Nice scenic shots!! The GS looks mint, as always, and the great backdrop makes from some excellent shots!

Thought I'd update, here's how the GS400 looks now. I've since added a set of coilovers, intrax sway bars, L-Tuned side skirts, RMM grille, a replica (I know) TTE lip, '06-07 GS350/430 wheels, a 2003 SportDesign steering wheel, and a SportDesign steering ECU. Now, am I just crazy, or do I miss how the car looks in the pictures of yesteryear?

Also currently on the hunt for a set of L-Tuned OZ Salinas!

Tony, the pics I posted above are to update others and show the contrast between how it looked when this thread was originally posted, to how it looks now.

Not crazy at all. A stock GS400 with 17s look clean and timeless. I can't complain about the mods you've done so far but sometime to many mods can throw off the look and backfire.

Btw I think the next mod should be to remove the spoiler which I think looks a bit dated now. It would look so much cleaner imo

I appreciate the comments. I keep going back in forth on which look I like more, but I do enjoy having rare parts on the car. I'd also like to keep the spoiler on there for the reversibility factor, if/when I return to the car to its previous state.

Agreed! Wouldn't have it any other way!


But on another note, I may re-install the '01+ grille to give the car a better OEM v. mods balance.

I agree, the wheels flow so well with the car they look stock. with the grille and lip it looks like an unfinished project.

Clean gs

Good point. I'll remove the RMM grille for now and will reinstall it when I find a set of wheels.

Loving the updates! I think your car has a really clean OEM+ look.

I also think itll look better with the 01+ grille.

Parker's GS is naturally progressing..

The only way to not mod a GS, is to have two of them.. lol
