^^ thanks TJW98LS!! I was so excited, it was hurrying like hell to get some pics, before the sun went down. Damn near froze my hands off, but it is always worth the pain.

As far as a drop goes: I am doing Tanabes with either KYB or Tokicos? I do not know which ones are better for the car. any help in that area would be great!!

^^ The very first VIPSTYLE mag that I got. Had a pic of a 2gLS with the LD1's on the cover of it, that was the exact moment that I wanted an black LS with the LD1's. So I do not think they are that they are DUB style, unlike some of the other rims that I have seen. The one other rims I would want are some called LOCK SMICE or SMIT, I haven't seem them for a while.

Your LS is looking really nice with the mods you've finished bro. The lights and black emblems really make a difference. I grew tired of my gold emblems and quickly blacked them out as well - it just looks better IMO

Clean ride man. I saw you post in my for sale thread. 19's are a nice choice! LD1's are hot too.

I got the blue that's been sitting forever! haha...maybe i'll finish it one day....maybe.
