I don't really like chrome stuff.......but for my wheels, if there were diamond cut polish Rezax II, I would've bought those.

I'm with lexkost. Lip spoiler for trunk & roof. I also think you should reconsider the tint, your car would look great with legal tint all around & lightly smoked tail lights . By the way that bad boy is slamed.

ATSOU- the car looks even lower! How about a few more pics? Very nice ride. As far as future plans, I'm with Lexkhost - aero, lip spoiler, roof wing and exhaust. I think I would combine the WALD front and rear, with slightly more aggressive sideskirts (the WALD look almost identical to stock). I think with that super slam and your lighter body color, the WALD will be more impactful, than on the darker colors we usuallly see it on.

That L-SPORTLINE is kinda plain, but for that price, I dunno (very attractive)

ATSOU, Short of a body kit you could put on paint matched mud guards and a trunk lip spoiler. These two combinations make the LS look more sporty and the mud guards serve a real purpose. See the pics in this thread.

I've also added front chrome rings around my headlights and ended up really liking the look.

needs to be slammed a bit more for a true VIP look... However, it does look very nice. A bit of body styling would do wonders.

What are the specs on the wheels? I would really love to see your car with a wheel that has a bit more of a mono-block look. Also- it is my opinion that a VIP ride should be pusing the limits on wheel specs to the point that the tires need a bit of strech to fit under the fender.

To really make the car stand out as VIP *I* (notice I said I) would get a bit of a more agressive wheel width and offset all around, and strech some tires on it- then I would slam it. Feels free to come over to www.vipstylecars.com and check out the forum over there- there are quite a few fellas over there with nice VIP rides both state side and else where that could help you also!

I know its not very practicle- thats why you would also then need Air Runner susp!
