New kid on the block
 
What's up Club Lexus. Just joined the forums recently and must say the community here is simply amazing. I go by Uzzi, and decided to give myself a project of turning around the GS400 from the boring to exciting, aesthetically. The power on the 400 is enough as a daily, the car is just too heavy for me to push it to extreme limits, such as I would have gone if modding a Twin Turbo Supra.

Anywho, let's start with the past/some current cars.

First car, 2001 Acura 3.2TL. Never completed as it sold for a very good price.

Next comes a downgrade as my driving distance per month increased, with CA gas prices, the car was necessary to allow for college tuition to be paid for. I still rock this car as a daily today.

Now comes a fun car used for shows, doesn't personally belong to me. I love this car, but my only complaint is that it's VERY thirsty for gas.

Now, onto the golden GS400. The car was purchased back in 2001 and has been daily'd out by my dad. He loves this car, but now I think it's time to give the car a big makeover. *SAMPLE image used as you all know what a stock GS400 looks like.

So here are my plans for the GS400, hopefully to be completed by the end of this summer:
-Matte White Body, Black Gloss Roof
-LED Tails with smoked clear portion
-Coilovers (not dumped, but just flushed in an aggressive stance)
-HRE Wheels
-5K front end (All lights)
-LED conversion (interior)
-VIP Curtains
-Puddle Lights
-Muffler Delete
-5% Rear tint ,15% Front tint.
-Plug license plate holes on front bumper
-Front Lip

That's about all there is on my list.

You must've mistaken me with someone else, the fog housing is stock. Do you have a corolla yourself?
