Sounds good! Just did a white GS locally so we gotta balance it out with black ha ha.

 

Small update...

DEPO (Insurance Group Style) tail lights installed and the cool RMM carbon fiber engine cover I bought from a CL member just showed up.

Side note: I am finally back in a real house with a real garage! After I get all the boxes and furniture cleaned out of it, I'll get moving on the fender shaving and coilover install.

 

Nice engine cover been trying to find one for months no luck

 

Was seriously about to pick up that cover too, but I stopped myself lol

 

Nice seen that cover in the FS thread

Why do you need a cover you have a aristo ? that cover is for the V8 motor

 

Haha yeah, I saw the pictures of it and thought "Oh that thing is super cool, but probably ridiculously expensive." Then I saw the price listed in the description and I just went for it.

I'm sure it will look great under the hood, especially when I locate an intake and strut bar. There was a GS400 for sale locally that had an SRT intake and RMM strut bar on it. The ad was up on craigslist for FOREVER. I thought about asking the seller if they would trade for stock stuff + cash, but never followed through. It was (very obviously) not a performance-oriented car... Insane audio/video in the trunk, Louis Vuitton interior, 20's, stock suspension, etc., so I figured they would be open to the idea.

Now I have this engine cover, the ad is gone, and I'm kicking myself for not emailing.

 

Yes i know but i was looking for covers just to cover front like where the radiator is at and both sides, kinda how this looks....car belongs to thomas (speed_addict) on IG not sure if hes on the forum

 

Tails look sick! Looks like I know what ones I want for my white GS

 

he is most definitely on here....look at my sig

 

Yes he is on here and you will have to go custom for that

 

I know i would have to, and most likely i will. I will be touching up a few parts in the engine bay so i'll see how that comes out first....

 

So I had always planned to replace the Stance ST-1's on the car, but it was pretty low on my priority list because they are fairly cool looking wheels and not replicas. Last night, however, I discovered that they actually are a replica of the Work Gnosis GS-4.

I am not a fan of replica wheels (based mostly on principle and somewhat on safety concerns), so I took to craigslist to look for a smoking deal...





19x8.5 +32 and 19x10 +38 Vossen CV3's. Checked the wheel stamps and they are authentic! Possibly going on as early as tomorrow, but most likely next week.

 

Fresh kicks!



I think I will be able to go as low as I want without having to do much fender work with this setup, so I am now less reluctant to put the coils on. However, with Red Bull Flugtag this weekend and the resulting hangover, it's going to be at least a week or two.

Also, plans now include:

- Light smoke vinyl on the headlights
- Match chrome body line, window trim, and rear Lexus badge to the wheel color (using vinyl and Plasti-dip, most likely)
- (Possibly) find a matching high-heat paint and paint the exhaust tips to match wheels

 

Those wheels look really good on a GS!

 

WOAH! Those new rims look amazing on the car!!

Keep raising that bar!
