Default BOS8 Presents: The GS Showcase

This year's event will be GS "themed" to usher in the new direction of Lexus and welcome a new GS to the Lexus family. To commemorate this, Fremont Lexus will be offering test drives in the new GS!! Its definitely one you want to test out!!


In following with this theme, a few old school and new school GS cars have been gathered for display at BOS.

Several of these member cars have been with ClubLexus for many years, but some of them are very rare to see at meets. This is a rare opportunity to see this collection of cars in one place and you’ll get to meet the owners as well. These GS owners alone, collectively have over 40 years experience modding the GS. Feel free to tap their knowledge and advice at BOS8.

A GS car being displayed in the Showcase will be announced on a regular basis.

CL member since 2003

The FIRST 2GS with the full Junction Produce line up of products in the USA.

This was also the FIRST Lexus on record to have an Air Suspension in NorCal.

Talk about a ground breaking car. It was ahead of its time !

Here’s a vid of a demo of the air suspension at EOS #3 waaaay back in 2003:

GS Trilogy

"Dune"

CL member since 2009

As his screen name says, this CL member has not 1 but 3 GS cars in his stable !

ALL GS 1ST GEN, 2ND, GEN & 3RD GEN

ALL BLACK

ALL with highly detailed paint jobs

ALL Tastefully modded

You will rarely find such a pristine set of cars

These three cars will have a special showcase location directly on the Showroom floor.




This 1st Gen pic was taken TODAY. It will be coming straight out of the paint shop. Looks like it's going down to the wire to get this done by this Sunday. Fingers Crossed





The 2nd Gen has a complete custom one off body kit, with custom LS exhaust, Brembo Brakes and air suspension.








The 3rd Gen comes with another rare body kit that has been painstakingly modified for OEM fitment. All I can say is cleannnnnn!

So there you have it. The entire GS showcase will be on display in a dedicated parking area and also the Show room floor.



This may be the LAST time this rare group of GS cars will ever be displayed at a show in one place and at one time.








We regret to inform everyone that due to the BOS re-schedule, lightwave76 will not be able to make it, due to a previous committment..
