Default Irish gs300, not the usual over here!

Howaya guys, it's not an aristo, but a jzs all the same!

Basically I got it about 2 months back and have been fiddling with it since. Put in driftworks coilovers last night and sat it on it's ****!

Here's a few pics from the day I picked it up until last night, let me know what you think!

Plans are tint lights, yellow fogs, jap plates, wind deflectors and a few other small bits!























Coilover time! Yeeeehaw











The wheels were in bits when i got them, hence the spray!

Great!
Your car has gone from looking plain stupid with that thing on the hood, to looking very sharp, nice wheel, coils and everything!
That's a transformation I like!

Good luck!

Doesn't look to bad but gotta say the rims or the car doesnt look right, I think its the fact that its not lowered, I think if you lower it the car will look better.

You can enhance the look just by lowering the car

Oh, snap!! You got rid of that hood ornament!! Looks great now!! Not really feeling the black color of the new rims, but they still look better than stock.

Is that antenna stock? I say shave it, and maybe a sharkfin on the roof instead, if you really need an antenna.

LOVE the drop!! You rubbin'??

BTW, how's that switchblade key working out? Been thinking about doing that for my wife's 4runner.

Welcome to CL!!
