hey guys thought i start up a fresh thread for my build continuing from/previously....
now i know that some of the pics are broken links and it is because i deleted them off my facebook so ill repost them here

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ler-lol-2.html

so quick timeline of where i started with, how and why i got my gs300

as some of you might know that my last car was an s2000 now before i got that car i was debating if i wanted to go down the vip route with a 2nd gen Gs or get an s2k because ever since i was a little boy when the s2ks came out i have always dream of owning one but when i finally got the chance to own one after a year maybe less i was ready to call it quits and one of my reasons was due to the number of honda thieves growing, i didnt want to deal with taking the car anywhere like the mall etc and being paranoid every second the other reason was because i needed more room to haul around my dj equipment and girls ; ) anyways the car is gone but i will always miss it maybe one day i plan to pick up another s2k or maybe replace it with a lotus who knows, one day.........

now journey of the Gs....

-SPECS-
-98 gs300
-alpine silver
-clean title
-190k (plans for a swap in the works)
-grey interior (plans to reupholster to black int)
-virgin unmodded, unmolested all oem, factory, stock everything

purchased from a old guy 3 hours aways from me and now here is where the pics start, starting from the day i first got it (5 months ago) to present

Know what pre-load you're at? And what click you have the BC's set to?

handoverfi Aug 8, 2012 04:24 PM

polish the headlights then do a retro, get a 01 grill and dyi chrome it, chrome handles and truck bar, shave the eblums but the L,depo taillights, ls400 brake upgrade, front and rear rcas and adjustable toe arms, and you will be good.

and dont tint the tails, and dont waste your money on alot of vip acessories light curtains, pads tables or fusa, if budeget allows it get a wald kit or a tte lip rep of course!!

2GSC300 Aug 8, 2012 08:55 PM

Weren't you going to change the color of the car?

Gbrewer Aug 8, 2012 09:11 PM
