Wats up VSC folks,

My name is Brian and i live in San Antonio, i have a 2004 LS430 and i bought it used in December after i stumbled onto this site. I have been modding cars since I had a license, and love anything to do with cars ( minus the donk stuff). The car was a great deal and came with the ruff racing 20's ( i hate them). San Antonio is pretty lame when it comes to import shops, so i will probably be reaching out to a few folks.

crappy cell phone pic......

Thanks

there is a slew of toyotas here, but everyone is still doing the "honda Tuning" thing. i went to a local show here a few weeks back and there was 1 lexus there, decent but seriously only one. its kinda depressing, im sure there are folks here into the VIP scene, but they dont cruz or hang out much i guess.

Cant decide on rims at all. All the rims i really like are very popular and everywhere, theres at least 3 ls430's on equips in texas plus a team member has them, the hardirritt superstars are my most fav but again there everywhere, so i decided to just wait on the rims and just get Bags for now, ordered accuair so that should be fun while i continue my rim search.
