My newly purchased 98' GS400
hello everyone! just thought id make a thread about my car since its at the beginning stages its a 98' GS400.. just bought it yesterday. i have already purchased wheels, coilovers, a wing, and a few other tidbits to get me started. all help/advice/input is well recieved
sorry about the crappy cell phone pics. i havnt pulled out the good camera yet and ive had the car less then 24 hours.
and these are the wheels... Linea Corsa LC818s 19x8.5/19x10... and suprised/nervous because i havnt seen a single pic of these wheels on a 2GS. just need to grab some tires and wait for the coilovers to come in the mail, roll the fenders and these will be put on
and heres a few of my last cars.
my 100% swapped 2002 Subaru STI
and my 06 Evolution IX RS i had before the Subie

alright...update (but no pics... sorry)
1. got the windows tinted...looks much much better now!
2. ordered my tires for the rims.. sent the 1 wheel out to get repaired. will have the wheels and tires mounted tomorrow, but not on the car until the suspension gets here.
3. ordered some Megan EZ coilovers.. they put a rush on shipping so hopefully they will be here either tomorrow or wendesday.
4. ordered a nice PIONEER double-din headunit.. and will be purchasing all new speakers in the next few days.
5. called my paintless dent remover guy to come out later this month to remove any and all dent in the car.. he is a master of his craft!
6. called my detailer guy, and will be getting a full paint correction job done on her this month as well.
ill start posting up more pics once the ball starts rolling and its not just "purchased" talk

Again , i would keep the factory 17 inch chromes.The 17 inch gs Lexus wheels are very unique now a days,Anything above 17 inch wheels and you will put a beating on your suspension, this is just from my experience.

will do
thank you.. at first it will just be small things.. i wont go crazy with this car. just make it look nicer and slightly aggressive.
with that said... i got one of the new tires mounted on a rear rim and did a static test fit to see what they would look like and how much fender work id have to do... i think it looks great and minumal work to be done
the tires. 225/35r19 front and 265/30r19 rear
