Great start. The newer factory wheels gives the car a fresh look. Can't wait till you have new wheels installed. Not feeling the blue-ish HID though. Not a hater but just not my thang

If you decide to get rid of your Current Tails and 18" LS430 wheels when you replace them with the other parts, please let me know.

It looks great, just the height I want.

Which Tanabe springs? The NF210?

The fabolous you bought... were they just the END corner lights? I see a set for sale that just replace the ends because the centers are already clear. Is that what you bought?

TJW98LS,
the Fabolous lights yes they are only the two corners but i do think its better you get the LED TAILLIGHTS instead of the Fabolous. people always said my signals looked pinkish till i popped the LEDs..

GS3tek,
its a Flag...
it was labor day weekend , u know i had to rep for my background and i didnt want to put a flag on my hood

DanozLS430,
still feels like stock!
they dont ride bad at all, everytime i take someone in my car they say it feels like im riding in a airplane love the ride my quote to them is " you know its dropped it right"! they say i cant even tell ... so i really hope i dont loose the ride once i put the rimz on....
