Default Back in the Lexus game

Hey guys, I recently aquired a GS from a friend of mine. Used to be a Lexus owner back when I owned my UZ powered Soarer. Sold that to fund my drift car, Silvia, sold it and went back to some luxury.

Sorry for the low quality pics, I run my own photography company and yet never have time for me haha

Nice fitment. Must be running spacers. Also looks like L Tuned exhaust. 300 or 400?

Sweet color looks great, I like the yellow inners tinted on the headlights, looks great on spectra blue, I think if u tinted the fogs with an overlay yellow it would look sick Also...

Never tint yellow over fogs... looks HORRIBLE!

OP: Is it just the pic, or are you missing the sprayers for your headlights? Blue Spectra always been my fave!

Bulbs for the fogs are yellow actually, one was burnout so they stay off.

As for wheels they are G wheels, no spacers.

Sprayers are missing, thats one of the things on my list to deal with!

I always liked the spectra blue. Is the interior grey or tan. I also like the inner lights in yellow and think yellow overlays on the fogs would look sweet.
Your other rides are awesome. The Sylvia is singing to me!

Welcome back to 2GS!
Thanks!

And its tan, I wasn't a huge fan at first but I'm really starting to like it.

Next up is suspension work, not a fan of the set up currently.
