1998 Lexus GS400 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front headlights/foglights get condensation inside the plastic housing.
Big problem for Lex. owners.
The plastic front door hinges make a clicking sound when the door is opened/closed!
General comments?
A high perf. luxury sedan. I modified my GS400 with a MagnaFlow Exhaust, K&N FIPK intake, and had my ECU reprogrammed at JET Perf. in H. B CA. I have 20's on my car and the power is unbelievable. I destroyed a 2006 Chevy Silverado SS, 350Z, and a G35!
