Default Before and After: THe DROP "Thanks Darden"

First off I want to thank Darden for photoshopping me these wheels on my car that gave me the inspiration to make this move...... I was close to just going w/ some regular chrommies.... Glad i went this route and Now I have a few more idea's I'd like to pursue.

As you know I was going to delay the suspension but after a thread I had started I felt that it was a necessity for me to Drop the sucker. I hadn't realized what a visually stunning impact it would make until I actually dropped it. Well as promised.... here are the pictures.... Thanks ClubLexus!

BEFORE:



and AFTER:




This is a drop w/ 1 finger up front and Just barely Tuckin' in the rears.... on Apexi' WS Coilovers

MOre mods to come

Very very nice. The more I hang out with my buddy with the Black/Black S55 with 20" Black LD-5's the more I like the look. I am going to have to buy a black car (or dark gray) just to do this. I need to have 2 cars though, one shiny and one darth vader!

Car looks about 10times better! I love the way the black/chrome theme compliments the wheels/car (wheel face, lips , centercap & window trim, side trim, etc) good job

That's very nice!

I'm thinking about painting my car just to go black on black.

Thanks.... PandaGS430... your car is prolly one of my top favorites on this board. Everything is Simple Neat looking.... very classy... but pay attention and there is alot of work put into it!!! I like ur wheels alot!!!

there is also a White GS w/ LD1's silver.... I also think that car looks SICK w/ it!!! you know the more I think about it.... there' s not much options for the GS community. Body kit wise where we could seperate ourselves from the rest..... hmmmmm

You never lied there, IMHO any +2 wheel package should come with a written letter of consent that the car will be lowered within 1-3months LOL
