Default My new 02 GS430!

Been on this forums for a good while but new to the GS. I bought this car on 7/22/12 but never really posted up anything..
Here r some pics when I first got her





Started to mod her right away lol
(the same day)
Full led interior, junction interior


Kk now all these other mods came pretty quick after..
Did the clay bar first



Clear side marker, painted the ugly wheels it came with lol


Lip kit (didn't install side skirts yet)

(yes this side is painted silver lol)

Intake filter..


DIY chrome grill..


Chrome door/trunk handles




New temp wheels..



My next project that I'm still working on..


Not bad for having the car for 1 month lol

Default How did you restored the Headlight housing?

The headlight looks really nice. What did you do to it? Nice looking car.
I want a V8 now.
