looks really good my friend. It seems a rear bumper is all you need to complete the body kit. best of luck-

fake rivets makes rob cry

other than that the car is coming along nicely- however, you are never done modding.

nice car though

I'm not into the cut engine cover look, but I sure do like the beefy TRD strut bar. I think it looks alot better than the DSR one that is the only one that will fit the 430 I think it may look better with no engine cover.

I'm not feelin the front lip spoiler either.

Very nice but the front and sides look so good it's crying out for a rear lip. Don't ever say you're done. That's when you're in trouble because guys around here will always point ouit what's needed next. For example, the wheels look nice but I'm sure if money were no object you'd get some high end wheels. Definitely think about a rear lip though. Again, looks good.

Thanks for all the compliments guys....much appreciated.

LSportGS4: I am in Dlelray Beach...and you are right, those are L-Sportline sides, not L-Tuned.

Doug: I have been looking for the rear skirt, but most of the ones that I have seen do not seem to integrate well. Any ideas are welcome.

T.L.W: Thanks. Yes, this is the only way to make it work. The LSD with the lower gearing is awesome. Manually shifting the car is incredible. (Lost to an AMG 55 though, but not badly)

LexForLIfe: I am in Delray. I would love to go to the meet. I will PM you.

Rob: Dont cry...the rivets can actually be removed. So I just tell myself they are real

Reggiek: You are right. I am just taking a break in modding this car. I am focusing on my Evo now. I actually like these wheels. I cant bring myself to pay an arm and a leg for wheels unless they are for performance. i.e) SSR GT7s on the Evo.
The performance wheels that I actually wanted do not go well with the luxury look. Thanks for the compliments.

Great combos. It flows really well. I think it would look good with the Lsportline rear. You should get some clear side markers next. A cheap mod that makes a big difference

personally i am not sure about cutting the engine cover, but whatever floats your boat

and you should try to get the car to lower more
