Wow, I almost needed to get out my Ray-Ban's just to look at that picture. That has to be the glossiest shine I've ever seen. Damn I miss having a nice shiny clean black car, but I just couldn't keep up with it anymore. Car looks amazing.

Forgive me for asking probably the same question, but you say from the inside of your GS430 it sounds the same as stock? Have you noticed and gas mileage / horsepower increases

You can barely hear the difference but it does have a nicer growl/tone to it from the outside. The exhaust looks more "GO" then it sounds but that's ok when I go on trips with the family.

Gas mileage/HP really can't tell.

Default 22's and Tanabe Springs

I know a lot of cl members don't like the big wheels but i did see a couple members on here with 22's and tanabe springs. I thought these cars in my opinion looked the best. Does anybody know how this setup is riding? I know it will ride worse with smaller tires and bigger rims but how bad is it? I recently sold my old gs that had an aristo kit on it and wheels, im tired of the headaches that come with the kit. I just got me an 06 gs 300 and just want some wheels and tint so i can cruise! Thanks

Those E114 wheels look better in person. Not one of my favorites but they do look nice in person.

Summer is right around the corner and it'll bring some 90+ degree days. Yeah, tint coming soon....maybe. I'm not into it but wifey wants it.

Might as well throw this pic in too...I like it most because it shows the cool stance of the girl.
