looks like you did a good job. just switch back to the 400 emblem and you're good.

Great wheels, tint and drop. Very clean. Just a word of advice, like alot have already said, re-badging with something you don't have is bad form, especially with the experts and enthusiasts on here. That's why CL is a top notch forum.

Nice set up, like the drop. Do you have different offsets on your wheels?? Any rubbing issues?

Excellent car with a good first round of mods!

I particularly noticed the exhaust setup and would be very curious to hear a sound clip from outside when you start it up and then drive away under a heavy foot. Can you please shoot a vid and post it up?

Personally I wouldn't put a 430 badge on my GS400, however I don't understand why there are so many comments from so many on here to remove the 430 badge and put back a 400 on it. If it is a question of power or speed, the 430 is not any faster than the 400, so why does it matter so much? Is the rest of the car that different from a 400?

I don't think so.

Just relax folk and enjoy the pics!

clean set up, its modest but noticeable. 18"s usually look too small on the gs imo but in this case they match with your other mods and they look just right. It might have something to do with the car being black?

Correct badging is the way to go, dont be ashamed of what model your car is cause its sweet regardless!
