Hi everybody


I'm François, i live near Paris

First of all, sorry if i do any mistakes, my english isn't perfect but i try to practice as soon as possible

i bought my first Lexus less than 2 years ago

it's a GS430, i bought it near London (i drive RHDs since 5 years now)

it had the OZ Salinas wheels of the GS Sport, i changed them, i found the wheels i wanted in Japan, with the exhaust, front grille, LED tail lights and head lights and the front lip spoiler

and actually, i'm waiting for the side skirts and the rear lip spoiler from Japan too with some other stuffs

a pic of the car a few days after when i came back from London

and how the car is now

the car is lowered on Tanabe Springs DF210

i put some LEDs everywhere, and also for the turn signal
just need some work for the inner tail lights to be fitted with the other ones

and i didn't fit the headlights, they are HIDs with ballast under, but i think i'll retrofit the oem ones

and now i'm looking for a paint job, with color change and i'll refurb the wheels, they need some small work

i'll keep the post updated, and i'll try to come in any car show in UK, i was at Japfest last year with a friend, and it was a really great show

sorry again for the mistakes ;)

Thanks a lot

for the wheels, i'll change the lip, for larger ones
they are 8.5" and 9.5" and want 10" and 11" and maybe change the color, or make a diamond cut finish on the faces

for the grill, i wanted the Junction Produce one, but nothing under $1000 used condition lol

i found this one but don't know if i'll keep it

i have different ideas for the paint,

i saw the Rocket Bunny RC 350 F-sport in Infrared and i really like this color
but on the GS i don't have any idea of this color on a larger car than the RC

2 years ago i wanted it 077 Starfire pearl

or a dark grey non metallic, like the Ferrari's Grigio scuro

Welcome Francois

Nice looking motor you have there.

You will find lots of help here. It is a friendly and knowledgeable place.

Lexus is quite a rare breed in France. I have noticed a couple of dealerships on my travels...but not many.

Every time I go to France I get admiring looks. Stayed in the Loire (near Valencay) area last year...the owners of the Gite were so impressed I took them out for a spin in the Lexus. They loved it.... Xavier was hooked on it I think.

Hi Senio,

Thanks a lot

I have a friend who live in Japan, when i need something, i ask him

for my previous cars, i often bought parts in USA, but for the GS, there isn't a lot of choice
