Those tailpipes are looking real nice on your GS bro !! ... You should post a video on how it sounds revved up.. Enjoy your new mod. #GODBLESS

Already posted in my build thread but I'll put it here too....

Well, nothing much was done except for maintenance stuff.
I've repainted my calipers with fresh brake pads. Sanded down my rotors when it had red paint on the hub
Recharged my AC.
My XSPower battery took a nose dive, had to replace with a generic BOSCH blue top battery until I can get another one.
Just put some wheels on was well.

Just threw on my 17MM Rca to lower the car a tad and prep for LS 400 calipers. And changed to some newer headlights. 75 a pop from eBay, used can't beat it. Looks clear as new.
Also threw on my avant-garde m550s

And added my SRT intake finally after sitting in my garage for 3 years.

There shouldn't be a gasket, only permatex. Factory uses the red goo.

Test fitted the Tom's front strut bar and wiped down the engine bay with a dry rag. Won't have the bars installed until I find a set of sway bars. My apologies for the poor cell phone quality.

I my battery light came on and I got stuck right in front of a mechanic. He was cool enough to lend me a jumper to get my car across the street to him. My alternator was bad so he charged my battery and pointed me in the direction of autozone

Thank you, no link, bought these from another clublexus member a few years ago. Came off his gs400 and I had them installed on my previous gs400 for a few months until I sold the 400 to pick up a 430. I would like to keep the engine cover on because I don't like it raw?
