Default Further odd mods.... opinions

Hi all,

I used to be a regular here on CL's 3rd Gen GS forum. So, pimping up the Lex hasn't really been my top priorities lately. But anyways, let the pictures do the talking.





Main modifications:

- 20" x 8.5" up front and 20" x 10" at the rear. 2 piece custom made rims from Taiwan. The rubber is 225/35/20 and 245/35/20 Federal EVO semi-slicks. BC Coilvers. K&N filter. Pivot throttle control.
- Lighting - Low beam HID ballast upgrade from the from local company. the wattage is 43 instead of the OEM 35 watt by Denso. 12,000k D4S bulb. Fogs are fitted with a 35 watt HID Ballast. 15,000k HB4 bulb. Daytime runnning lights from Germany. Super LEDs (red).
- 3M matte black sticker on the bonnet, hood and roof.

Enjoy,

Pana

uhh i guess ill the be the first..


not digging the two-tone theme whatsoever
the CTS-type side vent/grill thing has to go
a bit overkill on the lights on the bumper

but of course - end of the day its your car.....this is all of course, if u wanted our opinion

im with gslex. imo your ricing out a car that should be luxurious. it has over 300h.p so its not really rice, but still what it seems from the pics. but like gslex said. its your car. its your choices. you can do whatever you want. and again. this is just my opinion.
i think if you get rid of new center fogs,get rid of fender things,and if you "really like the racing stripe". i think it should go down the center of the car to match up with the bumper. other than that,drop and rims look good.

i don't mind the black stripes along the side of the hood, it's definitely different and very sporty looking. not feeling it for the blacked out front grill and bumper. you got hid fogs, so you don't need the daytime running lights at the front center bumper. i would only do the daytime running lights if it is somehow integrated into a housing to make it look oem. wheels are alrite, but side fender mod...not feeling it unless you do a true side fender mod like artisan spirits.

Wheels, lights fitment look good. The black roof is good. You lost me on the hood and paint up front. Please drop the tack on vent.

I've seen far worse. Just clean that up a lil and it would be a hit!
