WHOOPS (and for my 4th lexus...)

Wow man, its like, numbers man.... :pat: I guess my lease miles are up..... in 2 weeks! I thought I had months but the dealership was all like :rules: I was going to do a sweet silver E500 but I don't have nearly enough for a full W211 build (and i'm moving into a house next month!) BUT I was going to build a turbo GS after the W211, so i'm just going to get the GS first. I already found the one I want, its been for sale in the area by a private owner. 1999, 115k on it, Silver with a black interior. I'm going to try and see it soon. Plus I have my SEL to work on if I need to merc build.

Here's the plan:

Exterior:

Mercury Metallic respray. Since i'm going molded rear lip, side skirts, and a fender kit plus a new front bumper it only makes sense to respray. Plus I know a guy who does it so I can do all the prep myself.

Front:
-Aimgain front bumper with fogs (I wanted Aimgain for my 147 but never got it, saw it installed at SEMA last year and vowed to do it on a 2GS)
-White LED running lights (i've had them for 2 years from my LS and never installed them)
-Replace the front fan with a bright polished fan so you can see the fan spinning behind the grill. I saw it on a Bentley Arnage when I was in LA once and decided to put it in a build sometime.
-4,300k HID's in the headlights
-3,000k HID's in the fog lights
-Black ABflug grill. Still my favorite look for the GS. I imagine i'll have a few and switch it up.
-%35 black tint

Sides:
-Aimgain sideskirts
-Smoked LED side blinkers
-Painted JP mirrors
-Artisan Spirits - High Spec fender set (its freaking cheap!!)
-White LED puddle lamps that turn on when the doors are open.

Rear:
-Fabulous rear molded to bumper
-Fabulous exhaust (i've always wanted those quad cannons)
-Red JP style tail lights with smoked bottom.
-White LED lisence plate bulb

Suspension
-Universal Air or a used airunner setup (I just don't need to spend $4k when that could be a universal air system and another set of wheels)

Interior
-Convert all lights to white LEDs.
Actaully i'm not even going to make a list cause its too long. You'll just see, it'll be tight, I promise!

Engine
super sweet carbon air filter (just kidding, some sort of forced induction, probably a used SC kit or turbo kit, I love the lexus for the ride not the speed but I remember the 2jz in my GS AND my IS and neither had the pull of the 1UZ in my LS so i'll address the power issues)

Wheels
Many. Many, many, many.... if I had to name some I imagine i'll go with a nice staggered polished 19" for daily driving, I have one DTV on the wall in my living room that'll work but i'd have to pull it apart and repaint, plus i'd have to buy 3 more DTV's. I'm going to have to snag a set of Juno's those wheels are ridiculous
