Just bought a 2000 gs300 a few days ago for $800 bc the frame got bent in a wreck and am in the process of stripping everything out of it. I got a **** load of codes on my 98 gs 300(we'll call her shanice) like some abs stuff and a p1121 I think it was (accelerator pedal sensor or something like that) so I just swapped the throttle body out and it took shanice out of limp mode. However it sounds a little like air (I think) is leaking somewhere now and on the shift lights on the dash, the P and the N lights were illuminated. Does anyone know why this would occur. I was pretty baffled. Thanks

I sanded them back a few months ago (400 grit, up to 2000 grit), then plastic polished, and kept just sanding with 1000-2000 then plastic polish again getting any little bits i missed.

Then the other day, I just used the plastic polish and put some Autoglym spray wax on (My favorite spray wax atm)

Installed my newly litted climate control by ways of @kamlung after years of annoying burnt out lights on the climate control finally got replaced by kamlung.

If your looking to replace your lights or some color in your life, hit up khamlung. Very professional, great communication, very well packaged. Quick turn around time.

Color combo of your choice. I went with the white background, red defrost, and blue elsewhere.
Pic is paired up with Pioneer Avic 930BT.
