Default New to the Lexus Scene/Synergy001 build thread...

Wassup everyone my name is Ro and I'm new to the Lexus scene. I just picked up my first GS350 a couple weeks ago. It's a 2008 AWD and it only had 38k miles on it. I love the car and not sure why I never bought one a long time ago. I have been into cars since back in '92. I first owned a couple of EH (EG to some) hatchbacks, a Benz W203, 07 Avalanche which I put a 9" lift kit and 20's with 35" tires and now onto the Lexus. I will be using this thread as my build thread as well. I recently changed the wedge bulbs and tinted it. I also ordered KSport Kontrol Pro coilovers and some 20" wheels, which I am still waiting on both. I look forward to meeting new people on here and learn more about the car. I currently live in the NW so it would be nice to meet some fellow NW members as well. Well here are some pix of the car stock...

Replaced the 194 bulbs but will be switching to LED's since these lights can barely be seen with the headlights on...

Thanks brotha. I wanted some wheels already so I went with the Stance Wheels SC-8 in Matte Silver Machine 20x9 F and 20x10.5 R. I liked the way they looked on the new GS they have them on so I'm hoping they look great on the 3rd Gen as well. My next set of wheels will be ISS Forged. I just found out a couple of my friends are good friends with the owner of ISS Forged and can get me a good deal on them. I just couldn't wait 4 weeks for them to get made so the Stance Wheels will do for now. Here is a pic of the wheels on the new GS. They are Slate Gray but I wanted to go with the Matte Silver Machine instead...

Thx I hope to meet some PNW members some day. I go to Seattle once in a while. If you guys ever have a meet up there let me know maybe I can make it. I didn't know as well about K Sport until I went to get a quote at a local shop for coilovers...
