Very sick Jon. Where do you set the height at when you are driving around? When you want to set it at a certain height how do you go about doing that? Do you look at the gauges and can tell from them how high the car is. Or does the airrunners come where you can program it to remember certain heights?

Different people have different modifying tastes but in my own opinion, I really like the CLEAN HIGH-END MODIFICATIONS APPROACH and this car exemplifies that perfectly.

No crazy *** needless worthless stuff on it, just high-end top shelf product and well done.

If there were ever a VIP dictionary I'd expect to see this car on the cover!!!! Custom to the hilt indeed.

GS300Rich - I normally raise it about 2" from the pictures for driving. At the height in the pictures, my mufflers would be quite close to the ground already, and there would be NO WAY I could make the steep incline to the front porch of my house. In fact, when I took the pictures, that was the very first time the car ever got up there hehehe.

ted920 - Thanks man. This is also the main reason why I said I am going to stop taking pics of it for a while. I will not be adding anymore stuff except engine works (if that ever bears fruitation). I really don't want to end up modding the car for the sake of modding because that's when you start sticking on junk to the car that is unnecessary and could throw the overall look off-balance.

GSXOTIC - Nah, man. Your car is on FIRE. And I got the idea of taking front porch pictures from ya when you took pics of your car in front of your new house.

GS wanted - I see photos of VIP cars in VIP mags and in all seriousness, there's no way my car could ever be put in the same league as these guys.....maybe after some crazy widebody conversion and 19x12 wheels.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Everyone else, thanks a lot guys. I got a lot of help from CL for ideas.

Yeah, but some of those are a bit extreme IMO. I know VIP has it's different meanings to different people in that scene but I see your car as a "tastefully" VIP vs. "extreme" VIP. All in all it's HOTT nonetheless.

00lexondub - Funny you should say that, because that's exactly the category they would put my car in. You could only be in the "extreme" category when you do a full respray, scissor doors, extreme widebody, etc. Something I don't think I will be doing at all to my car.... (maybe I should do a choptop?!?!??!)

Broadway - LOL, thanks I guess. Thanks for putting a really sick image in my head of your car humping my car. Hahahhaha.

GS wanted - Yep, I agree with ya. I am trying to keep it respectfully tasteful. Which is why I am stopping my cosmetic mods, except for maybe removing my tint. Trying to go for the "aquarium" look.

NooP - Like Pete, said, I got the cf abflug grill, it's the same as D-MAN63's grill except his is fiberglass. DSR also makes a very similar grill for a lot less money!

I think I've run out of things to say about your car Jon. You can only outdo yourself so many times.
