Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I am going to be including scanned archives of all Lexus brochures on the site. If anyone has any GS brochures please give me a shout so we can get them scanned and uploaded. Thanks!

Tom from Lexus of Portland graciously provided many Lexus brochures for me to scan and make available. The following years will soon be scanned for the Lexus GS: 1995, 1998-2003, 2005-2008.

I am still looking for anyone that has the years 1993-1994, 1996-1997, 2004. Thats five brochures still needed to complete this archive. If anyone wanted to contribute, I would be more than happy to have someone buy a brochure on eBay and send it to me. I would scan it and then mail the brochure to the buyer (if they wanted). Let me know.

Hehe... well, I started trying to image the 95 LS400 brochure today. Wow. There are so many foldouts, reverse foldouts, half-pages and full spreads that I quickly got frustrated. Then I whipped out the 10Megapixel Digital SLR thinking that I could just photograph it instead... but the pages are so glossy that I couldn't get shots without the glare washing the information out. Whew.

So it will be back on the scanner for about an hour. I should have these ready sometime next week.

I just added a 1993 GS commercial to the archive. Visit the site to view it.

Hey Boys,
My '95 GS Touring is 051 Pearl White over ??? Silver. GREAT info and detail on the 051
White bought both touch ups required, but it's the bottom half that needs attention now. What code is the Silver on the '95?
Just got her out of the garage after a tough winter here in KC MO. Wash & close inspection of finish prior to full exterior detail.
Any added info very helpful.
Thanks, mbhandball

Hm its either one of the following:

178 Silver Metallic Clearcoat
UCA75 Gray Metallic Clearcoat

Try checking the door jam. Mine lists 202 for Black Onyx

If it is 051 Diamond White Pearl, I have a gut feeling the bottom is more like 199 Alpine Silver Metallic.

Thanks Y'all,
178, UCA78, or 199. It's a pretty light silver, I'm going to guess the later.

AND while detailing my RARE '95 Touring wheels I noticed some pits from PO glued weights
that need attention as well. Can they be remedied with built-up paint?
Thanks to those who weighed in!
