Default Tires, Tint, Tips, and Corner Marker Upgrades (PICS)
So I never really introduced my self when I started visiting this forum. I hail from San Jose, Cali. Picked up my 2002 GS430 on May 28, Memorial Day, of this year. It was bone stock.

Here it is today with some New Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions, four doors and rear window tinted, Magnaflow Exhaust tips, and clear corner markers with Plasma Ion bulbs installed.

I had the yellow bulbs in my sidemarkers too but it didn't match the 3000k HID. Guess I'll just get rid of the HID.

The tips look really clean. I like them a lot.
