Make sure you clear coat those. Some other threads where people did that say that stuff fades pretty fast if you don't protect it

Love junkyard finds, always something new. Last time my friend found a $20 bill in the hidden compartment next to the mirror controls in a GS300 lol.

Default Completed Black interior Swap

Just completed the black interior swap on my GS300. Was blessed to find a complete Gs430 interior which looked new. The only issue I had was the previous owner had cats and there was hair all over the place took two days to complete remove all the hair.

Hey... How are you liking the SI...? I bought a ('12) SUZUKI Kizashi.. and got the AWD (mistake) with the CVT (bigger mistake?...ahh- maybe a "tie" for the extra 300 lbs of AWD I'm pulling around with only 180hp engine)...ahhh... wish I bought a manual, and something that got more than 25mpg on the HIGHWAY (!) Oh well... still better than 93 octane and 14.5 in the GS4. I'm sure the SI is good on long trips... unlike my Kizashi--- averaged 24.1 going about 78mph from Pgh to DC and back a couple months ago.

Default 2008 Lexus IS250 IS350 Factory 18' Rims and Tires!

Just threw on these 2008 Lexus IS250 IS350 Factory 18' Rims and Tires! , on Friday and proceeded to drive to Santa Cruz and they are sweet! They have a 2-inch offset in the back for better traction, and just give the car a more modern look. Already have some Tein comfort spec coilovers, slightly used off a 1st gen GS 300, I plan on dropping an inch and later in may I get the windows tinted. Will Definitely post pics after!

I threw on my Trafficstars from my Soarer on to the GS. Also had to raise her up a bit to get over the driveway of my new house
