It's a love or hate color. I don't think there are that many so it is almost a custom color. If you want to stand out, this will do it. With unique colors, though, you are almost required to mod it. Drop and wheels would be priority 1.

Have fun.

I love the ABM color myself, i think when mod'd nicely, it stands out even moreso than say black/white/silver. Take Neo's car for instance....

Who said ABM? I personally am doing a dark color contrast. Smoked side/front bumper lights. Flat black grill w/ chrome ring and OE gold badge. Next to do is take apart the headlights and paint the insides. Then slightly dark tint, not Limo by any means. The same shade as "Revhard191"s tint. It's nice to see more ABM GSs on the site.

I would honestly like to know production numbers for this paint.

Definately spend the money on modding.
Like everyone said, A drop, and wheels will make you fall in love with it.
Simple visual mods will set it off since its a unique color.
Good luck.

Looks like I might be joining the ABM club... Mine (hopefully tonight) is a near twin to the one that started this thread.

98 GS400 with factory rear spoiler, has Nakamichi sound, but not Nav.

coils
rims/tires
alignment
exhaust
tint

The bare necessities but the first 3 are essentials.

keep that color, its tight. I would do 19"black rims w/polished lip tho.

Alignment due to the coils or due to factory alignment isn't the best specs? I usually spec my own alignment specs. Most factory ones are sloppy....

Going to pick up car tonight.... First Lexus
