Hey, congrats! That is silver correct? What options besides the chrome wheels did your car come with? Also curious, how much did you pay? We just bought a 98 GS4 and it should be arriving by wednesday of this week Our car has 33,000 miles...and was a great find for us too!

Thanks guys, the car has HIDs and the Nak stereo and the rear spoiler. I didnt want to get one with nav because i plan on going aftermarket. That and the nak system sounds a bit better Grand total was $25,000. Not the cheapest car I found but DEFINATELY the best deal. its just so clean

HI! Thats really cool. ...curious how did you find yours? We ended up finding ours on autotrader. Ours doesnt have the spoiler and it doesnt have the factory chrome rims. Ours does have the factory hid, nakamichi, moonroof, etc..but no nav either. The best thing was the mileage...33,000 miles... we got ours for 22,500. I very very good deal.

I already bought the front bumper clears, the jdm aristo tailights and have the jl 12w7 w/ jl 500.1 amp ready for the install when it arrives

Congrants Jeff!!!

Nice pics. My 99 GS400 is the same color with the same options you have! Welcome to ClubSpending.com otherwise known as ClubLexus.com!!!

The fact that you are posting on here, means that you will start modding your car and will never stop!!! The fun never ends!

As Paul suggested, first mod the suspension and then rims. Those two mods make the most difference to the cars appearance and handling - so dramatic is the change in apperance and handling, you will think you have a completely different car!!! All good too!!
