Hello everyone. My name is Tony Nguyen AKA CarbonGS and I have been on CL since 2005. Here's my build on my 2001 GS300.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...en-to-now.html



Just sold my pickup truck and got this 1993 GS300 as is.

A pic of her in the ad I saw



Brought her home



She has 180k on the odometer/chassis and 85k on the Japanese spec motor.

Exterior
JDM Front Bumper
JDM Front Grill Chrome
JDM Rear Tail Lights and Aristo Garnish

Shoes/Suspension
19" Gunmetal Privat Wheels
BC Coilovers

Interior
Custom Seats with Ostrich Leather Inserts

I.C.E.
Viper Alarm/Remote Start 2 Way Paging System
Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
Rydeen Mini Reverse Camera

I've got great plans for her. Keeping her as my daily so it will be fairly practical. Stance will probably stay where it is. She clears speed bumps easily now and she rides very nice. Future plans include 2JZGTE head (which I happen to have chilling in the basement), roof spoiler, rear spoiler, double din radio with bluetooth, backup camera, custom hood, paint, supra tt brakes, etc...

Let's see where this one takes me. Looking forward to learning more about this generation GS and meeting / talking to the members on here.

P.S. Happy modding

Welcome to the first gen side. Don't have an aristo spoiler, know someone who does, but have the other spoiler option in the same color as your car. PM me if you are interested.

I love your 2GS and, based on that, I am sure you will do a very nice job on the 1GS. I can't wait to see it!

My cup holder is broken and replacing it seems kinda pricey so for now I rigged up the car with this cup holder as well as my phone charger and holder. it will also double as the bluetooth once I get the double din in there
