new member from the ATL

Hello everyone. I just joined up with VSC and I am already lovin it from browsing around. I see a lot of familiar screen names and avatars here. I guess i'll just start by introducing my car.

I'm not really sure where I am going with this car. VIP, EXE, street, etc... I started 2 years ago converted from a e36 bmw m3 sedan to my 2001 gs300. piece by piece it became what you see today. i'm definitely going to be looking at this site for some ideas, insight and motivation. one day it'll be on the level of many members here. 

it all started out with a minor accident when i ran over a curb. it resulted in a body kit and wheels. here you see the tenzo-r exhausts, revolution front and rear with vis sides and oem style wing, carbon fiber grille, carbon fiber b-pillars with 18" american racing casinos.

then i was able to find a person who wanted to trade interiors. i had grey and wanted black. it was a 4 day process and once we got half way we wished we had never started. but i am happy with it.

getting sponsored by Dunlop tires allowed me to invest in some bigger and more aggressive wheels. 20" EXE Konvex to be exact.

My carbon fiber VIS DV Vented hood, carbon eye brows, and front bumper arrived! it is the same bumper but we decided to integrate the is fog lights into the mix. i had gotten them for my birthday last year.

excuse the painter's tape it was a 8+hour drive on a freshly painted bumper.

any tips, comments, etc... will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
Tony

I can definately say the 2nd round is better than the 1st round.  Have you ever thought about air suspension?

thanks, i guess! lol. yeah i try to get around to all the meets and shows.

welcome to vsc... most here don't do the carbon fiber thing...thats more of a tuner style than VIP style.  Stick around and check out the difference.

Hello, Clean.

Question: Is that a modified Black Widow Front for Hondas?

i know there's no way i can go all VIP. i love the style but it isn't all me, ya know. i am trying more to incorporate some VIP tastes into my car. thanks though, i'll def stick around.

thanks for the compliment. it is not a black widow bumper from a honda. what it started out as was a revolution bumper or replica win style bumper for the lexus gs. i modded the two outer vents to incorporate the lexus is300 fogs into it.

Nice GS ;)
