Default "Brochure" oem stock pictures and OEM accessories: Lexus GS/Toyota Aristo 98-05

Hello Lexus enthusiasts!

Decided to create a thread where we would post pictures of the second GS/Aristo from official brochures, or pictures taken by Lexus/Toyota to for promotion reasons, etc.
It would also be interesting to post GS/Aristo OEM accessories like umbrellas, pens, mugs, credit cards holders and so on.

The idea is that everything should be oem, nothing custom here.

(Example - TTE lip is an official so to say "accessory" so posting a picture of the lip is ok or a picture of the GS with the lip, but the picture is supposed to be taken by Lexus/Toyota officials, not you.)

Hope you get my idea!

I will start with following, please chime in if you have something similar to share! Thank you.

I remember how BALLER the gs was when they first came out in 98 (not to say that they aren't now) but I mean they were the ******! You were hard core jocked if you had one especially modded.

And I even remember when my long time ago ex gf we broke up back in like 2000 and I distinctly remember her saying that she was starting to talk/date another guy who had a gs (in a showoff) kinda way...like look what he's got lol.

Man 10 yrs has gone by so fast and still the 98's look classic classy sexy and up to date modern looking if you keep it clean and in good condition.
