So on the Tein CS if I go all the way down, will I still have the 4X4 look? If so, its not worth spending money

(of course my personal gallery is down right now... so I can't post the link I was going to... but the new owner has some pics in this thread when he put on some new wheels after purchase)
Hey Dave
Long time no chat! Thanks buddy. Great idea on your car. How much was the monotone job if you don't mind me asking?

New owner car looks great.

Ryan, I know you were on the hunt for some pics of gold LSs done up nicely. So I went through my personal "library" and found some choice ones. Also had some ol pics of Dave's car too:
