It's pretty clean, the only thing I see WRONG is the 430 badges when it's advertised as a 400.

The chrome is not in my taste, the trunk looks clean, the rear door molding is kinda tacky, and the extra fogs I don't like.

Never ceases to amaze me. The crap they make for cars, no matter how expensive the car is, and that people actually buy the stuff.

Damn! That price is crazy, I need to put my 99 GS400 on ebay if a 98 with 110 000 miles is selling for that much

Did anyone else notice the 2 different badges on the C-pillar?

The car is too much for me. I wouldn't knock it, but I wouldn't do half that stuff. I'm not a fan of the rebadging to 430 either, that qualifies as lame in my books.

thats what I mean, after all I love the car since im baised. But he went a little crazy on the chrome.

I didnt notice the rebadged 430, maybe i was to busy looking at the chrome tailights. But also he has like 4 fog lights, while I have seen much worse kits, car just has too much for me. I couldnt agree more tho, to each his own. I just have a hard time believing that the car is going for 17.5 k, someone could get a 430 for that much, and with that mileage probably a 430 with wheels and fixed up pretty decently.

and NExtourer was the only one that noticed the car has no interior shots!!!!!

Looks like Lextasy and Peps had a sell on accessories.
My GS in better nicer shape and I only got 11-12k for it a while back. I would like to know if the bidder actually pays up.

I guess thats what you call overly done... The wheels look pretty good but there is such a thing as to much accessories and chrome... Good Luck to the buyer who ever that nay be...

I could never stand chrome around the rear lights. I know they have this for my RX300, but every time I see it, it just says tacky to me.
