Default First Pics on CL of my GS Before/After L-tuned

OK, since signing up on CL I have been bitten by the Mods bug. I first had a set of L-tuned springs and shocks put on. This weekend I installed a set of L-tuned side skirts, DSR front brace and Danzien sway bars(rear installed, front to be done this week). I also have an Injen intake to install. I attemped to install it and had one screw strip out so I could not get all the existing stuff out. I also did the DIY chrome front grill. Anyway, here is a before picture.

looks like a completely different car with the drop and l-tuned skirts and the sad part is you're probably only touching the tip of the mod-iceberg...its all downhill from here! haha! Nice work

those were my first mods as well. I can't imagine how it is for some of these guys. I turn around and look at my car three or four times when I'm walking away from it. If I had half the mods that some of the CL premier have. I'd probably just stand there and stare at it.

Looks good. Those were my same mods the day I bought my GS. Eventually switched out the L-Tuned suspension for the Tein CS a couple months later. haha. Thats the way it goes. Kit looks good too. Spend that money

Next on your list of mods should be wheels, front lip, bumper, roof spoiler, a second or third job, yadda yadda yadda.

Thanks for all the word of encourgement! I used to spend all my money on mountain bikes(I have a Ventana El Salty worth about $5K and a Bianchi single speed worth about $3K) but I am now spending it on my baby. My wife things I am a bit crazy with this car, and I kind of am. Once I put the side skirts on I did notice that I need a front lip now. The TTE looks good and that may be the way I go. I really don't want to change out any bumpers. I also like the way the rear roof spoiler looks on other peoples cars. What is the one to go with? I think my next purchase is an exhaust, then front lip, then new shoes. I notice some Zauber Gettins for sale in the classified's. What does everyone think about those? Anyway, thank for all the support and information. You guys are helping me do my part for the economy .
