Default New GS430 Owner

Hey Club Lexus name is John, just recently purchased a 01'GS430 I picked it up in California and brought it back to Utah with me. The previous owner has a white GS400 too and says he is on CL, but will see if I run into him on here. I've been lurking around the forum and see their is lots to learn. I'm use to having a turbo vehicle so this is different from what Im use to, but Im loving the car so far.
I've had the car for about two weeks or so now, so far I got the windows tinted, trunk lip this is for now until I can save up for a 3 piece lip wing, Red tails, wheels and tires, full led interior, HID Fog lights clear corners. Still needing a drop to get rid of that nasty gap.




And this is what I had before the GS

Welcome to the club! Looks very nice and clean. Every time I see a car so clean all the crud on my monitor stands out.

Definitely get your LBJ checked if you haven't done so yet. Heck probably best to just replaced them all together.

Welcome aboard! Tail lights look good. Some would prefer the clear bottom but i believe the red makes them unique.
