but yeah, like i said b4, our roads up here are horrendous. the 35 series tires combined with a lowered GS will destroy my rims fast! i'll make do for the time being.as for tint... i had tints in all my previous cars. back in the day, the tint ticket was only 35 bux. now, it's 125 per citation. that REALLY adds up fast. on my previous cars, i had very dark tint, and i was always on edge whenever a cop car is near by. w/o the tint, i dunno how to explain it.. but it feels so liberating and feels so free, to drive around w/o a care of being pulled over. hehe

u know wut? i don't understand the purpose of the headlight washers...so.. they basically just spray washer fluid onto the lights, and they just drip off. honestly... how well does that really work? hehe. i'd rather have the car w/o the washers...

Just for kicks, my bro's M5.
and my bro's M5 trying to catch up to me!
ok, well, he wasn't trying to catch up to me. he just kept on toying with me on the highway, my 300hp couldn't match up to his 400hp.

Welcome, everyone here will jump on you for not lowering your car but I say it's YOUR car. I live in the Bay Area and the roads are hella jacked up. I see a bunch of people here on 20's and slammed but I hate watching out for potholes and whatnot. I understand your decision not to lower it. Looks good. Your Bro's M5 is Hawt too.

You Canadians need to man-up, eh?
A mild drop won't make much difference in the ride,
but the car would look 1067 times better!
Good start, though.

i've had a lowered car b4, and it does look great, but the ride, i wasn't too pleased with. i'm still very happy with my ride and the rims. can it look better... yes... imo, does it look good right now? hell yeah!
Thanks for your input so far, guys.
p.s. this is the type of potholes we get in my city:

The GS looks great as do the wheels, very nice. I think you'd be surprised how much drop you could get away with and still have a nice ride and good looks. I'm just up the road from you, Alaska and our rods aren't a whole lot better. I'm rolling on 19's with Bilstein PSS's lowered to the top of tire and have no problems. Winter tires are the stock 16's with studded tires. I use the GS year round with no problem. I do have about a 1/2 mile of dirt road that I need to take it easy on before I hit the pavement.
