What's up guys,
I'm going to be getting a 2001 gs300 in the burnished gold.

My color schemes going to gold and black, for now. I plan on getting black wheels (been looking at Vossens). And I'm also going to plastidip all the emblems black and anything that's not black yet. The future color I'm looking at is the anthracite grey. Basically I'm going to plastidip the entire car in that color and possibly use the glossifier.

I'm just looking for anyone's thoughts on my plans.

Thanks guys.

I've always wanted to do the black out roof on mine but could never find any pics of a Burnished Gold variant with it done, anymore pics of yours Rayne?? Looks awesome!

Here's my AUS delivered 98 GS300. The wheels are 18" replica that came on the car when i bought it and I plan to change them, in the photos its stock ride height but I've now installed Tanabe DF210 springs so ill try and get some updated photos.

Have lots of plans for it, so far I've done tint, exhaust, springs, interior lighting upgrade and plan to do TTE lip, front grill upgrade, new wheels, window visors, boot/roof spoilers and most likely more.

I've also just purchased a pair of Genuine 01-05 rear tailights off eBay in Australia for $140AUD! Can't wait to install them!

Which cars had the headlight washer option? I had an idea to incorporate it into the new aero we are building but I would rather use factory units.

Finally on air

Im not gonna use the tank, going for a stealther plan.




Gonna get some suspension mods to make it fit the way i want =)


my pancake tank finally came in!



the GS is lucky to come with a fullsized spare wheel, however, with the brake upgrade, it also meant the spare doesnt even fit anymore!


mock up and test fit of the tank, compressor, and valveblock, aka, the chinese torture device on the left side.




Time for the appointment!

I dragged curtis from his 240LS build to put my system in, one new strut is in!


You would be insane to drive like this, thank gawd i dont. Its only for looks.


shameless plug

SorrGwa, love that pancake tank and the spare tire location is a perfect place to setup. I will definitely go this route if I decided to get bags. I don't want to be low all the time.

have had the car back for a few days now. only got to drive it a few times and play around with the system. basically the tank at 190psi goes to about 150 psi from one fill of the struts. the compressor kicks in and takes about 4mins to fill the tank back up to 190psi (thats the pressure sensor set at.

now realizing how big the spare tire well is. i may decide to go to 2 smaller 3 gallon tanks. and picking up a 2nd compressor. (as was originally suggested by my technician whom works on domestic lowriders)

but ill try this set up for now.
