Well,
Today I was in the car waiting for gf to come out and thought about CL people wanting to see my Ghetto NON luxury version gs300! so I took some quick shots for you all lol.


see, no sunroof


swede/cloth type door panel inserts

swede/cloth type door panel seats


imo, it's not bad at all. All electric just like the leather seats, has lumbar control and all. It doesn't have the heated seats though.

Well, that's all for now. I've decided to mod it now so when it actually has some mods, I will post up the good pics.

That's what I was thinking when I was checking this car out to get it. It has to be lighter and more solid car without a sunroof.
Not a GTE swap for now since the car only has 70k miles, but GE-T is in my list within couple of months!

This car was originally from VA according to carfax.

just becuas the car doesnt have leather doesnt mean its bad, some ppl dont like leather. and the car still has dual climate control, all auto windows, and auto windows so to me it still has a luxury appeal o and by the way ur missing the center cap on ur right rear tire

first GS ive seen like that. But my uncle ordered his LS without a sunroof way back when. took a couple months for delivery. so im sure who ever was the original owner waited a while for that. good find though.

at least you don't have to listen to the rattling on the cover of the sunroof that the GS is famous for.

nice catch! i noticed after I saw the pics as well. Someone stole it!!!!!!! it was there last week when i washed the car sigh.......

oh well, Just put on new set of wheels today!

Yea, other than leather, it's got all the luxury things like typical gs's. Auto dim rear view mirror, telescoping steering, dual climate control, all auto windows, and etc.........
