Default New Car Every Year

Must be nice, actually must be a pain in the @%%, after customizing it like you have done,I don't get why someone would need to go buy a new GS if you already have a nice one and customized it to your liking......strange but whatever floats your boat, just pick a nice color.........

... how much are you spending to get all these mods on and off every year? That's crazy, IMO

Default Changing cars like underwear!

Guys 00lex explained his rationale for switching cars annually a while back, it involved him having a dealers license and values, etc etc

hey 00lex, since you change so often, just get a GS400 this time and buy a supercharger kit for it! (that way I can buy it next fall!! LOL)

thanks d for explaining it, but this is the first time i have uninstalled i=stuff. this was my first lex. i came from a c5 vette to this, i sold the vette with all 4 12's in it as well as all the other mods. i have sold all my cars fully decked out, but my next car will be on a new level.... just wait and see, (wont compare to dgots beauty but maybe close), but i will have a few tricks up my sleeve. also i needed about 20k in cash to buy a few investemnt houses and since i pay cash for everything i buy it makes it wasy to get the MONEY....

The Ultimate GS, what you should plan:

Start with a plain, high mileage well maintained GS3

1. Engine: I know you said that you missed the power of your C5 vette, Supra TT Engine with 6-speed Manual Transmission. Deck that baby out with a single turbo kit with a T88, 6-spd and custom everything. I know since you live in florida Toyomoto can do the swap for you.
2. Wheels: Pick yourself a nice set of HRE's, nice deep dish 20's staggered set-up with custom widebody fenders putting yourself some nice 9 inch in the front, 11.5 inch wide in the back.
3. Body: You pick, each person has they're own opinion on what looks good and all. I would personally pick the full Lsportline kit with front, rear, and side skirts from Lsportline, A Veilside exec rear spoiler, and the roof spoiler of your choice. Veilside hood, and whatever else you want.
4. System: I don't know if you are keeping your Alphasonic system, but If not, here is my dream system:

3 13" W7's, 2 JL 1000/1 amps, Focal top of the line Utopia's running on two nice JL 300/2 amps. For the headunit, I would get the new Alpine touchscreen DVD unit that is coming out in a couple months, the Alpine F1 status EQ, then get custom headrests made with some giant kenwood 8.5" touchscreen headrests. Get some alpine screens in the visors,
5. Interior: Get some custom two-tone leather, real clean though, nothing too gaudy. If you want, do a custom fiberglass dash, I saw that on a supra and it looks real slick if your not going with a gaudy color.
6. Suspension: Go with some nice Tein's of your choice and then deck out the rest with some strut braces and sways, the whole nine yards on the suspension
7. Lighting, I know you had a killer lighting system on your old car, so go that same with with a boatload of neons and all that.

Can't think of any other aspects of the car I'm missing but that would be my dream GS
