Default New member... Just some prepaint pics..

1999 lexus gs300. Bought already with lambo doors. Added the 20's, rim's came with tires alittle to big so i changed the front to recommended and kept backs alittle bigger for a semi-staggered look. More or less just to save money at the moment, when front's get worn alittle i'll put on back and buy two new correct sized one's for the current oversize back rims...,also Waiting for front bumper to arrive for paint job , Then installing my clazzio seat covers.. Anyways, new member just wanted to show car





Also I been searching for door actuators, I've looked at alot of threads and sellers they bought from on ebay and i can't seem to find any who carry them currently. Anyone have an uptodate contact to buy from? Thanks!

Yeah. I cant wait to get it finished. Yes the whole car. Is being repainted. And I'm thinking to go with the same cinnabar pearl color or whatever The current Color is. Either that or just black it out not 100% till I get it to shop. Lol. Also thinking of going back to normal doors.. the lambos are. Definitely a Convo starter but it gets annoying at times. Or I keep them and finish rebuilding my hondas engine and use that when its convient... (yes I'm indecisive) but one thing for sure is I been saving up to do everything. And so far ive gotten awesome deals... heck I bought. The rims with. Brand new tires for 320 . So I'm pushing forward hard trying to get it all done. And thank you for the welcoming. I been using club lexus for a year without making an account .Lately i have joined cause. I needed answers I couldn't find thru threads ...good thing...cause I saved money. When ordering from sewell cause of CL

That thing needs a LOT of work.

lambo doors need to go, spoiler needs to go while its already in the paint shop, and it needs to be lowered with new wheels!

Welcome to CL.

Remember, build the car for yourself not for others. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but remember, your the one that's driving/seeing it everyday.

Have fun and enjoy!

we have been getting some new members with different styles even though its not to our liking I think that we should still let them contribute without telling them to take off everything that they feel makes there car.

I'm not saying any of his things are to my liking but I know everything I do people aren't going to like and don't want to be bashed by all of CL

Lets just help them along the way

That color is not as common as black or white But since ur getting it painted i'd go for a diff color. I dont know the name of it but the 3rd gen gs has a sick off white almost matte grayish color. There is a name of an ebay seller somewhere in the door actuator diy thread. I found mine through him all 4 for under $20 for the lil motors.

Thank you for the sellers name, just bought all 4 door actuators bundled for 18.30 or was it 18.70... whatever. Yayyy Also, I appreciate any constructive criticism, but make it constructive!! Lol . Good/bad update... So stupid bumper i ordered some how never got placed? WHatever... Called a local junk yard they pulled it out for me, got all my door hinges and thing they attach too and bumper for 300. Not to bad, so paint job might happen sooner then later! Off to pick up parts tomorrow, thanks again for all the help for my silly questions
