What to do first? Antique Bronze Mica GS400
I just recently picked up a '98 GS400 that i am IN LOVE with
The only thing im unsure about is the color (Antique Bronze Mica). Its been growing on me but im still unsure whether i want to get it repainted ($3500) which im unsure if ill even have the money for, or to put the money into awesome upgrades for the car.
So ClubLexus community give me some ideas as to what to do to the GS!

i know its not ugly, its just an unusual color and im unsure how i feel about it. Also, i feel like if i do put a lip/kit or anything on it it is going to look bad because of the color. I havent really seen any ABM cars with any body kits and i feel like something simple like a TTE lip isnt even going to look right. UGH.
As for a drop, my driveway where the car resides has a 45 degree approach that i doubt id be able to clear if the car was lowered at all. Hmm, maybe with L-tuned springs i might make it

I say skip the paint, and do a THOROUGH job detailing the paint, including claying, polishing, and then sealing. This color paint really looks nice when it's prepped well.
It will save you $3500 that you can apply towards upgrades -- which will make you feel even better about skipping the paint job!

Hey just curious what you paid. I paid $5900 for my 98 in October from the original owner with 130k on it in pretty damn good shape. I flew to Arizona and drove it back to Idaho, after stopping in Vegas a couple nights that is. Hell I took my wife and my 1 1/2 year old son, it was a fun trip.
