This car is a one owner only car and no expense was spared to mod it right! The car has been meticulously maintained - oil changes regularly with only quality synthetic oil - Amsoil 0W-30 Signature ( the best ). Timing belt, water pump, thermostat and pullies were changed at 92k miles. This GS430 is a one-of-kind, from it's custom Royal Ruby Metallic 3 stage wet sanded and buffed paint, the JDM Authentic Vertex full body kit, the Zone 3 piece forged 'brilliant brushed' finish centers/chromed outer lips, the extensive suspension mods, the conservative, but effective engine mods to it's killer Pioneer Nav/JL Audio sound system - this is a car that turns heads and drives fantastic. Exterior mods include the above mentioned custom paint and body kit, plus Junction Produce rear 3 piece spoiler, Ugo roof spoiler, L Tuned grill, mesh inserts in front bumper, custom retro'ed headlights ( LS430 projector low beams/Acura MDX projector high beams in new GS housings ), LED red/clear tail lights, chrome trunk bar and HID clear fog lights. Engine mods include a SRT intake with piggyback ECU, S&S ceramic coated headers, custom 2.25 mandrel bent stainless mid x-Pipe, cat-back Carson tuned exhaust, Magnaflow tips and Mark IV Supra 3.76 LSD differential. 20" Zone rims ( 20 X 9.5 +36 and 20 X 11, +45 ) with a unique finish on the center section ( brushed face and polished windows ), Hankook Ventus Evo V12 tires ( 255/30/20 and 305/25/20 w/2500 miles on them ) and Rotora 4 piston 355mm front and rear 'big brakes' add a finishing touch on the package. Of course the suspension mods are extensive and effective - Daizen swaybars, Zeal ( Endless ) Function XS coilovers, Tom's front and rear lower chassis bracing and Tom's 6 links, Carson Tuned chromed front strut tower bar and Ugo carbon rear strut tower bar, Ikeya Formula adjustable front upper control arms and rear adjustable toe arms complete the handling of this car. Inside, the custom Navigation/Sound system rocks the tunes - JL Audio mains, amps and a free-air Elemental Design sub in the stock location belt it out. See the interior section for details on this sound system. Picture of engine bay available upon request. This is a one of a kind Lexus GS and you're sure to enjoy the car's perfomance, looks and attention it will gather.
