I'm definitely not hating. Just giving my honest opinion.

Second thoughts;

Change the Tails to clear.
Change the rims to chrome.
Change the rims to chrome with black lining.
DROP THAT BABY!

I do apologize if I sounded, harsh, but I mean why ruin a good thing???

Didn't see this thread when you first posted, looking good Considering a similar hood/roof/trunk thing for my wife's track car.

Hope all is well, sounds like you're keeping busy!

I like it...it puts a lot of cars on here to shame.

Yes definately some tire shine as Socal said.

I'm rollin 3-piece 18's now as well, and the performance difference is huge even compared to my 3-piece 19's I had. Although a lot of people think that 18's are too small, if you do it the right way, it can look killer. I'm running a staggered setup with aggressive offsets and tires with a slight stretch. I'm slammed over two inches as well. Everywhere I go, people constantly gawk over the car.

Nice ride!!

Nice GS man ... Don't pay attention to negative comments, haters are just people who are jealous that their cars don't look as good as yours ... Hey man that LED roof spoiler mod is great, I've been wanting to do that since i got the car but didn't think there was a way to do it, You've inspired me !!

Thanks for all comments on the roof spoiler mod. I really am sorry that I lost all the DIY pics I had of it on my drive that crashed. I'll try to snap some more pics of it and do my best to write up the DIY.

Nice ride!!
18s are gonna be the next new thing here. Just like TRD sways that went out of style and came back all of a sudden...haha! Seriously tho, if you like to drive your car hard, you'll want to be lightest 18s possible. Not saying you can't drive hard with 20s but the performance gain with 18s can't be ignored. And I agree that 18s can look sick with the proper offset. I got my 18s from redgs4 and he had stoptechs in the back so the offsets are to accommodate that. Great you got some equips...I wanted those but I think they're discontinued. Now I gotta do a search for pics of your car man.

Oh and yes I gotta put the "pimp juice" next time I snap some pics

Glad to see the additions to your ride since I last saw it.
I think I started maybe 10 threads total. I probably have the lowest post count to date joined ratio here...roughly 4.8 posts a month or just over 1 post a week....

Its really gonna depend on which roof spoiler you're gonna want to hack up. I just took measurements of the roof spoiler. Once I had a rough idea of dimensions desired for the light, I found one on that site that fit the bill. I don't recall the exact one, but I believe it was one for the sc300/400.

I must agree, the car needs some performance to match the looks. The wheels don't compliment the paint job wheel staggered ftw!
