The 2nd Gen Lexus GS300 Continues to Shine on with Upcoming Intake Kit, 827-705
Drifting and Japanese car culture brought forward some head turning cars that have influenced the way enthusiasts modify their cars. The 2nd generation Lexus GS300 that gave the automotive world a roomy luxury executive car and boasted comfort and looks with the potential to pack some power and burn some serious rubber. One of the most iconic renditions of this car is that of Japanese Super GT and D1 Grand Prix driver Nobuteru Taniguchi with his vibrant red GS, known in Japan as the Toyota Aristo. As it was one of the few big body sedans in the D1 series, it grabbed attention from fans and contributed to the wave of customization. One of the most popular styles for the GS is the “VIP” look, with aggressive stance, extremely low ride height, and wide high-end wheels featuring a large, polished dish.
