Tein Coilovers in, and adjustments made. 4 wheel alignment done. Rather than tucking the rear slightly, I chose to have the @ss slightly higher than the front.. I like the look!Tanabe Hyper Medalion exhaust installed. What a beautiful tone! Changed the factory HID bulbs from 4300k to 8000k. Installed NEW clear fogs, with 8000k HIDs. Interior LED conversion done. New Hankook Ventus v4es sneakers on. At this point, I was still waiting on about half a dozen mods or so..

(About a month ago) I spent the entire weekend (in shifts) upgrading the audio/video system in the Lex. It was way too cold, even IN the garage, so I would work until I couldnt feel my feet, and break for a coupla hours! lol (many thanks to my boy Corey, who helped me on this project) The GS is now equipped with a Kenwood DNX7100 headunit (Tuner, CD, DVD, MP3, WMA, AAC, USB, iPod, Sirius, Navigation), Focal PolyKevlar Components in the front doors, Polk Audio dB401s in the back doors, door speakers powered by a RF Punch 4ch amp, (2) Orion 12" Subs powered by a RF Punch 2ch amp (bridged), Sirius Satellite Radio, wired for Sony Playstation in the glove (1, 2, or 3), and (2) Myron & Davis headrest TVs. I added a RF Digital Capacitor to help deliver the juice needed to run the system. I think Im going to upgrade the headrest TVs soon.. still working on 2 trim pieces inside the trunk, so not going to debut pics of the trunk area yet!
