Default Build/Progress Thread on my gs4..

Hey, Im sure ive talk to a few of you in the past few weeks with helping me purchase a GS and answering a bunch of my questions that a simple search could have done. Either way this is going to be my build/progress/picture thread instead of me always making a new one.


Its a 2000 GS4 Platinum Edition (Millennium Silver) (Yes the Delaware one)
Nav
6 disc changer

Here are some pictures from before i picked it up.
As you can see it had the lexus wood dash put in it, pinstripe put on it, and 20inch CHROME. (No chrome 20's for this guy)
Picked her up 3.28.10

I highly recommend deleting your resonators with straight pipes.

Just got mine done yesterday, and I absolutely LOVE it.

Louder, but not too loud. Definitely deeper, has that great sounding "tone" at 3k rpm.
