Default I'm back!

I'm back. Not that I was a huge contributing part of this forum before, but you guys helped me out a bunch, many times. I sold my green 1998 Lexus GS400 so that I could buy a big truck, which I have always wanted. Then I decided I still needed a daily driver, so I was actually thinking about getting a new Chrysler 300C. But, out of the blue, the guy that bought my Lexus offered it back to me at a $4000 loss! He said he was too afraid to drive it becuase of the window tint, lowering, and didn't want to scrape the wheels. Needless to say I jumped on the deal, and now I am back. After a good detailing I will post some pics for everyone of my car. I never did before after everything was done. Here is a list of what I have done so far, to re-introduce myself:

1998 Lexus GS400 Jade Green Paint with the following:
Green tinted windows
01+ Chrome Sport Design Grill
L-Tuned Shocks
Espellir Springs 1.9" drop in front, 1.2" drop in the back
19x8.5/19x10 SSR GT3 Silver w/ Polished Lip
245-35-19 / 275-30-19 Bridgestone Potenza SO3
L-Tuned Side Skirts
L-Tuned Sport (Blue) Sway Bars front and back
HID Headlights AND Foglights
Smoked Taillights
Rear Spoiler (OEM)
Chrome Trunk bar
Stereo System consists of:
JL Amps (2) 300/2 and (1) 500/1
Focal Speakers inside
JL W6 in the trunk

Pics to come, good to be back!

-Chris

Yeah, I didn't realize I liked her so much til she was gone. Just now on my way back from lunch a stupid Honda reved up next to me and took off. So I gunned it and embarassed him. Not that a Honda is a challenge, but man I still have a smile on my face

The TRD Racing is blue (stiffer of the two) and the TRD Sportivos are white.
