Any ideas for me on where I could order a part or how to install?

The whole sensor got pushed "in" the bumper. It looks like it has a circle surrounding that is missing that would hold it into place. I can get the sensor with some needlenose pliers but there is a gummy/gel surround that makes it hard to work with and I can't pull it "out" of the bumper. Anyone know how I could get this fixed?

Love mine. No hidden fees, tires may wear faster due to weight but I haven't noticed yet.my hihy I've definitely noticed faster tire wear though. I get 22 - 29 mpg... is hard not to drive it fast! (worse fuel economy)

Nice. I love my 07450h immensely, super fast!

I have noticed a noise lately that happens even after the car is off. It is the metal piece under the hood on the top right [driver side] it looks like maybe a compressor of some sort, makes me wonder of its ttrying to pull some liquid from somewhere to somewhere else, and there is none to pull? It runs frequently while driving too. I think I've always heard it on occasion but not as much as lately.

I got this CEL code at autozone and the tech didnt know which part number I needed? There were 4 options, 2 before and 2 after the cat, each with an upstream or downstream option. Anyone know which one it is and how hard it is to replace? TIA

any links on where to buy - how much they are?

Can you elaborate?

I dont know anything about lowering springs but would like to get some for my 03 gs300. I am going to be getting some 18x7.5 rims and want to "close the gap" a little bit. Any recommendations on which ones to buy, maybe a low, med, and high quality options with pros/cons on each? Also, how hard are they to install? Thanks

Im looking at getting some ROX - Dogtooth Rims that are 18x7.5 discounttire says they will fit. THey have 10 holes so two offsets and they are 5x112 5x114 WOndering if these will fit - and also wanting to know if I want to lower the car a little bit to remove some of the space above the tire how to go about doing that - or which springs to order to have installed. How much of a change will this have on my driving experience? Thanks -

Do you have any pics? Also " the car needs atleast the same outer diameter " Can you explain a little more? How can I determine which rim size I should get to get low profile tires - so my car will be a little lower.

Im debating on some new tires to get, also kind of want some chrome rims instead - but a happy medium might be to just put low pro tires on the stock rims I have on my 03 gs300 - Anyone know where I can get a picture of this to see if it is the look I am wanting? TIA Ross

Anyone know if there is a site that will tell you if they will fit or not?

20 inch asanti af131's. tires are nitto nt555. rear wheels are 20x10, fronts wheels are 20x9.5. Wondering if these would fit on my 03 gs300? Probably a dumb question I know, im just not sure how to figure that out. Also wondering why sometimes rims will say if they are for FWD or RWD - what does that matter? The GS300 is RWD, has traction control, does that matter? TIA

PROBLEM SOLVED Save this one for the archives... Basically a guy that does mechanic work out of his garage fixed this, and I can see a dealer charging all kinds of money for troubleshooting as its such a random/strange noise. It was best described as sounding like acorns or rocks were rolling towards you when you take off from a stand still. It sounded like water a little bit when we were going slow. Basically he took a coat hanger and cleaned out the hole in the evaporation tray was, when the ac is on and condensates it goes to this reserve and drips out the hold, it was clogged and not draining properly. ALso - he noticed my anti-freeze was low (something you should check too) there were no leaks, but he did find there were air bubbles in the line which was causing some noises too. Hope this can help others that have the same issue - reply here or mail me if you need more details, my mechanic can get more specific.

will take it to a guy and see if it is the wheel bearings - doesn't sound right to me, but im definitely no mechanic!

This is on a 2003 GS300 with 90k. It really sounds like something in the AC vents etc - thats the area it sounds like its coming from, will check the tires though... It is time to get new tires, any recommendations for a good all-weather tire?

Not sure how to describe this - but I can only hear it when the radio is off and all windows up etc... It only happens when you start moving from a stand still. It basically sounds like there are some rocks or something "rolling" from the front of the car to the driver seat. Like there is something in the air filter tube or something because it just sounds like something is rolling towards me? I replaced the air filter the other day - it was full of bees and spiders, but other than that it wasnt too bad - I looked at what I could see and didn't see anything noticeable - any ideas for me? TIA

In case I dont hear anything on my other post... For my 03 GS300 with 88k (pure highway miles) I just bought a case of mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30 at costco (29 bucks seemed cheap for 6 1quart bottles) Went to tom wood and got the OEM oil filter airfilter and gasket (about $30 total) air filter was $20!!! Ive changed oil on my van (mercury villager) and old car (nissan 240sx) so wanted to see if there was anything to be cautious of? Does the air filter need changed every 5k? Seemed to be expensive is the reason I ask. Whats the $2 gasket he sold me (just asked if I needed one...I said I guess!) How many quarts should it take? Thanks! Ross

Looking for a place to get my 03 GS300 oil changed. I went to tom wood on 96th st and its nice - just super expensive! Or if you are a mechanic and do work on the side let me know. I'm an IT guy so can trade services if thats appealing to anyone as well.. TIA Ross

Im just wanting some nice looking chrome rims with low pro tires - 17-19". id like the tires to be just a couple inches in height off the rim. Other than that its all about looks...

Thanks for the link- those rims are pretty nice - but they are FWD so im not going to mess with them... $800 a set though, hard to pass up! Any suggestions on a good place to get rims used/cheap?

Someone selling a set of arelli jovan 18" They said I would need a kit if I have a RWD car? What are they talking about? Other than the kit - would they fit? Would love to see some GS300 pics with rims to get a good idea of what it will look like. Thanks 2003 GS300

Whats the easiest/cheapest way to get more bass out of the stock system? I think the sub in the back just needs another amp and it would probably work a bit better, its not bad for factory, but I would like a little more bass. Is there power feeds in the rear already or do I have to run it up to the battery? Thanks for any advice Ross

Ive got an 03 GS300, 65k - wondering what CAI I should get for it, and how difficult the installation is - also wondering what kind of performance increase I should expect, and if the gas mileage is any different? If you have some good places to order from that would help to - or if there is any group buys, let me know about that as well. Bought this car a few months ago and would like to start to work on it a bit - Thanks Ross
