Default time line of my car from start to now

Well these pix were taken a few months (june 08) after i got my car-6000k hid fogs and headlights, g35 wheels tint and megan coilovers.



after i got the g35 rims put on i got sick of the missing center caps. so i took it upon myself to make me some lexo ones.





here is a DIY thread i made
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...entercaps.html

then i got hit in the back of my car and then my car went to the shop Then BEHOLD... new mods. tte lip, blick RR spoiler, RMM spoiler, ls460 retro




Then came new rims and ALOT of new tires lol




test fit of the new rims

here are a few pix of the car with the new rims when i was bored.





after about a few moths of that i decided to dump the 255/35s and go 245/35. pix below will tell you how that ended up for me
Passenger side rear
[IMG][/IMG]
drivers side rear



Then i got me a new airforce cup suspension and the installer completely screwed with the height adjustment and bottomed out everything i had!! here are pix of me bottomed out.

i got to admit though i do like the tucking




Then i decided to get my car worked on again by Jtran here in houston. awesome guy and does awesome work. he dailed my suspension in, shaved all my fenders, installed a you zealand SS kit 10mm spacers up front and put new tires on for me.



One pic from a meet



pix a friend snapped after i got my car worked on




then here is a pic fresh after a detail an hour later


in these pix.i dumped the RMM spoiler for a JP replica. i also changed all the tires to yokohoma s-drives 225/35 up front and 255/30 in the back and got me rear adjustable toe arms installed and i got the aristo garnishments for the rear doors.




nicer looking pic from a local meet


well soon thhe car will be going into the shop for a new paint job either OEM or a whole new color with refinished wheels!

well that is my car guys hope you enjoyed the ride

Looks nice! You should get a better camera though The pics dont do the color any justice. Was the last picture from a Planet Zero meet? I think I saw it about a month ago
