Hey all! Name's Jerry. Guess I'm part of the club now since I recently picked up a Lexus. Coming from the honda game, I gotta say that Lexus is on a whole different level of comfort.

I was mainly searching for a black on black color combination, but accidentally came across this rare color combination that I could not pass up. It is a 2003 GS300 Sport Design in Graphite Grey Pearl with Black leather interior. Being the 2nd owner of this car was also a bonus. Interior and exterior is in pristine condition.

Some mods for the future will include:
-Debadge (Should I? They're black pearl emblems. Looks great)
-Coilovers
-19" Wheels
-OEM Window Visors
-Paint the inner part of the front grill black
-Change all interior lights to LED

Here are some pics as of now as I will need to save up money for parts (Broke College Student =/ )





I look forward to sharing ideas with you guys

Welcome to the club...Sweet ride. Looks just like mine except for the different color leather.
I personally like the black pearl badges.

Your GS is very clean, welcome to the board!!

As for the emblems, I removed all but the "L" which I'm still tempted to remove. I favor simplicity.. Anyway here's a visual for you to decide what you want to do on yours:



Hope that helps, and sorry to intrude with a picture of my car.

Thanks guys! Changed some lights recently...



After seeing that debadged trunk, I think I'm going to do it when I have time. It looks nice and clean!
