Default Pics of GS400 with the Dronells, this time I used a GOOD camera :-)

Hey guys its gonna be really nice this weekend, so I figured I would give my new lady a treat!! I put my wheels on today, and took some pics with QUALITY camera, not my damn cell phone. Its quite a few pics, so I'll just warn you now!

You can save all the SUV jokes, i have already renamed the car a RX400!!

I have also been polishing/waxing/compounding this car like a freak getting it to look like my ex-lady, I think its looking pretty good so far

Let me know what you all think.




Please excuse the wax residue in some crevices, I TOLD you I have been cleaning this thing like crazy!!






The fruit of all the polishing

and

Your car looks really nice I'm not going to joke about it looking like an SUV, you just got the car a week ago and it's a work in progress. I can't wait to see it when you add more mods to it

D,

I purchased my lowering springs even before I got my car. You're banned!
Just keep the height till next spring Living in the NE, you're excused.

Hey guys thanks for going easy on me with the height issues, I HATE the ride height and mushiness of the car when braking (dive, etc). I just had to see how my paint would hold up against the chrome. That is the way I gauge how good my shine is, it should be even or close to the rims, not just the wheel shiny and the car all dull

IMHO, this color NEEDS chrome, or some finish with a deep luster to it, to really bring it out!

The wheels will only be on for a couple days though, i'm not trying to get caught out there by Jack Frost!

Wow big bro, you weren't lying when you said you were driving an RX now. Paint looks like it comming along well looks fresh. Please take it easy at high speeds in turns, no one has the roll over rates for that new RX400 you got.
