Thumbs up Very V.I.P.

The body kit, rims, and grille are very V.I.P. Nice Celsior.

Thx for the comments guys
Actually I was not really persuing the VIP look but rather was doing my own thing. Now I need a set of coilovers asap but I can't seem to find a set that will do well.

Talking Looks Great!

The wheels are a nice fit for the body style. The exhaust tips and grill look very sharp as well. Very sharp ride overall! Did you finish the sound system yet? Love to see some pics of that too!

Actually I am going to powdercoat the grill black and maybe slap an "L" emblem on it. Feels like something is missing in the front.

As far as the audio system, it's never finished. I had it done, then took everything out and reinstalling. I will post pics of new interior soon too.

Isn't that the truth. My kickpanels are on their third incarnation, never getting totally finished, and I'm really thinking about starting over again and doing it a little differently. I'm hoping mine will get "done" over the winter when the car will be mostly parked and I won't be as busy with everything else.

What are you doing now, sticking with the IDMaxes? What about front stage?

Haha...kickpanels. What a pain. I am definetely staying with MAXES since I have not heard any SQL woofe that would be able to outperform them. IMO not many woofers can for that matter.
The frontstage is getting upgraded to horns and I will try out the Rainbow Platinum line just to play around. Who knows, I might switch back to speakers again.
The nearest car upgrades would be installing new leather (already have it), upgrading suspension to coilovers, and upgrading breaks. Right now I am about to install this new Clifford 2-way alarm with all the toys.

Nice, love the dish!

Audio wise I feel yeah!
I'm on my foruth custom install in my car and the thing about this fourth custom isntall is we can't decide what to do in the inside!
It has been 6 months and counting since it went into the shop for a overhaul!
God I miss it.

Tires are much better then I expected. At least they are not noisy. I haven't tried it for traction yet...i need new suspension first.
