background story: been used as a family car since 2001, purchased at $6900. was originally that dark purplish blue but after an accident was painted silver(horrible paintjob by a home-garage mechanic). after both my parents purchased 2 3rd gen Lexus GS300s, the car was mine before i even turned 16. this is the car i first learned how to drive and that's why i plan to keep it for a long time. another reason i just recently learned (in 2011) that's keeping me attached to it, is that when my Grandfather from my Mom's side (Chamorro side) passed away -RIP- my Mom used some of the money she received to purchase this car.
how it looked when i first began the whole modification process.
how it's been looking lately.
