Yes sir! I feel like it can go lower... comparing to a bunch of other pics, maybe it's the 19's...
I've been having small issues with the controller (as you are already aware) with it adjusting the front right or front left for 5+ minutes or having unequal heights when it says it's done.

Maybe I'm not using the controller right either...
Actually, I dumped mine on Super Low the other day and when i brougt it back up, the right rear was lazy as hell lol. It raised a little, but def not as much as it should of so I drove around my subdivision for a couple minutes and when i pulled into my driveway, i noticed my controller was showing up arrows on the rear and it leveled back out. I think when it gets confused and a height high activation with the controller on NORMAL SELECT doesn't clear it..then drive around slowly so the car "gets right" That happened one or two other times, but only when in Super Low mode. I may just go max level 8 to avoid any drama in the future.

I actually really liked it. The growl was nice everytime the exhaust fired up. The only reason I swapped mine out is because my new exhaust is coming in with my next shipment of japanese goodies for this car.

Even though I have cutouts on my car, I'm thinking of getting an axle-back for when Its closed, so it won't be super quiet. I'm not really sure how much louder it is than factory, but if it's anything like say, a gs430, or even just a tad louder, that would be great. I really love the sound that our v8's can make!

I've thought long and hard about this... and I might have to pass for now. Thanks for the offer Brian - I wish I could.

Thank you! I'm anxious too

Just a quick update - after about 4 weeks, my weathertech mats are in and I love em. Ditched the newspaper floormats
I wish the rear mats were the "over the hump" kind but oh well.. no one will sit in the back anyways.















I think all I'm waiting for now is wheels... gonna be a little while longer...

So not really an update, but more of a brainstorm that I've been doing for the last few months. I'm trying to find the best bodykit to get the LS looking the way I want it. I'll either end up finding a kit and not liking one piece of it or only liking one piece of it and not the rest.

I've been looking at everything from Wald to G Answer to Artisan Spirits to Freedom Legion... and I've come to the conclusion that I can't settle for one kit because it just won't work for me. I've decided to try and price some pieces out and I will photoshop my decision tonight. I'll post it up for you guys to see...
But here's what I came up with:

Aimgain Front bumper


Aimgain Fenders


Wald Rear spoiler and Roof Spoiler




Wald Side Skirts


Artisan Spirits Rear Half Bumper


In the meantime - still waiting for wheels.... Crossing my fingers for the end of March!
