If those are gold emblems on the car I'd get rid of them and replace with chrome if possible. The chrome and gold look is unfortunate at best.

Gold emblems gotta go. Lose the 22s and put any VIP 20" Modular wheels on them. Drop slightly and call it a day. No stick on body kit

Get rid of the wheels asap. Find the next set you want and 'then' order the body kit or vice versa depending on how you prioritize your parts selection.
Check the photo thread stickied at the top of this forum. That will definitely help.

yea - sorry to say but 22s are donk-mobile territory - not a good look on an elegant car like an LS430 -- better on a 79 Grand Prix
