Nice looking car, but I like Carbon MUCH more. Thumbs down on the 400s grill, orange bumper lights, and eyelids.

Looks like a bit of camber in the rear...? Maybe an illusion--they're Eibachs, right?

Nice work as always bro!!!
Thanks! Here is a link to one of the threads when i had both.

I actually had the GS300 before I bought this GS400 so it has been a much longer ongoing project.

lol yeah, It certainly doesn't help that they are both black.

Thanks, the Wald is one of my favorites. Luckily for me the kit came with the car when I bought it. It had not yet been installed and we put it on when we got the whole car resprayed.

I agree with the negatives minus the eyelids. Something about how it looks at night that justifies it.

The rear is a bit cambered. The car was originally on K-Sport coilovers. I swapped the suspension from the GS4 to the GS3 and vice-versa.

Here you can see a picture of the ride heights before the swap.

Thanks, it is amazing how a few painted and smoked pieces can change the whole look of the car.

nope, the tires are the same. i think it is the tire shine adding the effect. they are pretty stretched on the gs4. not stretched at all on my gs3

Looking real good, I have always love how your car has always look.

Where did you get the rear window visor from?

From the last time that you posted pictures of your car I still have one of your pictures as a desktop backround on my laptop.

it is a little long and hits as it goes into park. yeah to each his own. i don't discriminate modding. everyone wants their own look.

that's pretty cool! you mean the blick roof spoiler. that was another part that came with the car but uninstalled when i purchased it. l-tunedparts.com carries them.
