Pics of my GS 400 work in progress.....
A friend of mine (fellow CL member, GS 400 owner) let me hold his digital camera, so I took a few pics. Enjoy. I guess most of my mods are stuff you can't see. Damn, ya'll changed me
.
I would like to really thank Steve Ganz (SupraTRD for about 90% of my parts), VVti (for the perfect installs at Hennessy Lexus of Gwinett), Bitkahuna (for letting me get the same wheels and drive the snot outta his car), Jazziz (for soldering and installing my SRT intake) as well as all my SELOC and Clublexus members. This is still a work in progress for me, I'M NOT DONE!
BTW, I don't really baby my car, I drive it INTENSELY and get to fully enjoy what I've done.

Lil write-up
Well, this is what has been done since the September Deal's Gap ClubLexus meet (it really motivated me).
November. TRD front and rear Sways. I put these on BEFORE my springs and shocks. Everyone does springs and shocks first, I wanted to see what difference the TRD sways made before. Night and day, If YOU DO NOT want to lower your car, get the SWAYS. It is that serious.
TRD LCB (lower chassis brace), I installed it myself and I dunno, I can't really tell anything.
December
Muculloh 5000k HIDs, I installed em myself reading the writeups here.
TRD grill, did this myself, as I stated before, for some reason my mesh is silver instead of the usual black, so I won't replace the mesh.
TRD carbon fiber rear license plate garnish. Also did myself, I love how it looks on my white car.
January
SRT Intake from Dr. Rick. Jazziz did the install. Took him like 2 1/2 hours in 30 degree weather (thanks dude). I CANNOT peel out anymore (foot on brake, other foot on gas). So I KNOW I lost low end power. But high end, Me and my friend did the same run on the same highway and I topped out at 130mph, he topped out at 115mph. That is a 15mph difference!
February
Espiler shocks (GS4Will) and L-tuned Springs. It REALLY dropped the front end, 1.7" in the front. The rear IMO did not drop as much as advertised but it is lower than stock. The car with the Sways is like a different car. Nuff said.
I was thinking of going with Gunmetal wheels, but after this pics, I have a newfound appreciatness for my wheels. The same Weds Bit has.
Other mods are:
Clear corners (the second to post em here, after DiamondWhite)
Yellow fogs (a yellow bulb, almost as intense as the factory green glass).
The chrome shifter trim piece.
Levoc Aluminum pedals (including the dead pedal)
Lexus shoulder pads (nuff said)
Debadged
Borla exhaust ( I HATE THE FIT, but it sounds oh so good with the intake)
Powerslot Cross drilled rotors front
GB slotted/crossed rotors rear (both OEM sized)
What is next? I think black pearl emblems, either a lip or bodykit. Oh, and the yellow panels will be replaced.

This is the nicest white GS I've ever seen. Very tastefully done. What wheels are those and what suspension are you running?
See below for the suspension mini-write-up, wheels are WEDS DP-11 Farmas (something like that). 18x8.5 fronts, 18x9.5 rears.

1sick-
How come the pic in your signature has the car slammed much more than what we're seeing on the pics here? Did you change suspension or photoshopped?
Still admiring the clean lines. I don't know but I kind of like the car more without the side body kit.
