Hello all! I just bought a 2001 Crystal White GS300, I love it.....roomy, tons of luxury features, and pretty fast compared to the car I had brfore it. I have a couple questions that i'm sure have already been addressed in this forum, sorry. One, I would like to get REAL HID lights for my car, I love the look and two what would be a good exhaust upgrade? Where would I purchase and how much? On a side note my heart goes out to those affected by yesterdays events........

welcome to the club man!

You should've gotten the HIDs from Lexus when you bought the car to save the trouble but you can always get HID kits. They run about 500 dollars, +/- 50~100. If you're going to get a kit, get either PIAA or Philips. They're name brands .

Exhaust, it depends on what type you like. Big tip /small tip /oval tip /dual tips? Loud /quiet /rumble/blast? Give some criterias and we'll help you out.

The Borla Exhaust sounds like what I'd be interested in....quiet and nothing too flashy. Is there a particular web site I sound check out? Also where would I begin to look for PIAA or Phillips HID kits?

Hey 1SICKLEX
Hope this isn't a dumb question, but if you get the HID bulbs that look identical to the conversion then what is the point of getting the conversion? I dont know much about this but maybe you can enlighten me.
