i like the rims. I was tempted to buy them but i didn't wanna settle for knock offs. They do look great on your car though!

OutCaster, how are you, seen that you sold all the F-Sport parts, must be getting something better and I’m still in Kuwait until the summer.

Yeah, that's me. I work on base and usually use the Santa Fe gate but every now and then use the Clear Creek one. Stop me at anytime.

Since the pictures I have tinted the windows, plasti dip the emblems, added F-Sport front grill (e-bay) and rear GFX lip.

I'm looking for a replacement to the HKS not because is big or for the noise but need an exhaust with a little longer tips to make it flush with the GFX lip. I'm getting the bronze color smoke stains on the lip since the exhaust tips are too far in.

As for lowering, the car actually is lower than the pictures shows but not slammed. I like it this way, tires are very expensive to change every year, lol.

I will post updated pictures soon.

Ill be stopping you when i get back. im in afghanistan right now and wont be home until may-june. I drive a 93 white SC300 with an Auto couture kit, mesh wheels, supra brakes, 5% tint and a mean system haha. My wife is picking up an 04 LS430 UL on the 18th. Got some 20" Trafficstars coming in asap, some exhaust and an air system controller in the near future before i return on r&r in feb. hopefully we can shoot some pics. My LS should be done by then.
