Default Introduction to the 3GS world with pics

Hey all,

I've been a long time member but read more than anything. Have owned a 95 GS300, a 98 GS400 and now a 07 GS350 (all black).

I picked this up in mid-July and got to work right away setting it up for DD status. 52k purchased from original owner who had it only serviced by dealership. Only complaints are it's a non-ML/navi car (couldn't find in blk/blk locally) I'm considering adding navi and going with the JBL ms8 anyway so it may not matter in the long run.

Mods so far:
19" Vossens
Tanabe NF's (thinking of adding rca's in the front??)
Carson Tuned
Tint
Clear-bra

Anyway, here she is: (still need to get better shots)



in garage - not a great pic, but good background

Yessir, not many. Due to popular demand we did the CV1 in 19s and they just arrived literally.

Thanks guys!, absolutely love this car.

As far as the wheels, if/when I get new wheels, probably I'd go with 20's. Had them on my first GS and then only staggered 18's on the 98, so for some reason I thought 19's would be big enough. As far as a true DD goes, the extra sidewall doesn't hurt as far as ride and some cushion for potholes, etc.
