Exclamation What does TOMS mean? Answer inside and OFFICIAL TOMS thread

T achi O iwa M otor S port, named for the two founders.
1974 Tom's Co. Ltd. was founded by Nobuhide Tachi, a former Toyota works driver and Kiyoshi Oiwa, who was engaged in sales of performance accessories for motor sports at a Toyota dealership.
Although it was the time when the storm of the depression of an oil crisis is blowing violently at this time, they were the incorporation procedures which paid their attention to the possibilities of motor sports with healthy development of motorization.
The capital is 2 million yen.
The name of TOM'S comes from Tachi Oiwa Motor Sport.

Thanks to Hameed, here are pics of the new TOMS GS....

I love it! Especially the quad exhausts. Is that a GS430 or the hybrid?

Looks like the GS350 AWD lol... you can sorta see an extra badge next to the GSxxx emblem which I can only assume is the AWD emblem. Also, there's no "HYBRID" emblem in the lower rear door so that crosses that option out.

Dang, those oval foglights look cool! So do the wheels at an angle (4th pic)

this might be a repost, but here is the TOM'S Celsior GT (LS430 supercharged I believe) against the Nissan Fuga (Infinity M45), Legacy STI, and Jaguar S Type R:

Here are pics of the Toms S630 Body Kit on a 2nd Gen GS. Hey Mike, if you don't want these 2nd Gen pics in your thread because you only have the new Lexus models body kits, feel free to delete my post and perhaps start another.

This is redgs4's car as I could not find any pics of this kit on the Tom's website. I so badly want this bodykit for my car, but just can't spare the dough right now.
