Cool PHX-GS430 vehicle photo thread

Hello all!

So, I promised I'd get some photos up of my wife's ride. Here are a few. As you can see, it's basically all stock. Upgrades will be small and long in coming until the wife can find employment.

Just wanted to create a place to save and share photos of the car. Enjoy!

Black 2001 Lexus GS 430

Nice clean car but I never understood the point of posting pictures of a car that's basically stock. We all know what they look like we drive the same thing. Not singling you out, I've just been noticing it so much on the forum.

I can understand your thoughts. It's just that most times, when a member is new, they are asked to share some photos.

I know there really isn't anything different to show here that hasn't already been seen, but this is a good way to show progress when changes are made.

Everything looks nice except that wood steering wheel. Go ahead and send it to me and I will send you back a proper looking non-wood one.

nice ride.

Right now, the only two things are tinted windows probably around 20% and a new sub, that ML sub doesn't do anything. I am very disappointed that for an 8" or 10" speaker it sounds so lacking. I thought this was supposed to be a premium sound system!

I know, No worries, just wanted to explain why the post.

yeah, all that wood grain crap needs to go, replaced by cheap plastic inserts! J/K! I love the look!

Gotta be nice to the wife here, she checks out the posts herself too once in a while. We'll see about getting a couple photos up to put faces with the member name.

As for my ride, I just started a thread over in the Car Chat section with a link. It is a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special.
