98-00 is CWP and 01-05 is DWP


I believe, or do I have it backwards.

I don't think these cars are in the US. Location of the poster says Brunei, which would explain the antennas on both cars being located on the rear quarter panel, as they are not available like that on US market GS's. Very nice comparo. Can't go wrong with a drop, just depends on how your roads are in Brunei. And bigger diameter wheels would fill it out nicely, but looks nice as she sits now.

looking nice man. i don't normally like the stepped lip look but it looks nice on a white car.

Is it true that in Brunei, the second gen IS that you guys get is still called the IS300? I had a customer pick up an H11 kit from there and I kept telling him the IS300 came with OEM HID but he insisted it was a second gen IS that required an H11. Crazy!

btw - you could use some headlight film to prevent the oxidation on your headlights. i'd point you to a shop but unfortunately the clearbrafilms.com directory is US specific at the moment.

Hey thanks veritek!

Of course 19s would be perfect for my GS but unfortunately the road over here are very bumpy and potholes just build up suddenly and i drive at a speed of 100 - 120 km/h on average.

I guess i have to live with my current settings as it fits right in my budget pocket! Would love to own 19s one day; sigh!

That is right. Our IS2gen is called IS300 while the IS1gen was IS200.

We don't get a lot of GS2Gen driving around in town that much. So far I managed to spot 5 modded GS2gen including mine

Another buddy of mine came; look what our rivals are capable of:

Heads Up!

His Nose!

My Nose

I think I really need to drop the rear a notch
