That looks great, Jess. Your car looks excellent since you've lowered it and added the taillights.

Default What is your spring and shock setup?

I have a 1995 GS300, that I want to lower with Eibach springs and KYB shocks. I'm concerned about tire wear. Is it a lot of wear and tear on the tires? What is your setup? Does your wheels camber a lot?

Thanks

I would kill for a set of JDM headlights, tails are just way overpriced it seems

nice touch man. On my black car i prefer the standard aristo lights though as the turning signals have a smoked look to them. Is it me or do the turning signals on those look whiter than the standard aristo pre97 pieces ?

They are white,only the two years 96 & 97 can this way.Thats how you can tell what yr. the car is.
The OEM 96,97 tail lights will not fit 93-95 cars,as the key hole is in a different location.
I had to relocate the key hole on my car to be able to put on the aristo 93-95 tail lights.moved it about 2" to the right.the black plug is where my key hole went.
so now you know something new about the car. hehe

These lights look awesome on your car as well as on light colored 1st gens! I have to agree with gompkaa in that the smoked ones look better on the darker colored cars.
