Here is my build thread. Named her Bertha because she's big and black and ever since I slapped on the coilovers and rims the name just popped in my head

Started out as a stock 2003 Gs300 , took me more than 2 years to find one here in Vancouver BC . Bought it in the summer of 2012 . Drove her stock for 2 years and did all the necessary maintenance like brakes,oil change , timing belt and water pump. A friend of mine works as a mechanic at Lexus so he takes care of this bad bish for me.

I started collecting parts early this year.
* Megan lps
* tires
*work eurolines 19x8.5 19x10
* moog ball joints
* Figs front tie rod ends








Bought a set of Work Eurolines 19x8.5 and 19x10 offsets are pretty weak but it's all I can find locally.








Tires came 225s and 245s





Decided to DIY the curbs since they were very minor. Stripped the clear and paint.



Got a set of Megan LP's , moog ball joints and here she is.








Need to get my TTE lip painted and installed

looking good and clean...

very clean, is that paint original? looks super glossy in the pictures. I have an 03 as well and my paint isn't nearly in as good of condition as yours (due to arizona sun).

Thanks TMF2004, Chankeye and armanitran. --- It is original paint, Bertha only looks like that after the wash and wax soap I use.

Looks good man. I kind of like the fishbowl windows on a black car. Shows off the lines more. Nice headlights too

Hey thats the Rona Parking lot on Gilbert Looking good so far. Nice to see another GS in Vancouver. Too bad you bought your tires already. I work at the 1010tires on Marine.

what is a fishbowl window?

Fishbowl just means leaving the windows light enough to see through them like a "fishbowl" lol
