Thats the way you should start....drop (assuming you on some decent suspension), wheels, and better brakes.

good job

Looks great Jake, fat 19 setup FTW for the best combination of ride quality and looks.

They are AutoCouture Indicator Monoblock Wheels, silver face with polished lips. 19 x 8.5 ET37 Front, high disk wheel, 19x10.0 ET43 Rear

I have a different grill in mind.. stay tuned. J Spacers and shaving.. maybe. This is my daily so as much as I want to go ALL out, I have a moon like surface to drive on around here. Keep us in the loop on your GS too.. have not heard much about you TOMS>?

I hope you like it.. I feel they look better on the GS’s.. but I am partial J

Thanks again guys for all you help.. this is a great site as you all know. I look forward to making progress and bring this car to the next level on not only looks but performance.
