black interior touches clash with the stock beige color.

WTF why is there a toyota grill? Not bad but I don't see why it should be lowered its bad enough the GS sucks in rain and snow. But if it gets even lowered theres no way anyone could drive that in bad weather conditions. But other than that its not too bad, the wheels are nice. Is the stereo upgraded or is it still stock?

Actually I was really impressed with the GS in the snow and rain. The VSC in the GS doesnt allow the car to slide out while in snow mode it takes the power away from the rear. Toyota grille is JDM for the Japanese version Toyota Aristo which comes with the 2JZ-GTE engine stock. It needs to be lowered for the style I'm shooting for which means slammed , aggressive wheel fitments, and clean bodykit which is why I sold the lip. Havent touched the stereo yet, I have the speakers but not the headunit yet.

Yea the stock stereo sucks, the speakers on my dad's GS are starting to crack. The selector thing is nice but everytime I drive it in the rain I spinout. Maybe I just suck with driving rear wheel drive cars.

I wouldn't have traded the TL unless it was a 400/430. Def wouldn't have traded if it was...SMG.









(SMG = Soccer Mom Gold) :grin:

I would normally agree but seeing as he went with FI on the 2JZ, it makes total sense now.
