Default Official introduction

Hey all. New to the forum and to the Lexus world. I previously owned a '98 mustang (photo below) before my '01 GS300. It's been a learning experience because I have spent the last 5 years surfing mustang forums and now I'm trying to get caught up on everything about my new ride. I just finished washing the GS so thought I would post a cellphone photo of the car (****ty quality I know!). Current upgrades/improvements are 20% tint, satellite radio, Megan Racing midpipe, HKS drop in filter.

Welcome to CL! I too went from a Ford to a GS. I used to have a moderately modded '01 Cobra. Although I still have an '02 Mustang.

Honestly, the reason I switched to the GS300 was because I wanted a car that was quiet, nice and I wouldnt spend every penny I have modding it like my Mustang. Everything was fine until I found this site! lol I really dont have any big plans for now. I will be lowering it in the next month or so.

Welcome! Its nice to get some Ford converts. Its a very nice transition. You can get all the performance and handling with this car, and keep all the luxuries.

Now I just have to convince my bro to trade in his 03 Mach1.

First Mod = coilovers
