BLiu,
That is one evil looking GS.. Hmm.. EVIL GS would be a cool personalized plate.. Are you planning to do anything to the taillights.. I've seen a GS up here and the guy looked like he smoked the rear lenses ever so lightly to darken them but not too dark to make it illegal.. Looked pretty cool.. Sorry I didn't have my camera with me when I saw it or I would of taken pics for you.. Anyways GREAT job!!

BRENT!!!
Glad to be of help...That's what I like about this place! everyone is more than willing to help each other!
That looks awesome!!!
man that is a wicked LEX!
Now you need to do what JacobT did and get rid of the chrome trim around the windows, and get them black!

Looks nice Bliu!
Maybe you should look into doing something to your orange sidemarkers.
And imo the 01 tail lights will look very nice on your stealth gs ! They are a bit darker overall, I think it's white reverse-light part is smaller too. Maybe you should look into it.
So is your GS quite enough to match the stealth feeling? I know all Lexuses are quite but since you are after that stealth look, I was wondering if you did other things to make it even quieter than it already is

Thanks Guys for the compliments!
Xsuperjoex: Thanks for the kudos! Now tell us how you did the sidemarkers!
Sasha: Thanks for the compliments...What's left for next year is bigger brakes (ie, Supra brakes), TC, and sways...If a supercharger kit comes out for around 3G then that would be the final mod of all mods! Otherwise, possibly turbos or maybe even a stroker kit.
di60da: I used standard spray primer and paint from Home Depot by Rustoleum.
Gs400TRD: What did JacobT do? I definitely would like to remove the chrome trim around the window. Thanks again for all your help!
nanotech: I think the 01 taillights would look nice OR possibly clearing out the yellow in the current taillight. AND if xsuperjoex would reveal his little DIY mod secret I will most definitely clear the sidemarkers. As for stealth sounding, I think I blew it... because I have both the Greddy exhaust and the SRT intake. The two make the car sound like a loud roaring domestic V8! So I guess I wanted it to look stealth but intimidate with SOUND...The Evil Darth GS4!
Thanks again guys for all the compliments!!!

Hi Brent:
Car is looookking goood! Lowering it really made it more aggressive. With the black grill and dark wheels, your car is really looking stealth! How are you enjoying the SRT HFI/ECU? Pretty amazing sound when you punch it. Looks like you added the STB. With the springs, bilsteins, and STB, your car should be a lot more responsive.
Anyway, your car has really come together, keep up the good work.

Ever think about this B Liu
I think that your car looks very good. I was wondering if you were planning on changing the emblems to the black pearl ones. I have a white gs but i changed the front emblem to the black pearl one. I took off all the rear emblems and replaced the rear "L" with a black pearl one. I have had many compliments. I think it may complete the stealth look. I did see a black gs and silver gs with the black pearl emblems and they looked solid. keep up the good work
