The club lexus forum sort of is slow which is good because too much people with too many cars makes you spend. I don't see myself leaving a-zine either.

Congrats Brian...
You accidentally butt dialed me yesterday...I was like "Hello!??!"...heard some mumbo jumbo about liking the spoiler on the new model etc...something or other. Were you with your Mom?

Either way, great choice...ironic but that's the car I recently saw that made me think that it would be a MAJOR upgrade. And PS, I'm done with dark colors next round too.

I am going to let my grille go, but it needs body work and paint, I can't do any body work or paint because of the complaint I recieved about doing it in a residential area.

HAHAHAH I can't believe I did this again, glad it is only you I pocket dialed since you are use to it. I just checked my phone and confirmed this! I was with my mom, how funny, we were discussing getting the base or fsport and the fsport came with a spoiler.

and yes, forget dark color, forget it, forget forget!!!! too anal for this crap.

Sounds like a nice car, and you will no doubt make it even nicer. It will tide you over until the new TL arrives!

I bet that color matte gunmetal vossen wheel will look stunning on the GS, man...


Offsets are probably fine too.
You won't miss sh*t, you were never in love with this car...I could tell. That's why you had SO many projects keeping you busy on it, forcing yourself to love her. In the end...wasn't the right car for you. Oh well! Next car is gorgeous, will ride on air, get decent gas mileage and is more luxurious (I have a feeling).

Congrats again, buddy.

Brian, what can I say, man...I summed it up when I saw your old Accord that your sister was driving. You loved it enough to keep the paint looking good and even recover the leather. So I KNOW you're not the type to just swap cars every 2 years...and when I kept seeing new projects and conversions etc...I kinda figured out that you weren't totally sold on the car.

I am certain you'll be in love with the GS F, though. I'll come by when you get it and check it out, if you don't mind.

J.

About your vossens, what are your thoughts on some 5 x 120 to 5 x 114 adapters?!?!
I really think they'd look awesome and you KNOW Vossen would love to reshoot those wheels on the Lex.

If the offsets work on the GS, I say get the adapters and rock them. Even if its for a little while.

Of course that means you'll have to lower it

LOL...Anil, so true.

And Morgan, SHHHHSHHHH.
I wasn't going to tell him that part just yet. That would just kinda work itself out once he installs.

in sawgrass in an empty warehouse, behind the warehouses, it has a sort of zig-zag setup instead of two linear/parallel warehouses. Added dimension!

Gs is where its at B! Nice pick up man.. Im rocking a 3G GS350 and I love the car. Def luxurious and ride well modified. Im sure the 4G steps it up another notch. Either way, Acura or Lexus, you cant go wrong. They are both low maintenance and 250k+ mileage cars.. doubt any of your cars will ever see that though :p

Nice Brian. I'm guessing you told Vossen that they had a small window of opportunity if they wanted the car on the rims?

I don't think I have ever looked at a car, in its stock forum and have loved it. Most cars have what I would call potential, but need work. Keep in mind these cars are cars under 50k, not super cars that obviously already look awesome. I am super excited for this, to have a car I most likely will love and keep much longer then the TL, but who knows what the future holds. I wish I could just buy a nissan altima and park wherever I want and wash the car once a month.

pretty much, I said I have one more day before I put it back on stock wheels and suspension. I should have asked you to give me a hand. The rears sucked, sucked!!

others are slowly leaking out, they aren't the official pictures, rather just pictures taking by iphones in between.
