Dreams really do come true....
Dreams really do come true....
I have great news to announce. I am finally an owner of a 1st generation GS300. I call her Genesis. I've been a member of clublexus for a 3 years; I'm happy to be a lexus owner. I've attached some photos. I hope everyone is able to see them. It's black in color. The chassis has 180,xxx miles on it. It has a JDM engine with 78000 miles. It's overall in good condition. The car is lowered on Megan coil overs. The car is a little low for my taste. I'm going to have it raised. When I drive i hear rubbing. It sounds like it's coming from the rear tires.
I'm very conservative when it comes to mods that I want to make. I really just want to get the car close to stock as possible. The guy I purchased the car from planned on doing an LS brake upgrade. I have a set of chrome OEM rims that I want on the vehicle. He informed me if I wanted to perform the upgrade, I would have to change the rims. So that's no longer in the picture. I plan on adding some HID's very soon. Any recommended brands?
Problem areas:
- Window trim around the driver side is coming off.
- The trim around the shifter, driver and passenger are peeling.
- The car has a couple of dents and some rust on the rear passenger fender. I plan on getting it painted soon.
- The cupholder is broken. Don't be fooled by the picture.
I'm so happy to have her in my life!

Thanks! I don't have any plans to change the suspension. But if something changes I will let you know.

Update....
I purchased an HID Kit and yellow fog light bulbs a couple months ago. I stopped being lazy and finally installed both of them. I am pleased with the outcome. I wish the fog light bulbs were a deeper yellow. I have Putco installed. Can anyone recommend another brand with a richer, deeper yellow. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. I will load a better picture. I really want to clear the corners; I have reservations about resealing the lights. I don't want condensation in the headlight.. That's my only reservation.

I've done the clear process many times and never had an issue. There is a guy on the sti forum that has a great writeup I think its for a 06 sti. Either way bake each unit for 12mins on 225° then carefully pull them apart, remove the orange part then if they are still warm rebake it for 6-8mins and press it back together real good. All you really need is a couple screwdrivers just take your time and I cleaned mine inside once it was apart.
Diodedynamics. com sells a switchback bulb so it'll match your headlight for the side marker then turns amber during turn signal. Looks great and legal.
