This kit is unreal... but once again I hate when these fockers show a kit in black! Anyhow I did some looking around and found out that this thing is just a concept...

Ok guys, so My car went through a couple changes since the last time I posted pics.... Thought I'd just share.... (BTW.. the wheels are sold as of today... lasted a little while...) EOS isn't going to happen since I'm currently wheel less and the car is at HKS getting some R&D done... Hipermax exhaust and built in silencer coming soon... If they have the time, Hipermax RS Coilovers maybe on the way as well... We will see.... Let me know what you guys think okay!

Just for the hell of it.. My best record to date: 31.2mpg

A picture of the wheels after their brushing and rechroming process. (wheels are sold.. sorry Lexus_kidd, wheels didn't clear the big brakes...) Pictured w/ the wheels are a set of the Project kICS NEO R40 lightweight lugs. The cool thing about the lugs are that the free spin at the base and don't spin with the lugs during installation, so no damage to the wheel lug bores... Plus I get the Uber-Fruity rainbow color...



So, here's two shots of the new front end. I haven't changed the Wald Front Spoiler, but I added:
A) Fabulous ABS Color-matched Eyelines
B) Prussian Blue Grill w/ Lexus "L"
C) Kazz Sports Carbon Fiber logo insert

It took me forever and a day, but I finally put the Wald roof spoiler on. I've had this bloody spoiler for 3 months and it's finally on...

there's some nice looking rides in here, especially the glacier frost ones. i'm always a sucker for a nice pearl white.

but anyways, my question is about turbo kits for the gs300. i remember reading a while ago here that there was a company making a turbo kit for the is350 and was going to make one for the gs300 but i can't find it during my little search. it could very well be in this thread but i didn't want to search all the way through this thread yet until i really become serious about it. so i'll just ask again. any updates on the 06 gs300 turbo kits? the 07's are here and it would be nice to have a big power adder for the 06 gs300 guys. i drove a gs450h at tol last sunday and it'd be great fun to have that power in a gs300 and still have the trunk space.

Toyota had a Mark X Supercharger Concept with a supercharged 3GR-FSE. Too bad it's never (not yet at least) gone production.

Default This is the hottest body kit I have EVER seen.

In fact, we have a 2G GS300 going on 130K miles so we're looking and to be honest the 3G didn't do anything for me personally. Now, it has and I'm stoked in taking the 350 our for a spin.

Now if I can get this kit, some kick *** 20" and lower it (a must) I would finally have my dream car. When i bought the GS300 in 98 I was 28 and really wanted the GS400 but couldn't justify the extra 10K for the HP's. Now... I have wood and my wallet has wood.
