Default Saying Hello

I have been lurking for a few weeks now. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have a 98 GS400. It is pretty much stock for the time being as it is my daily driver. My project is a homemade turbo system for my 89 Civic Hatchback. I am about halfway through it right now. Anyway, back to my Lexus. Here are a few pictures of it.

Stock(day 1)


Day 5


Day 30 - In the bodyshop for a shopping cart incident and rock chips (door ding in the picture above)






That is all for now. I am really looking forward to adding suspension, brakes, exhaust, etc... in the near furture.

Apparently they had to remove the tailights to get the rear bumper facia off.

Hehe, yeah. My Honda's license plate is actually "beater", so that is where my screen name comes from.

What up Nick.. Representing L-Town I see.. I'm at KU too. Do you have any stickers on your back window? College of Engineering perhaps? I parked near a silver GS like yours in the Burge lot one day during finals.. Dont remember too much about it, had a decent lip on the back and wood kit on the dash, thats all I remember.
Glad to finally see someone else in my town on here

Thats the one. I hated parking in that lot but I was late for a final. Im not really a fan of the wood dash but its staying on.
