Default Shots of recent upgrades

Took some pics of recent additions to the GS after finding my tripod (what's up now Bluelex), exterior includes L-Tuned aero kit, L-Sportline rear bumper/window spoiler and TTE lip, big thanks to Lexforlife and Johnee78 for all the help.



RMM Brake upgrade, thanks ReggieK for moral support that day

Staggered Maya's with 285/30/20 Fat setup on the rear

We installed the TTE lip but later the seam was redone and painted along with front bumper to look like one piece, check it out


Positive comments only or someone big and ugly will visit you.

Thanks TLW, a few minor glitches made this an all day install, absent these issues it's pretty straightforward if you have some brake experience.

There are so many new FLA members, you cant keep up of who's there and who's not eh? LOL

Indio, I bet the pics do the car no justice man. One my favorite GS colors combined with chrome is white, its just so puurty. the ride looks so "crisp" man, like you just put a boatload of starch on it.

Its time for you to team up with Alsilverbullet for some dayshots, since you guys are twins. Wasnt there another guy named pmatrix or something like that with a white car with Maya's? Al's brother in law I think?

Nice job bro Just for kicks I would like to see this baby slammed lower, I bet it would look even smoother!

Very nice! I was just looking at the same Maya's at a shop. Sweet setup.

Questions...

1. My L-Tuned Aero package will be here in a couple of weeks, easy DIY?
2. If I was to buy the TTE lip already painted is it a DIY also? Does it still look good if not painted on vehicle as you did?
3. Where did you get the L-Tuned badges?
4. Do you want to sell your L-Tuned badges?
5. Where in Florida... Down south with the rest of that crew?

Default Ahh mannn

I don't usually speak this way but...there's a new playa on the set high rollin in the sweet white chariot. You're a baller now. Ooh, that hurt. Let's do this again.
Hey Eric, nice car man. It was a pleasure to witness some of the growing pains. I can't belive this is the same car I first saw in Dec. Wow...you go boy. There I go again.
