Default Glad to be back!

It's been a few years since I last owned a Lexus and I'm super happy to be back. I've met alot of great local Lexus people here in Miami, hopefully now I can meet some GS people.

I had this LS about 4 years ago.







and after alot of fun I decided I needed an s2000 in my life, so I bought this and modified it to where it is now.









and after finally paying it off, I picked up a co-workers mint 98 gs400 and an really looking forward to making it a subtle but eye-catching daily driver.



gotta change my name now, lol.

Thanks a lot guys. I wish I could have purchased another LS430 as it is one of my favorite cars, but there is a substantial price difference and I just couldn't justify it. That being said this GS is beautiful for the year. Previous owner is a Lexus tech ( I just left from service) and the car is just mint. From what I'm told it has the TTE lip, L-tuned side skirts, L-tuned or TRD grill (not sure), supra brakes, tein springs, cusco f/r strut bars and TRD f/r sway bars. For the price I paid, I'm in love with it. It is my daily so I'd like to just do a bag setup and some wheels, I think the outside is nice how it is. I don't want to spend to much since I still have a lot to do on the s2000.
Lol at that evil twin thing, they do look a lot alike.
