one of the annoying thing is... theres no aux for my ipod!
looking at ebay now, the cheapest is 150 for an aux adapter to be installed :(
i cant believe theres a cassette player in the deck!!

Cassette adapter, that's how I do it in my car. Sound quality isn't bad at all if you do it right.

That's a very nice GS you picked up. I own a GS myself but an older model. Anyways you should head over to www.clublexus.com to check out what other lexus owners have done to their cars. Just want to warn you though, making a lexus nicer or faster isn't cheap.

You just bought a $50k lexus and you want to "pimp it out."

Are you fucking serious, it's fucking nice as it is.

Maybe you should of bought some POS beater honda and pimped it out.


Hopefully you just made this thread to brag about your new purchase and arn't really serious.

If you've ever been to clublexus you'd see that alot of people still mod their cars even though its a lexus.

its about personalization, making it unique. its the same thing people do instead of buying a boxed Dell.

Like I said, maybe you should of just spent a couple grand on a Honda Prelude or something if you wanted to "trick it out."

I guess i'll go trick out my $80k mercedes too with some 24'' wheels.

JMO....

Edit: And I hope you are not serious when you asked if $44k was a "good price."

Did you seriously buy a car without being certain what they were selling for. Seems like to me you're not satisfied with what you paid for since it doesnt seem like enough to please you.

So I guess your answer is no, you didn't get a "good deal."

Making it unique huh... like every Lexus I see around here with mirror polished 20+" wheels.

Funny that all the people customizing their own PCs use the same neon lights, case window, etc, and call it custom. I never understood that. My PC is more custom than any of those for simply being one of the rare unbutchered ones that DOESNT light up the whole city.

wow, what low self esteem you must have. to make yourself feel better about your purchase you have to try to rub it in to the poor fellow who's driving a Hyundai. Who knows, maybe the Hyundai driver is laughing all the way to the bank as he didn't have to drop thousands of dollars on basic transportation. it's all about priorities I guess.

Nope. But that is absolutely funny though because thats nearly exactly what my setup looks like. 37" + glass desk, only with Klipsch speakers on the sides and a Logitech keyboard...

http://members.cox.net/exdeath/wow_sm.jpg

My desk is the Studio RTA A-line, chosen because it's got full support under glass at all 4 legs instead of the "L" design that is only supported at the back edge. I had a 21" CRT prior to the LCD and I wanted to make sure the desk was solid and not bouncy.

"Pimp" and "ride" are two words that never need to be in the same sentence. You have a good looking car, don't fuck it up.
