Default New to NELOC

Just found this section of the forums. Im new to the Lexus scene. So far its a day/night difference from what im used to. (Honda/Nissan scene)

I purchased a 2002 GS300 Sport Design in april after a year of searching for the right car. I'm very very picky and the car had to be exactly what i wanted or it wouldn't be worth it. Here's a couple pics. No 'mods' except clear bra and oem all weather mats for now due to just becoming a home owner. By next spring i hope to have a nice parts pile ready. Ill be sure to keep everyone updated. Enough talk though..here's the pics:

P.S. mats in those pics are not the oem ones lol these are pics on day 1

Thanks! So far CL seems like a real cool forum to be on. I will be modding the car shortly. Im planning on going VIP/EXE. Have it all planned out in my head just gotta get it all done to the car now. Im from north jersey, Totowa/Little falls area. anyone else local? id love to come to some meets. Also meeting up with locals and just talking cars is cool too. I actually won a bid on eBay for the mats. 2nd thing i bought for the car, after getting the clear bra installed. i hope to have a bunch of stuff stocked up for next spring. going to save up and get the right parts during winter.
