Default My new toy

Hey guys. I've been on club lexus ever since I bought my GS a little over a month ago. Been reading a lot of threads here and must say I enjoy looking at all the mods you guys have been doing to your rides. Its definitely a pleasure being part of this forum.

I bought myself a beautiful 2008 GS 350 AWD with about 57k miles on it and must say its the best piece of machinery I've ever had the privilege of owning. I got it in Matador Red Mica with beige interior even though I would have preferred with all black interior.

Here she is the day I picked her up from the dealership

Here she is as she currently sits




So far all I have done is mount my 19x8.5 LFA replicas on it, installed weathertec floor mats, 8000k HID on fogs and some LED swaps.

Upcoming mod will be a Roof spoiler and tinted windows. Sometime next summer my baby will be looking to get dropped a bit.

Welcome!
What brand HIDS are they? Can you post pics of the 8000k.
Currently got 6000k thinking of changing to 8000k

I bought them new at the beginning of May for a Camry I had. So far they have been good, better than expected actually. About a month after buying them a hit a pot hole and I swore that i had at least bent them or something but after stopping to take a look I was surprised to see that they had no damage at all. I have them wrapped with 225/45/19 Delinte Thunder all season tires.
