Hi from the UK

Just got myself a 2003 GS430 Sport after selling my Legacy GTB...

She is silver with grey leather and black trim And has a couple of modifications...

HSD coilovers
Blitz NUR spec exhaust
Angel eye projector headlights
Supra TT Front brakes
Supra TT LSD
Black roof
TTE front lip and rear spoiler
18in Lexus/OZ wheels on staggered spacers

Some pics...





She currently has the standard 'premium' lexus audio (which is surprisingly good!!) But I'll be changing to a carPC set up come summertime

Thanks,
Mark

2. That weird Camel color and tan
3. Platinum
4. I just replaced all the speakers with JL audio 6.5, Alpine 4-way amp and a 12" JL audio sub.
(I'm happy lol)
5.All stock, except for the headlights and tail lights which I got from Ebay, Such a shame I know.. BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO RETROFIT ATM
6. 2 owner car (I'm second) Owned by a Lexus Dealership owners daughter, always garage kept and always maintained by the same dealership since 2001!!!!!! also only pushing 103,000 miles! now instead of awing over Toyota Supras, I awe over GS's, and SC's, and LS's, the whole shabang. (even what I consider the GS's Bigger brother the LX470 <3)
7. Houston, Texas is where I reside.
8. Pictures (I know they're bad )









Also, My old WJ jeep (you will be missed..)

10.5 rear is fine with just a shave. you can do even wider but more custom work would need to be done. a few are running 11 to 12" wide

Thanks but i can't take credit for the work done, last owner did all that.

I'm just going to try and improve on what he has done and fix a few issues that he seems to have created or not bothered to sort.

Then I'm going to crack on with the audio

Thanks,

Well, I'm in the process of of putting hydraulics on my gs just waiting on my kit to show up, then after that it goes in for paint an bodywork, that will prob be it for this year lol. Plus I ended up picking up a 98 gs400 for the wife to drive since she loved my gs300, so I'll swap my coilovers from mine to her's since I won't be needing them on mine.
