Just saw this thread. Careful, I might beat you to it I have been planning this for a while now and will be ready to do it within the next few months. Just currently gathering parts....

I bought my spectra blue 98' back in Dec. Of 2000. I was looking at newer ones but fell in lust with it. I swore I wouldn't touch it but by New Years I dropped it on 20's and by next Dec. Installed a L Sportline body kit. 190000 miles and it's still going. This year it's goin back to the paint shop and getting an engine and interior swap.

His car is a V8! If you haven't seen some of his cars, you can check out these two here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...lue-gs400.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...and-gs400.htmlWhen it comes to clean modified cars, he's the man for it. He happens to own two of DaveGS4's old ride. Here it is next to CarbonGS's and my supra.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...meet-pics.html

Did you see the remaining links that I just added? He has three second gen GS's. In atlanta, people know him as Mr. Lexus! The guy owns alot of lexus man. I personally have a Burnish Gold GS300 that has a custom sc'd on it. But mine is not the show type but more go type. i.e. BBK, custom coilovers, wheels and tires etc...

It's at your typical shady dealer. I'd never buy a car from a dealer like that, only private party. LALEX, the black is going to look sharp with the blue! Wish I didn't have tan. Still going to look 10x better than it does now though.

It will definitely look way better. I'm tired of black. Too many black cars out there.
