Smile Need some help, and suggestions...

I've been recently introduced to the VIP cars (which I knew nothing about till not too long ago). I sold my car in hopes to get either a GS300 or 400 (years between 98-04). I want a VIP car as my next car. Which car would you choose if you were in my position. Parts? And prices if you know. I talked to a buddy of mine and since he knows how I drive hes telling me not go with a VIP, but I know there is some kind of way I can still dip low and be high when I want to race. As you can tell I'm very very new at this...even with other cars. I would love someone to help me list parts and prices and the choice between 300 or 400 and year. Thank you..and if someone is selling their car we can talk...

Also if someone has a GS300/400 for sale post it up taking consideration. Please post year, miles, and price wanted, and any problems with the car... or LS

Stance and wheel fitment is key! Low and flush is what you are trying to achieve.

Edit: Check the Lexus vehicle classifieds for cars.
