Default the new new.

whats up guys, my name is Ryan. Im new around here. Im front south florida but just recently moved to Charleston, SC last year. Ive been lurking for a little bit. Now that I picked up my first gs300 I figured it time to post and introduce myself.

Ive had the car for a little over a week and I have to say Im quite impressed for an older car with as many miles. I ended up picking up a 2003 silver/black with about 150k on the clock. The exterior is pretty beat up but the interior is spot on, which is exactly what I wanted. The passenger side has some small damage, door mouldings front/rear/quarter, and rockers. Ive found it pretty hard to find some of these online without spending a ton of money at dealer to order these parts. Any suggestions besides looking on the forums and ebay?

Im really familiar with suspension builds (static/air) and building sets of wheels. So this is one less new guy that won't have pointless questions.

I don't have any crazy plans for the car as of yet. Plan on working on the exterior (get rid of the pinstripe, wing), maintenance, shaved/rolled fenders, static drop, some suspension bits, and build a set of wheels.

heres the car.





passenger side damage :/





heres my last car, yes Im a wheel*****. the gs will probably be the same way
