got a Wald Executive Kit (from no other than Da Man, Steve Ganz), 20" staggered iForged Flux (for sale in the Wheels Classified BTW...the only reason why the wheels are for sale is because he now wants to do a set of iForged Flux with graphite centers.), TTE Trunk Lip, and Tein Coilovers....should be getting an exhaust, TRD Sways, TOM'S Front and Rear LCB's, and a couple of other goodies sometime soon.
Nice and clean with no bull***** bling...you can't beat that.

Are you talking about that kit? For that, I do not know. I know the bumpers in Japan are sometimes smaller (shallower I should say) on the older cars...the front and sides look like they'd fit.....try asking Steve Ganz....Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer Johnee!

Sick: SOME of the members are...I've seen a lot of BULL***** on here too....(like that guys lame *** "low rider" Lexus...WTF is he thinking?) Some people actually have the integrity to do up their cars right....

I haven't been around much at all...traveling quite a bit....I'll be around for a month or so then I'm out again until probably December....I'm just stacking up those frequent flyer miles...I should be able to get a free first class ticket to Mars sometime soon...

Nice to see you around here, Manaray. Your friend's GS300 is simply beautiful; it is very simple and clean (dare I say "too clean"?). I think the WALD kit is an excellent match for the GS. Leaving a GS300 bone-stock around Manaray?...no one can resist against the "manaray-ism", heheh.

An excellent quote (plus, it rhymes).

I saw this car in person today and I must say, it looks very clean. Another Silver GS stepping up to the plate.

it looks great on a lighter color gs. it is more defined than the dark color ie black as seen on the website. it's very nice indeed.

I have asked steve awhile ago but I have not received a response..I am referring to the wald executive lip kit..I know that the sides and back will fit , but I am not sure if the front lip will work due the differences in the bumpers..If anybody can verify if the front lip fits I would appreciate it...

the kit is nice, very sublte. i'm starting 2 really like the no bolt look, it makes the wheel look so much cleaner and bigger without the interuption of botls. tho i's still probably get the bolts if it were a 2 pc. whats offset is he running front and rear?
