For my 4k Post.......


Well as most of you have noticed I have been absent from the GS forum for a while.... ......well....I'm back and I've got some shots of the new project toy that was unveiled at the QSL meet a few weeks ago.....

Let me know what you think.......









And to keep it on topic.....

my GS baby rolling on 17's now...



Group Shot....

KevinGS

Lookin' good to me. A nice collection of Lexuses there.

Great group shot of the 4 GSs.

I think the one body mod I want is a front lip. I think the profile and rear look good on the GS without any bodywork, but the front lip seems to really finish the car off nicely. Nothing dramatic either, just something to finish off the lower front area.

Wow, congrats, but why the switch??

KevinGS

Does anyone know what body kit is on the black GS4 in the group shot.

I want a simple front straight spoiler. Nothing flashy, just something to finish off the front lip. And the one on that black GS looks quite clean and simple. And that's what I want.

Can anyone tell me who makes that kit/lip?

Let'sRide, can you find out for me?

Letsride

Thanks guys....

Paul in the ultimate quest for a streetable machine that handles like its on rails.....I opted to try out the IS.

BTW this is a 5sp Manual..... Some of my parts are on, some on the way and a whole lot of documentation as changes are made.

Suspension and brakes are up first.

The car is now sporting drilled and vented front rotors (rear are here but not installed). A few braces are also on the way......

Letsride

Kevin its a TTE front lip and its on DaveGS4's car....

Paul BTW my wife has taken over the GS....ask Dave

KevinGS

Dave? Dave who? DaveGS4?

Dave, where'd you get that TTE lip!!!???

Thanx, Ride.

Letsride

Kevin....easy answer....Steve at Carson Toyota....one of our sponsors here. The TTE lip is the perfect addition to the stock front bumper....

KevinGS

Perfect. Thanks, Ride.

I was just doing a search on TTE lips too. LOL I see that AbFlug makes one too, MUCH more expensive though.

I will try and wait 'til my birthday, January 2nd...but man, I want it NOW. LOL Finishes off the front lip perfectly, IMO.

I may not be able to wait. The profile and rear look fine to me, but the front just needs that lip. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! What to do, what to do...

You already got the answer L-tunedparts.com / Carson.

My lip is also molded into the front (I've ripped it off a couple of times so my bodyshop guy got a lot of practice) so it looks a little smoother than most. More pics here.

Back on topic of Letside's GS (or rather, his wife's GS ) HE has done an amazing job of integrating the Aristo rear sunshade that I originally got for my GS into his ride. The Lexus tech guys I asked to install it advised that I not put it in due to the excessive splicing, etc that would be required to make the JDM part fit, but I knew that anybody that could pioneer putting a Nav setup into a non-Nav car (like Letsride did) could also do a sunshade. I was glad to see I was right, this is so cool

Take a look, very neat stuff:




And a couple of short video clips:

Cool, huh?

is the location of the base of the rear shade different from that of the jdm setup?

Letsride

No!! Its the same location as the Aristo......

oh it's the same? opps, my bad. somehow i thought it's all the way at the back on top of the rear deck light

Letsride

Yes...this is the real thing. When I first saw it I also though it went right at the base of the rear window but the mounting points definitely have it located at the seat.

If anyone get the unit be prepared to spend some time making a harness.....

damn i am jealous... wish i could have the brains and patience to go through with the wiring... the sun shade is seriously the mod that would like the most as of yet..
