My new GS350
In the words of the great American Poet Jay-Z: "Please allow me to re-introduce myself..." 
After 8 years and 140,000 miles I retired my 1999 GS300 and purchased a 2007 GS350. Smoky Granite Mica with black leather and Navigation. My short list of mods includes: Tanabe NF210 springs, 35% ceramic tint, XM radio, JL Audio 250/1 amp, JL Audio 12W3V3 in a custom 4080enclosures.com.
Don't ask, they are just exhaust tips not a full exhaust.
I know that I'm just a poser but I can't deal with the low rpm drone that you get with free flowing exhaust.
I changed the wedge and fog light bulbs to PIAA ION Crystal Amber and had the fog lights covered with yellow tint:
Painted the calipers:
The www.4080enclosures.com is very OEM like and doesn't take up make space:
My Lexus and my BMW:
And of course I have to represent for CL and SELOC:

Do we have CL stickers yet that one can get, or was your's custom made? I need to pop over to the main forum tree now and have a look-see...... I know there was talk of it for a while now.....

I actually found those old stickers when I was cleaning out my '99 GS before I traded it in. They had been in my glove box for more than a few years.

I'm trying to wait until I need tires to make a final decision. If I don't change them, this will be the first car that I have owned since 1984 (I'm old) that I didn't change the wheels on. My last GS went straight from the dealer to the rim shop. In my haste I made a bad decision and ended up getting something better a year or so later. I don't want to make the same mistakes.
But I'm trying to be like Jay-Z "Young enough to know the right car to buy, but grown enough not to put rims on it".

Thanks Dave. Yes I traded (gave away) my old GS. Although it still looked pristine, 140,000 miles hurt the value. I may have been able to squeeze a little more money out of a private sale but I didn't want the hassle.
