Default hey from Baltimore

hey everyone. just wanted to drop in here & start a thread to say what's up. i'm pretty new to the lexus scene as this is my 1st lexus that i have owned. right now my car is pretty much stock. it's a 2001 GS430. had to get a bunch of things fixed in order for it to pass MD safety inspection.

Jay Zapanta (Jay-Z, lol)
Baltimore near BWI & work in towson

like i said, the car is stock for now. working on getting a new trunk lid painted (spoiler removal) along with a roof spoiler & new front grille. the wheels are in bad shape & one of them almost looked like it had a damaged clearcoat. so i painted them with wheel paint. i plan on getting some coilovers if i have any tax money left over (gotta get a new tv for the living room first). or worst case, ill get some springs to run until i get the coils. i'm a pretty simple guy, so my car isn't going to get crazy modded, but my goal is just clean & simple.

the day i picked it up


back to my house


as it's currently sitting
