De-modifying: back to stock - in progess
sad to say but i am changing the TL back to stock.... it's going to be a long and slow process but eventually the car will be stock.. so far, i've taken the ground control coilovers off and took the racinghart wheels off... i bought some oem 17 inch tsx wheels instead of putting the stock 15s on.. if any of you guys are interested in any of my aftermarket parts, PM me with your offers... i don't plan to sell all my parts, but if the price is right, i will part with them.. PS.. i plan to keep the TL forever..

P.S. Sorry for being such a vulture, hehe.

say it aint so! the tsx rims look good on your car and it still looks dropped [lil wheel gap] even thou you took off your GCs. i just hope that you will still visit the boards and keep us updated on your lexus. id love to see your creation on that.

Isn't this like putting your kitchen back to the way it was before you remodeled it? I guess not, since the Acuras were sweet the day they were born.
I feel the pain of the board, yet mine is completely stock because I don't have a mechanical bone in my body. Good luck returning it to its original state. May the force be with you. A powerful ally it is.

Kamlung should be all over your kit, he must be sleeping. I would have thrown a junction produce kit on that GS a long time ago with some Work Wheels ..yummy

vip style.. of course i like that style.. unfortunatly i don't have the luxury of dumping +10 grand on fixing up the GS.. if i did, i'd rather trade it in for a new M45 or just turbo the GS..
