Car is done Photoshoot
I can finally say that after the countless hours on this forum. The thousands of dollars, and hours of working on the car that i have done everything i wanted to do to it. It's fast, it's black and it looks good! Thanks to everyone who has helped me along this path. Here's to you, enjoy!
Unfortunately, the car might be up for sale sometime in the near future(Watchout for a massive part out or a sale as is). So i thought, after i got my new car wash stuff from AutoGeek that i would wash it and take some pics.
Here you go! GS400 ****.

+1,
I always went with the idea that if your going to modify a car heavily; one would end up keeping it. You never make the money back, and if you plan on selling it, what is the point of modifying it in the first place ?
Your basically investing, for someone else who picks it up cheaper than it costed you.
Modifying sure, has its joy, but it also has its fair share of headaches. As you must have experienced. IMO not worth selling a heavily modified car.
UNLESS one is Rich and can cut their losses in the sale or try to break even (which is hard), or they had to sell due to financial reasons and other priorities.
Otherwise just keep the ride, its a sweet ride

Thanks for all the great comments guys!!
I've been looking at either an 06 or 07 IS350 or an 06 G35 coupe.
I definitely agree with you. And the price i'm going to ask for this car most people will see as overpriced but it will still be way under the price i've put into it.
Being a young kid, i'm still learning and growing. This was really my first actual car that i owned and definitely the first car i have ever modded. I am very satisfied with the way it's come out. But i feel like i've put WAY to much time and money into it. And i feel like if i have it i will continue to do this. (Which may sound stupid because i could do this to the next car i get.)
Either i'm going to part it out and sell it as is either to a private party or my brother if he wants to buy it so it stays in the family. Sell it modded and try to get as much of the money i've put into it back. Or keep it and enjoy it until i can upgrade.
But, here's the thing. Since i am in College now. And since i've really started to invest alot of my time into my Real Estate career. I don't have the time or patience to be working on an older car, or a modded one for that matter if something goes wrong or breaks. With higher mileage car's you always run the risk. Plus, i can't drive clients around in a lowered GS that is loud and not necessarily the smoothest ride.
I'm just thinking out loud here. I see this time in my life as a good time to upgrade to something that i can keep performance wise stock. Not worry about it and be happy with the drive as it will be my daily driver. My sights in the future is an ISF so i think if i may a compromise now. Save time and money by getting something newer and reliable. Then i can focus on work and school, then get myself into something even better.
Thanks for reading.
And if you want to buy or sell a house in CA. Give me a call
