I'm back!!!
 
After a small hiatus with a BMW 750i, I am back to the Lexus world. I am now on my 3rd 2nd gen, a 98GS300, 99GS400, and now an 05GS430, pics to follow wht/tan loaded with tv headrests...

It has the stock 16's chrome but I am going to get wheels soon for this. The headlights have that bad haze on them, I remember there is a way to polish them but is that the best option or is it better to get another set. They are the green tinted ones, HID.... Also I only got the VALET key for the car, so I need a real Lexus key for the car with the alarm - how do I go about getting one, etc? - MOST IMPORTANT for now....

I am planning on tinting the windows, adding a small system, a kicker 12" Solobaric L7, as I already have it sitting in the garage, so I'll use that for the time being....

Mods are setup as follows for the time being, if there is a place or recommended vendor please point me in the right direction, as I've been away for bit, lol....

Clear front fender markers, (where to get)
LED lights for fender markers, and LED's for inner light when headlights are on (Vendor of choice)
LED Tails (inner/outer) - recommend a vendor?
Suspension - prob L-tuned for the time being, I am on a budget rt now as well, so best bang for my buck here - Vendor?

Hey welcome back! Hope you got your master key situated. Are you by any chance going to sell your stock 16's? If you are please let me know. Thanks!

Also for your headlight haze, I use Meguiars Headlight restoration kit. Works wonders. http://meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+G3000. You can find them on Kragen, Autozone, Target, Lowes etc. But of course, if you can afford it, a new set is the best option.

Good luck on the mods.

Crappy cell pix but still.... By looking at the pix does it look like the car is lowered at all? It feels a little better suspension wise than stock lexus, but I can't tell if it is lowered, it looks to be not as big of wheel gap as I recall for stock. The dealership I got the car from has no clue....


Yes I will be selling my stocks once I get wheels.

I'll try for new pix this weekend from a real camera.. N I changed out my stock HID's for 8k's and ordered LED inner parking lights, clear corners, HID fog lights will be done this weekend as well.....

They are EBAY LEDS. it comes with interior and exterior tail lights! I prefer the thing white strips, in my pic i think it was the thicker ones, but i bough thin ones to replace it.
