Default Lurker gone wild. 93 GS300.








Showcasing the deep keymark on my hood. The right side of the vehicle also has a body length keymark.


Rims that came with the car, I haven't been a big fan of them but I seem to get compliments on them.


Sony Double Din, plastidipped ashtray, still need to do the shifter woodgrain.




New here, been lurking since I got her in September of last year. Right now she is super dirty. Haven't had the chance to get her washed since I just got out of the Army and was busy moving.

$2,000 1993 GS300- Had 186k Miles when I got her, now at 196k

So far i've done:

Flowmaster Super 44 Series Mufflers
Air Intake
JDM Aristo Window Visors
Sony Double Din Head Unit
Alpine Speakers
2 10'' Kicker Subs.

Tanabe DF210 Springs will be here in a matter of days.

I plastidipped the sideview mirrors because they have the only chipped/peeling paint on the whole car. I also plastidipped the window visors.
Currently in the process of plastidipping the interior woodgrain, I am not too into the VIP. I want to make her look sleek and aggressive.

To do soon:
Bodykit, not sold on one yet, but I want something subtle.
Paint
Full Aristo/Toyota Rebadge.
-Debating JDM 3pc Spoiler, depends on the kit I go with.

Distant Future:
Either go NA-T, 2JZGTE or even thinking about a 1UZ swap with a w58. Not looking for super speed with her, she's my daily right now and I want to eventually get another and make her my toy.



So far I am really happy with the vehicle. Before I purchased her I never really noticed this car, I don't remember ever seeing one prior to ownership. I get complements left and right for it especially when I tell them that it's 20 years old. I can't wait to finish her and see what reception it gets.

Dipped the shifter woodgrain. Still some touching up to do around the ECT switch, but I like the feeling of the dark trim more than the woodgrain.

Df210 springs are nice. You'll like them.

My only concern with plastidip is the longevity. It scratches and rubs off easy. Yes you can touch it up but won't look as good the second time around.

Looking good though.
