This state lets me know how much of a rookie I am... How did you spot and know its 01 wheel? Chrispy at his best I guess. Anyways nice azz pick up. Mods ehhh.... DF210 springs, spacers, exhaust, tint and a 01 grill. These are quality mods that are inexpensive yet noticeable.

Welcome to the 2nd Gen Family...

schase, let me know whenever if you are down to trade for those lights,
I live in brooklyn like you.

hit me with an email kosi718@aol.com

and nah i dont have the LS 430 rims, the old owner just did me a big favor and said since I didnt like them, he'd go half and half with the wheels I have now. so that all worked out.

the bumper gets like that when you are in NYC man, people bumping and grindin on your backside.

and as for the steering wheel, the old owner is going to give me the old steering wheel,
for the simple fact that that airbag light wont come off for one, and the e-shift doesnt work.
I CANT have that nonsense going on, so OG steering wheel will be put on shortly to rectify those issues.

my mechanic said all I have to do suspension wise is tie rods and control arms.

oh yeah btw, i spent 5K on the car.

what do you guys think of that price?

the leather caught my eyes. no rips, holes anywhere. all clean.

and i love how the steering wheel looks, but it sucks that the airbag light stays on and the e-shift doesnt work. ive really gotta change that asap.
