Yeah, I got him down some off the original ad. I'm happy with them and I haven't seen anyone else with these on a GS so I feel original.
I'm in Fayetteville; you have PM. Hit me up sometime.

GOOO BIRDS! Green Bay is going down (again)! I'll be at the game tonight so I'll be able to usher the cheeseheads out of the Dome.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'me trying to do her some justice. My only delimma now is weather to install the NF's or get rca's. I know I want the LS brakes so I think I'll be getting rca.

Certainly brighter. Hard to tell based on the pics, but the afters look a bit green. Is that just a function of the camera/picture, or has it really got a tinge of green to the fogs?

Its probably partially the blackberry camera. They are a little green while warming up because the 4300K is a little blue until fully warm and the fogs have a yellow capsule inside. The last pic may not be "completely" warmed up.

20's are gone, Picked up a set of 3GS chrome the other day. I may be getting rid of these too; just depends on whether another deal comes through or not. Enjoy!

I absolutely love it. Not harsh but you can tell its lowered. Definitely a sportier feel. The car doesn't feel floaty anymore. And on top of that, it looks better.

I would have liked to hae seen the car lowered on the 20's. Car looks clean but I'm not much of a fan for oem rims due to offset and being sunk in. GL maybe you will find some more rims soon.

I fit the 20's back up after lowering (briefly). I thonk I snapped a pic or 2. I'll see if I can find 1.
I'm a fan of 18's though. I'd like to get 19's but I don't like the difference in tire prices. I'm currently looking for some more wheels. If I can find 19's I like with good tires for under $900 I might jump on them, but I'm not in a rush either way.
