Default 1G Gs300, not so VIP

Well Im bored and waiting for my food to cook. Although I've only owned Toyotas, I used to be on this forum ALOT years ago since all my friends had honda's and I always wanted an EF. Done a few more things to this car, although I have A LONG WAY TO GO.

Near future plans are Aristo front bumper, JOB design side skirts, rear bumper & small lip spoiler (not like the M5, a little thicker), Devils front lip, Royale CF roof wing, and Greddy exhaust. Not so future plans, but definite none-the-less are TT swap (shooting for USDM Supra motor and Toyota chaser R154 tranny, but a full Aristo motor/tranny will do), HID 6000k lows and 3000k yellow fogs, 2 tone grey/lt grey interior, in-dash w/ nav and back up camera (dont want bluetooth). Will be replacing my Tein CS-t's with air and more aggressive wheels eventually....Im focusing on a buying a house after the exterior mods I listed are done.

This wouldnt be honda-tech with out criticism (good spirited sarcasm) so let's hear it. Im some what pleased with where it's at. Although it has a lot of dings and small dents, all of which were caused by other idiots. Im not responsible for a single flaw out of about 15 on the body ::rage:: Enough with my babbling, here we GO.

Old tint, old ride height, old USDM cleared headlights w/ no centercaps


Old tint and the ground is uneven so it's sitting about 1/4" higher then normal and no centercaps on first picture




New tint + Aristo visors


Aristo headlights


fatty Aristo strut bar


CF bpillars, JP curtains/neck pads



LED interior (door/puddle lights, c pillar lights not pictured)


Supra TT calipers, OE pads, Techna fit SS lines, old crappy rip off rotors (centercaps not on)


Swapped out the crappy rotors I got ripped off with for Stop Tech slotted rotors (centercaps still not on)


Dash kit (Im aware it's so-so quality, I didnt research enough)

OP: Looks like you're off to a good start. I agree with the different wheels comments. Never seen those curtains before. Can't decide if I like them or not.

CR-V: Beautiful. Nuff said.

Sorry, Supra's LONNNNGGGG gone...and it was a PIECE last time I saw it. Im keeping the wheels because they DONT have a lip. Would really like a set of work emotion cr's in polished or chrome with a low-mid 20's offset

Current wheels & air on an Aristo

cant remember, got them from jpmotoring.com

Heres a couple more recent pictures. HID's are sittin in my room 6k lows/3k fogs. Aristo bumper is at the body shop. And new leather is in the mail. I've been really tempted to buy new wheels recently but I must resist.





and winterized

Wheels are fine, just needs much more low.

Sounds like you're going to get air, can't wait to see pics. Most JZS147's I see look like hell, but yours is very clean.

Im a silly guy.......I get alot of good "function" out of them. They create more shade in the summer too, keep the sun directly off your neck. You should get a couple sets.

Definitely nowhere near where I want it. I had some set backs when I was a little younger but but the car is solid. Im working on a house situation once I get my hids, bumper, and leather put on. But Im about to start something new at work and my pay will be more then doubled within 2 years so stuff like new paint/air/better wheels will come in a few years. Gonna drive it pretty much how it is for a while. I hit 192,000 this week and I've been told by lexus mechanics it feels smoother then alot of the newer customers cars theyve driven. Im just glad to have paint vs. my old primered car
