Default Did Some Stuff

2001 GS300 Did some stuff. Rained for 11 days after I started, so neighbors not happy I had my car on jacks in the street for a while and called police on me.

Eibach Springs, Bilstien HD Shocks, Goodrich SS Brake Lines, VHT Black Paint on rotors, custom logo painted on by Jack Of Arts (in Kanji says 300), Lexus GS350 Wheels, Brembo OE rotors (not happy with having to grind them down in the back to clear brake shield), G2 Paint System Calipers, EBAY Lexus Logo on Calipers, 98-99 OEM Headers (VHT Silver), Tanabe Medalion Touring courtesy of ZippyGuy, Customized floor brace to clear Tanabe - Autofab Race Cars.

what exactly did you have to grind? that sounds odd that you would have to grind them down with OE replacements.

but everything else looks good. sorry bout the nosy neighbors. i have similar issues here with the home owners' association

Nicely done. What size tires are those? They look awfully bulgy.

+1 on the IS-F center caps. I think they really set off my OEM wheels.

Wow that sounds like a ton of work. It looks great. I bet your neighbors loved your for doing all the mods in the street.

You are more brave than I. I hate having people watch me tinker with my car.

What a bunch of losers calling the popos on you.
