Agree...that would look dope especially with a nice retro

It would look 10x better imo...

...BTW. The engine is absolutely amazing! It is the epitome of symmetry!!! This is what I love the most. How much in a very general ballpark range would it cost to get a base GS400/430 engine to become that? EVERYTHING included labor, parts, tune everything (oh and also the tranny work too). What are we looking at here $15K...$20K...$25K!!! What are your current power levels at? I would absolutely keep my car indefinitely down the road (and use it as strictly a weekend car) if I could do this one day. As long as the entire powertrain is re-done there isn't many other things on the car that will be very costly to fix that will go as it gets older.

agreed

That does look very sick....I think you should do the taillight conversion as well like the other members mentioned. Work is amazingly astonishing on this car. The engine bay is an absolute killer.....still want to know what kind of power this car can produce.

in all good work!

Have you thought of getting wider/lower offset wheels to fill out the widebody more? I think some aggressive fitment would really make the widebody look even wider.

I wish the engine bay wasn't too red though. I'd settle for all black

Or leave some red for the BOV and wastegate:

Damn man I think that your GS is one or the only car that I have seen that make my jaw drop love the color, love the wide body, love the interior, the wheels, the engine is all WOW.

You said that you changed your interior what color was it before? and if you changed it to black where did you do it at. Cuz I want to do and interior swap from tan to black. any suggestions.
