Default New Member Part 2!!!

Ok guys, lets do this again. I have a gs430 with a fabulous front lip kit, carson side skirts and rear lip. I am also rolling on 20" asanti af120s. My kit was repainted and fitted, thanks to all your comments. What do u guys think now? Does the paint job match and is everything aligned correctly? And I also had my windows tinted in the front. Any other suggestions? I know a bunch of you guys don't like my bling rims, but I love them. Thanks guys.

P.s. The first picture is before I got the kit repainted and fitted, the rest are after.

Next will probably airbags. And then maybe a full body kit. Any other minor suggestions jadu? I have only had the car for 3 months and i learn something new from the forum everyday. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks itschris. I'm not sure what else I should do besides air bags and a full bumper kit. I'm reading the forum everyday trying to find other things I can do . Have any ideas?

Super,
There is the lighting, do you have HID Fogs, add roof spoiler, paint calipers etc...... If you read my signature you'll see all the things I have done. I'm in the process of changing out to coil overs.
Good luck

1stlxs: Yeah, I already changed the fog lights out and I also changed the day time lights. I was thinking about a roof spoiler, too. Coilovers are pretty expensive, I figure if u spend over a 1500 on your suspensions, might as well spend spend about 3g's on air bags. What kind of coil overs are u gonna get? Are there any that provide a ride like the factory suspension? That was one of the main reasons why I purchased the nf210s (I read your thread on that bty.)
Sagikun: I paid over 800 to paint the kit. The color is super hard to match and I think the guy did a better job this time around. The lighting is unforgiving and in other pictures, the flop look likes it matches perfectly. All the painting was done by a computer so all the kits match in color.

i hate those wheels from asanti, but damn it flows with your car very very very well =]

i think roof spoiler should be your next mod
