  1. Go get your exhaust, if Borla's are in your price range, jump on them as there aren't many (or any) that I've seen sound better. Or go with MagnaFlows, you'll never look back.
  2. Height x Width You'll find that 20 is about the limit for what will successfully work on the GS without needing to modify the fenders. You also need to know the bolt pattern of the rim, offset, etc.
  3. Any NY, NJ, CT members just going down for the day and organizing a caravan? If so, how much bail money will we need to bring once we hit Cecil County, MD (Right after the DEL MEM BR)? LOL :P
  4. Has anyone posted an 'after the crash' story, no the crash wasn't something I was involved in. My GS430 was hit on the front left drivers side and the frame was bent and 'straightened' Now there is a sound from the left front well that definitely has something to do with the wheel revolution as you can year the rub (rub speeds up and car speeds up). I've had the rotors shaved, then ordered new ones, brakes and tires (firestone firehawk) are also new. Bearings and wheel hub also seem to be fine. Rims (16' stock chrome) haven't changed. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for to get rid of this rub? I'm going to switch out the spare (alloy) and just test to see if the rim is bent but haven't yet because I figure a bent rim would caught car to shake.
  5. Love the Wood, just gets a wee bit slippery up here in NY with the Humidity, hands tend to sweat easily, I keep a towel in the car when peeling off quickly is necessary. :D
  6. Guy, thanks, so the question is, is there a halogen -> HID process? If so what bulb can I put in there that won't burn anything but is going to give me a brighter yellow light?
  7. Ok here's the question and yes I did search but no answer. Are the foglights that come with the 430 HID? If not then can anyone recommend a replacement bulb and is it simply a replacement operation of switching out the bulbs? I love the yellow look but would like to get some more light from the fogs without necessarily blinding O'L lady Hawthorne down the block...
  8. Ok, I've heard everyone speak of the vibration problem that's common with Lexus. Now since I'm a newbie to the Lexus Family with my 01 GS430 here's my question. What does the vibration feel like and is it only a 60mph thing? There is a vibration under my foot (floor panel) I feel when travelling (haven't paid attention to the speed correlation yet) and feels like a slight grinding/rubbing of the rotor. Is this the same common problem or should I be taking it back to the dealer... My issue is that the car was definitely hit before and the front left quarter panel is not original so any advice to alleviate unnecessary worries (or advice telling me to worry) would be appreciated.
