Intuned Online is going to take it back a notch to the time of Sesame Street (yes, Street not that fake Sesame Park crap on TV today) I think most of us grew up watching it or at least I did. In the spirit of our youth today’s letter of the day is “W” as in worked on, wide, wicked and WALD, all of which can be used to describe Joe Oshiro’s Lexus.

Some of our readers may not be familiar with WALD International in Japan but we’re going to try and help. If you live in Japan and own a high end Toyota (Lexus), Mercedes, Bentley GT, or even a Lamborghini and you wanted to solidify your persona as VIP; WALD International is the company whose parts you’re going to obsess over.

Back here on the North American front, finding WALD parts can be sometimes rare. This brings us to our week’s feature Joe Oshiro’s WALD Lexus GS430. Joe’s ride exemplifies both the JDM & VIP lifestyle. His unique and rare choices make the car come to life. The exterior of his car was kept factory black but added the WALD lip kit, JDM window visors, chrome handles and trunk bar. The GS was also equipped with Junction Produce rear spoiler, front grill and roof wing.

The engine was kept un-molested with only the additions of a Fujita intake and Tanabe touring exhaust. Joe chose Airrunner suspension for the GS to give it that ultimate slammed look when parked which helps when you’re sitting on 19” Weds Kranze Bazreia wheels. The VIP trends continue through the interior of the car with Vistoso VIP curtains and a barrage of Junction Produce accessories. To top off the GS there’s a full sound system from ARC Audio including a custom truck setup and monitors in the head rests.

We salute Joe on his great build which shows us the partnership between JDM & VIP lifestyle and that many of us are not “W” worthy.
