Looks good! I'm not a fan of 20s on our cars but your rock them just right! And without the badges for sure!

Thanks guys, mesh is from customcargrills.com, great guy to deal with. Responded to emails and found a better deal on what I needed on a Sunday when I was ordering pieces for the new bumper.

Few more pics from the other night.

Default Sick

Kyle,

Your ride is SICK!!! I have been looking for ideas for my 98 GS400 and you have taken me through an evolution of various ideas. Thank you for that.
I have to read this over and over again to wrap my head around what is possible for my ride.
I love the lights, I think I will start there. The VIP kit is cool, that might be second. Thanks again.

Dang man this thing is immaculate. Mind me asking where you picked up that rear table, or did I miss it somewhere in the thread? I recently got a VIP'dout front table and like it quite a bit. Now it's got me debating a rear one as well...

Thanks again guys, and thanks Derek!

Old wheels are gone, was a little hard to see them go after that long!

Rear console was home-made. You could contact vipdout about custom making something similar. I've seen A mention of them doing custom work.

I believe Nigel-jdmparts still carries side mirrors that are the same as mine, I bought from a forum member but I think that's where they came from, check with him.

Not much to update, driven the car twice in a month due to complications changing to the 3.92 gearing. Long story short, had to have the ring gear and pinion swapped into my carrier and the "mechanic" who did it didn't get the preload right. Was patient with him for 3 weeks to fix it but hasn't happened. Picked up a new crush sleeve and pulling the differential again myself and taking it to someone who'll actually get it done and do it right, frustrating as he!! but hopefully have it back on the road soon!

Since then I dropped the rear 1/2", the sideskirts sit even now. Might play around with the height and fitment a little more but I have a feeling too much lower will affect driveability more than I'd like. Also added wide angle, blue tinted side mirror glass with led turn arrows.
