Hi guys, my name is Shant. Im new to this forum and new to Lexus. Ive been lurking here for a while now so i thought id come on and say hello and join the community. Ive been around the automotive scene for a while. I was competitively drifting for a while and it came to a point where i had to put my money towards some assets and step back a bit. Some of you may of heard of Team Aero-K and Aero-K Garage in sunrise. We specified a lot in 240sx custom builds and fabrications. Anyways, i just picked up my beloved 2000 Gs300. I LOVE IT!! It currently has BC racing coilovers built by chelsea denofa himself, cosmis racing 18x9.5 18x11 wheels, junction produce LED tail lights, LED interior lights, TTE front lip, roof spoiler and a pioneer double din. Car has around 175k but drives like a dream. Hope you guys like it and theres a lot of nice cars on here as well





and this was my s14

Hey everyone, I'm Nic and I'm living in Albuquerque, NM. This is the first time I've owned a Lex, but have been wanting one for years. I've owned 6 Hondas prior, and finally decided it was best to get a big boy car. I'm a total noob when it comes to these cars, so I'll probably be asking a ton of "dumb" questions. I used to own a Prelude, and was on preludepower.com, so I'm familiar with forums and how they work. I look forward to learning a lot about my GS, and will try to post every step of my build.

Here's my GS


This was my prelude before I sold it

WHATS UP, im new, my names June. Im an owner of a 2002 Lexus GS300 Sport. Millenium Silver, Black leather interior with perforated front seats. The piping on them are shiet. It had a previous owner who liked donnell jones apparently and turtle framed ray bans. Car was filthy, but clean and 4k with 152k on the dash. Ive since cleaned the interior and headliner where someone loved palming their bbq sauce hands? And replaced the tires with 225 55R 16 BF TA's hoping down the line some induction comes to play. Ill post some pics when its clean.

Hi guys... my name's Keenan from Maryland. I bought a Crystal White GS300 back in April with 80k and love everything about it except that it's not as fast as the Q45 I had and the ML sub is already blown. But it is more reliable in every way.

Unfortunately I ran over a fox last night and it cracked my front bumper. () I'll probably just buy a replacement from Sewell tho. Lookin' forward to chattin' with fellow 2GS owners and bein' able to modify my car once I graduate from college.

Hi everyone, Just bought my 94 Aristo 2JZ-GTE on the weekend, but not before I found this site. Its a never ending mountain of info and really appreciate the posts which made my decision to purchase. I never owned one before but I love it. All the credit for the mods go strictly to the previous owner who was really fussy with detail.

1. Exterior color - Pearl White.
2. Interior color - Brown on Cream
3. Major options or special packages - I really dont' know. The owners manual is totally in Japanese
4. Audio options - Clarion DVD, Kicker amp, JL Sub
5. Any modifications - Full body kit, Blitz Boost, Chrome wheels, Adjustable coil overs and suspension ride.
6. Anything I want to mention - Credit to previous owner
7. Country - Australia
8. Pics at my profile

I currently have a thread request from anyone who can help regarding body kit driving lights and would really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks in advance.
