Hi All,
Long time lurker, but its time I start posting this car since I actually want to do some stuff to it now to make it nicer.
This is my car:
2001 LEXUS GS430 w/ Mark Levinson Package, and Gold badge kit.
About the car: I bought this car 3 years ago at 18 years old needing a daily driver. I am 21 now and it is still my daily driver, 40k miles in. Being this young, I never really had too much money to pour into it, but I certainly have big plans for this car. Since the resale value isn't too great for one of these in the bay area, I am going to build this and get a newer daily driver that doesn't waste as much gas.
Things I've done on it personally:
LOWER BALL JOINTS BOTH SIDES
TIE ROD ENDS BOTH SIDES
CASTER ARM with 03-05 Kouki TRD bushing (Soon to be, have to order other side)
LOWER CONTROL ARM BOTH SIDES (Also soon to be)
How she sits today, Saved my pennies long enough to grab my favorite wheels: real WEDS Bazreia for a steal. They are WEDS BAZREIA 18 X 8 +38 / 18 x 9 + 38 sitting on PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GTs minor stretch in the back. Might not be the most aggressive fitment, but since they are real 3 piece wheels, I have more options in the future.
INSPIRATIONS AND ASPIRATIONS
FRONT BUMPER:
Mocked this up last night, K-BREAK front bumper onto Carl Thompson's GS, pretty much exactly the set up I want in the front
SIDES:
I too, Fancy the GT car look. Side Skirts on the rear will be Veilside Executive. Rear Wide body will be SERIALNINE and on the front, like Carl's GS, I want to have the stock fenders cut and boxed. Any tips on how to go about doing this? This is the part that stumps me the most, please help!
REAR:
Rear will be Veilside as well, I love their kit, especially this day in age, a kit from the early 2000's is definitely cool to have.

And that's all there is for now, Thanks for reading and the support! Shoutout to all the OG's who took photos of their kit from 2003 and was able to survive long enough for me to gravedig them all.
On the verge of being Stanced
