i just purchase a 2001 lexus gs 430 with 74 miles in some shiny champangeish silver colour. been lurking around for a few days alot of great info here, maybe one day my car will look as good as some of the members here. maybe next year i'll save enough money to put on the junction produce kit, dam thing cost a arm and leg to buy , install and paint, if not i'll probbaly settle for something simillar. anyways just wanted to introduce my self ....... btw anyone here knows how low the Junction produce kit sit? would it it be pratical to drive it in the winter time? something like montana or utah's winter.

also when i purchase the car i notice while driving it sounds like its windy out side even tho the windows are all rolled up. anyone here with that issue?

dam did i introduce myself as a new member im not sure if it's based on the quality of the kit or just harsh road conditions. but im from jersey and the weather can get crazy over here, a few of my friends have kits on their cars and after a good snow season it looks like a bad idea to put it on. maybe it's the salt that kills the paint or maybe it's a bad paint job, who knows but i would get a cheap 'ol litte car to get me through the snow seasons. well thats if it's gonna be your "weekend" car, enjoy clublexus.com it's a great site
