After two years of abuse, my daily drive finally got some TLC

I bought my 2000 GS3 about two years ago. After daily driving it and putting close to 30k miles on it, my front bumper was cracked and paint was peeling, fenders were torn up from having my wheel rub against it and my rear bumper was scratched up. I dropped it off to my body shop to get the following things done:

  • Replace timing belt/t-stat/seals/etc
  • Properly flare and extend front fenders (approx 1") to clear wheels
  • Installed adj UCA to fix camber issues in the front
  • fill in front bumper side light and fix/repaint front bumper
  • repaint rear bumper
  • blend doors and repaint hood


I think this car is good to go for another 100k miles

I snapped some quick pics this morning on the way to work. Let me know what you all think.















And one rolling shot

It would look much cleaner minus the roof rack.

They are actually Koenig (not to be mistaken for Konig) WRVs. Apparently straight from Japan... I bought it off a local guy and had them refinished

You have great taste, and the GS3 is a great daily! I'm a former GS4 owner and prob my most favorite car of all time.

Looks good. It's a Lexus so it'll go another 200K at least.
