Drop that thing and it will look killer . I wish I could get some wheels, Im rocking the steelies unfortunately, but Ive got some tint and a drop, the drop alone made it look WAY better, it drives better too, less bobing up and down when shifting

Ditch the side moldings and mudflaps, drop it, and it'll look killer.

negative, discount tire direct had a huge sale last week where you got 100 off every set of wheels and every set of tires so i saved 200 there and got free shipping. Picked up a set of Hankook Winter tires for 116 to my door.


that car is dropped, it's got a pro-kit on it, which is good enough for me as it is, next spring my might re-do the suspension. I want shocks/struts to complement the springs. It doesn't look like it in the pic but the tires do actually fit in the wheel well pretty well.

Ah so it is. I can kinda notice that now. My apologies. I guess im just used to the more aggressive drop from my Sportlines. Either way, looks good.

side moldings will stay but it'll lose the mudflaps and probably get an ss/sc front lip

yea, idk, i was kinda personally over the whole dark wheels with a bright lip style, a little overdone, but that's just me. It was so hard to find any solid gunmetal ones but i saw these and liked them a lot. They may get powder coated over the winter but IDK.

and if you would've read then you would have realized that i had been told probably 5 times that i needed a drop and i pointed out that the car WAS in fact dropped. Wasn't being a douche, just stating that it is dropped..

nice rims.. definitely liking the look of blue over bright silver. I think for a diff. car, or some ****.. wondering about some slim five spoke chromies would bring out the pop in that car with that paint. the silvers do it well, but chrome on that deep blue always looks soooo hawt.

either way, nice ride. just because it's an ls doesn't mean you can't have some nice stuff on it. keep that in mind.
