You're better than the Midas shop Looks great - the bigger tips make a "big" difference. Probably sounds great too. Are you planning on getting a spoiler b/c the GS looks just a great w/o one. It would be a real tough decision for me, but the LED grouping in the spoiler is cool.

Nick, I am getting a spoiler, but I am not sure if I should go with the OEM Spoiler w/ out brakelight, or the Blitz Spoiler...

I went today to the bodyshop and my roofspoiler and grill were drying.... So I am going after work tomorrow to pick them up... Then when I get home I will put them both on.. The Exhaust sounds really nice, when your standing in the back.. All I can hear while I give it gas is mainly the engine.. But my man said to me that's just how he wants his to sound. Well it sounds and looks great.. I had to alittle rigging to make them fit like that, I had to use some wireties.

How much did you spend on your exhausts? And how hard was it to install?

sypher -

sweet ride... i love the interior!!

i remember reading on here that you can get that black wood in your car... where?

do you think the gs3 sportdesign wood will fit in a 00' GS?? I'm sure the shifter would fit, which i'd love to get!!

i might like to get that nice trim around the ac too...?? i hope some of that stuff fits in my gs....

anyone know anything??

and I wonder....

It would be GREAT if there was a black wood interior trim kit available... does anyone know??

or better yet -

A black wood steering wheel... I would love to have one of those!! Anyone know if those exist??

And where can I get these if they are available?? Will it cost an arm and a leg?? Probably have to ship them from Japan or some ish...

oh please oh please tell me I can get um somewhere...

Toog4me, I spend $400. on them.... The Install was a little tricky, Those damn tips didn't what to line up and center... So I ended up using fuel hoses and cable ties:eek: But it worked.. The only problem I had was that freeking torx nut.. The socket I had was to shallow, so while my GS was up on ramps I had to find a torx that would fit. And at 5:30 everything was closed, I ended up going over to Lexus and one of the mechanics let me use his..... Nice guy, I brought it back today after work....

And as for that Black wood Steering Wheel.. I was just thinking about that like 3hrs. ago... It would look sweet.... Real Sweet.

I got my roof spoiler and grill back from the bodyshop today. I put the grill on but no the roof spoiler, tomorrow.. I don't like the grill, I don't think it matches up with the car.. I think I'm going to paint it all Silver... I'll post a pic of it tomorrow so you guys can give me your opinions... Later guys and thanks...

I think, if your getting a new one, the dealer should do whatever they can to get what you want. I didn't have much of that option getting a 2001. I also wanted levinson, but if you look online for used gs' I would say 5% of all i have found had it. They claimed there is a wait of 4 months for it when iwas there.
