Default Introduction to site members

hey guys i am new to the site and cant wait to start posting and meeting the all the lexus owners. i am new to lexus and became a recent proud owner of my first 98 GS 400 with 31,000 miles on the clock it was a steal. i came from a Nissan 300z TT and heard great things about the GS series now i know everything was true i love it. i was thinking about a headlight mod with the Q45 lights and putting on some rims. does anyone know how i can get those lights and the cost? My new baby is the white model and was thinking black gloss rims with a white lip or chrome with a white lip? any feed back on that idea would be great. well i hope to learn from the veterans of the site and grow with the newbies as well.

Nice pick up man and welcome to the club! As far as the headlights go it's called a 'Retrofit'. You'll have to pick up the gatlin light projectors, brackets, etc.. And you'll have to either do the modification yourself or send it to the professionals to get it done. Usually runs about 1k after everything.

Congrats on the new car. 31,000 miles man I thought I was getting mine with low miles at 71k. Great find! If I had a choice from the wheel colors you were thinking of. I would try black with a chrome lip. Just my opinion. Good luck with modding it and I hope to see updates in the future.

im assuming since the grill has the Gold Emblem the rear would also. Replace those with Black Pearl or whatever else you want.
