Hey guys! I'm not 100% sure where this should go, still trying to get used to this forum. My name is Stephen and I just bought another members 2001 GS430. I am very pleased with the vehicle and for it to be a 2001, I am highly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship that Lexus (Toyota) puts in to the vehicles. Anyways, I am a new Lexus owner, and just want to give a decent intro. The car has just a few mods. Nothing too crazy. Megan suspension with custom spring rates, molded TTE lip. Custom y pipe back exhaust. 19x10.5 and 19x11.5 SSR Vienna wheels. Window tint. Shaved spoiler. Junction produce curtains. Few other things. I have some plans for the car, but want to keep it pretty much the same as it sits. The clear is peeling from the faces on the wheels, not really killing me, but I do want to color match the faces to the body and keep the polished lips.

I am so lucky to even own this car. I saw the wheels for sale on Craig's list, and hit the guy up asking if he would want to sell the entire car. Man I lucked out!

If you are not a big fitment/stance fan go on and hit the back button. Proceed at your own risk!

A few pics.

This was at the Lexus dealer that the other member worked at, first time seeing the car.

Thanks so much guys! It's got 145k on the clock. It's in seriously good shape. I paid 11k for it. Which I felt was a comfy price for me to pay. I love the aggressive fitment. I will however be raising the car a bit until I go air ride.
