Just MHO .
Just MHO .
1. the eyelids stay. Am going to put on bodykit as well but at this time, have put off exterior mods in order to focus on making sure the engine is right, because it needs some attention right now until I can swap for the 2JZ.
2. I agree monotone is probably the way to go, but this wont be done until sometime next year, after the engine is straight and I save the money for the paint job. Not to mention, I'm not sure if I'm gonna change the color or not. I'm gonna Invest in some good quality paint, probably from House of Kolors, and it aint gonna be cheap. However since I am on the road alot with my job, I really only get every other weekend to try to make things happen, or put into effect.
3. By no means did I ever boast that my car is VIP, I was stating that I took pics at my friends place of business, VIP Garage.
4. Coilovers-- probably will go that way, but weighing my options.. Roads not really too good here in MD to go low. Bodykits--have seen a few I am interested in, but really don't like a whole lot of what is there for the first gen. Just trying to see which one I will settle on. Yes, everyone screams WALD, and it lookd great, just not what I want.
Thanks everyone for their comments, and please recognize that my car is still along way from being finished and that it is going to be a work in progress for a long time. Unfortunately, my money dont flow like water, and in the favorite words of my friend Big Lexass-- I will just get what I like. LOL!!!!!!

I think the whole car looks sweet, especially for the age. I would keep the 2 tone, it looks great brings it out. The eyelids are cool. Everyone have thier personal preference. I guess some like it better than others. VIP garage shoot was very nice. Glad I was there to check out the rides and have some pics taken. Keep up the good work TRUKN1 behind you 100% Dawg. DUB style looks good when done right and I think those wheels look great on the ride.

What year is your LS?
My engine is getting the "ticking" valve noise and am not looking forward to the repair that is needed.

They only use one listing but it fits both . On the UCF 20/21 it will make the car sit slightly lower in the front but the rear is still able to have large height changes. I have my fronts cranked up all the way and it works good for me with a 255 tire and a 15mm H&R spacer from bottoming out and rubbing the fenders.
BTW trkn1 i wasn't trying to rag on your car as i do like it , just it did remind me of the eye makeup thing. Hope you know what i mean.

SK-last question for you:
did you purchase your SF-1's new or used? hows the wear on them? im asking because SF-1 shock replacements are ~$180 each and are extremely limited in supply.
Pagong-contact me pls re: your set of SF-1's, i have some q's regarding mileage, condition, price, etc...
