Default airestonia - Lexus GS300 2001 silver (European and stock), lots of pictures :)

Hello,

Here are some pics of my stock GS300 from Estonia.
Because the car was built in Japan but for Europe, there are some differences in comparison to a US model, first of all there are no "small lights" on the front bumper, but there are turning lights on the fenders, there is an antenna on the back, washers for the headlights and basically that it is if I haven't forgotten anything.
I do have plans for this car but first I need to take care of the paint.
Please tell me what you think. (maybe from the photography point of view)

Thanks!

Im so glad my 2nd gen GS U.S. model didtnt have the integrated radio antenna. I hated that thing on my 1st gen GS....LOL.

Do you have sonar back up assistance sensors on the rear bumper? Is that standard over there or is that aftermarket?

Parking sensors where a dealer installed option... Not manufactured by Toyota/Lexus though. And as far as i can tell the dealerships sourced the hardware localy. Mine came with 4 sensors rear and 2 sensors up front.
