Ok, I am doing 19 chrome 5 spoke, lowered a bit with CS, maybe a tte lip, white lights and clear all around, chrome grill and detailed to the brightest shine I can get on a silver car.

I probably wont be tinting the windows and if I do, it will be the lightest I can go.

This fits your, springs and wheels category. Yeah, I know I could do much more to it, but I am an old man (37) and just want something I can handle some turns in that has personality but isnt to far over the top.

I dont think I have seen much here tha t I dont really like, it's amazing what others do with thier cars.

I know people are getting into the clean look, but it needs a tail spoiler of some kind to balance it out. My opinion ...

The best part is you could go for VIP style and still have damn near race suspension by going with front and rear STB, sways, rear brace, rear 6-link, the works. This way you can be snappin necks in the corners and sitting still.

Default never ending question

I have thought long and hard about this question you have posed. It really depends on how Atl is where you live, drive ect. In my opinion, it is rough having a car with 20" wheels as a d.d. They wear too easy, easily injured in everyday driving, and just a very uncomfortable ride. A nice iced out stereo is nice imo, nothing too crazy, but if you go golfing you can have one bag in the trunk. Suspension is nice with meaty tires. I love driving my car since I downsized from 20" to 18" wheels. Just more civil of a vehicle.
Bumper rash happens, paint flaws will happen in the city (least it did to me in hartford), and I drove my car 5 months out of 14 I lived there. I think something subtle and clean will work. I think anything else is a show car, and should be brought out during the weekends. You do have other d.d. cars...so I guess it is all up to you, and how you feel about spending xxx amount of dollars. My main thing is that I take care of my gs still, and save up for something new. Good luck Mike.
