Default Got New 20's-I Think I'm Done Modding Now

Hey everybody
Time for me to post up some pics of my LS now that I am finished modding (I think). Put on my new rims and painted the calipers this weekend. Washed it this morning and took some pics so here they are!

Mods- 20" Asanti Af146's wrapped with General Exclaim UHP 245/35/20, painted calipers, smoked LED tails, chrome headlight trim, 35% tint all around, interior/exterior LED's throughout (no pics)

















Thanks for looking and all comments welcome!

looks really nice and classy. if you ever start back up mod'ing again a slight drop might do you some good in the looks dept.

I actually have a CL. I thought about lowering it but I think I like it the way it is. I knew somebody would tell me to lower it lol. Thanks for the comments.

i used to hate when people would tell me to lower my last gs which happened every time i posted up a pic of it with my old 20's but after getting the drop on my ls its like your seeing the car through a different set of eyes. you can't even compare the 2 sets of eyes cuz the other doesn't even know what the other is like. and it goes both ways cuz i can't really remember what its like to see the car your way.

so for you right now you can't even envision (not being disrespectful) what i was picturing when i saw your ls so i shouldn't have even been that guy to say that. in due time, in due time.

looks like a sweet ride, i'm lovin the gansta lean' which is why we thought it was a UL i figure

Looks nice, but I would stick with the stock tails.

Lookin good!

I agree go stock or buy the non-smoked LED tails but if those tails make you happy keep em.

What do you think of the ride on 20's?

It doesn't ride much differently than my 18's. A tad bit noisier and the ride is slightly stiffer but not too different than before. No complaints.

Oh and sojah, that lean is just the driveway lol.

Clean but need a drop like other have mentioned. Cars without a drop looks incomplete to me, but that's just how I am

That looks sweet but around here it's not complete until it's dropped.

just remember w/ the data controller you can adjust your car to any height! any height! so if its too low...then you can raise it w/ a touch of a button....well worth it! Best mod on my car!
