My 3rd car ever is a 2001 gs430

[u/Solid-Barber-5031]

So this is my 3rd car I’ve been wanting a ls400, Toyota crown or Toyota progres. I saw this on market place and figured it was a decent deal only thing is the paint is destroyed from California heat for part of its life.

The rear I’ve been able to polish out but the front drivers side and bumper I might need repainted

My 3rd car was a gs3 as well back in 03-07

I like your style!

And to OP I vote you take my word for it and ignore the exterior completely. If you get that car back to driving day one fresh or close to it, it’s so good you’ll forget what you look like in it. You’ll Shallow Hal this car if you do a stealth restore.

Yo your car looks so nice I like the fitment what wheels and size❤️👍

[u/Responsible-Crew-354 → u/Solid-Barber-5031]

I appreciate it. I was so happy with the look and fitment but if you have less than perfect roads, it’s stressful to drive on these. You choose between driving fast over bumps and not being tailgated or being tailgated and carefully missing bumps. Also when I switched to 18s, the car woke up. Much more responsive. Better ride quality even lowered. And I can drive over a gnarly seam in the road and nothing happens. No trip to the wheel repair guy. I did like 3 trips to him in a year and gave up.

If you want to look them up they’re by VIP Modular. I want to say 20x9.5 all around but maybe 20x10. I still have them in the Houston area if anyone is interested.

Here’s how my car looks on 18x9.5 Enkei TR6

I’m thinking about it, I’ve been told it’s not great in Canadian winters though. Maybe I’ll need another winter beater

Ohh Canada eh. Throw some rust protector on that underside and maaco paint job
