I've been trolling CL for a few months now and thought I'd finally make an into. Hopefully it's ok I do it here, this is really the only section I look at on CL. Which by the way is the best Lexus forum I could find. A lot of good info that's easy to find on here.

Name's Nick (if you couldn't tell), and I live in Warner Robins, Georgia. I'm currently in the Air Force, but I'm also originally from Georgia. I bought a 2000 GS300 a few months ago. It's got a good amount of miles on it, but it still drives great and the maintenance was kept up on it. I needed a decent DD to get me around since my other car is down at the moment. I like the executive/vip style, and as I've gotton older I've found myself wanting something a bit more..."grown-up". Wow, I should've bought a luxury car a long time ago. Even with the age and mileage, I was impressed with the quality of this car. I'm already planning to buy a new Lexus within the next few years.

I'm not sure how much I'll do to this car, but I'll probably do a few simple bolt-on's and take care of the worn out parts like suspension and steering wheel. So far I've just picked up some Tanabe DF's from a local guy and also borrowed my 19's off of the Skyline. Here's some before and after pics, from a point-n-shoot. Thanks


Before






After

 

very nice! hope to see you around. the ATL GS scene is huge

 

im glad to see that you didnt have a civc before you bought the GS

 

like your dropped man...rims looks great Any spacers installed in the back ?

Andy

 

lookin good, makes me wanna pick one up for a daily

 

Nice catch.. Rims looks good. Put on rear wing spoiler plus LED tail lights.. How many miles does ur car have btw? Just curious..

 

what are you lowered on? looks good i like the drop

edit i justed read that you are on df's, but mine didnt go that low, did you cut springs or something?

 

Clean looking GS and welcome to CL! Warm towels are right over there in the corner. Enjoy your stay!

 

welcome to the club OP, nice color choice. how much did you get her for?




whats wrong with a civic? i had several clean civics,integras's del sol's before i bought my es300 years ago. alot of our roots before here were honda's

 

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.

Carbon- Ya, I can see that there are a lot of Ga GS owners. Hopefully I'll have a chance to meet some of y'all somethime.

Toy4life- I didn't own a civic, but I used to have a 4 door integra that I turbo'd years back. I see that you've got a Supra, I used to have one before the Skyline. I miss it!

Thanks Euro. No spacers on the back, they fit pretty good. I would like a little more on the front, but the lug studs are so short that I can't use the 8 mm spacers I have.

Smardav- Thanks, I was thinking that I might put a lip spoiler on, but I'm not sure if I want one or not. Where did you get your LED tails? I like them.

The guy I bought the DF's from cut one dead coil off of each spring. There's still 2 more dead coil's I think. I was a little worried about it at first, but it rides real nice and I like the drop a lot.

Yep, I'm a sucker for a black car lol. The car has 160k on it and I picked it up for 6k.

 

hey nice find! welcome to CL. your car looks more emmaculate than mine even though i have 84k+ miles on...

 

i missed this somehow....lets see some pics of the skyline....

the R34 is my fav version. you get this from the now defunct motorex?

I got it from eBay on an auction. Already forgot which seller tho. Just check on eBay. they have tons of LED lights to choose..

 

Welcome to CL and congrats on the GS. Maybe post some pics of both the Skyline and GS together. Like the drop and wheels on the GS too. I was thinking of doing a photoshoot at the Air museum down by the air base one day, but that's quite a haul for me. We'll see.
