Cool Wald + Ltuned = a good combo

Thanks to Steve Ganz for making this happen. Without him, i wouldn't have anyone to bother about parts. He went the extra mile behind the scenes to accomodate some things for me.

Thanks also to GS400_Pusher; when i saw his kit, i knew what kit i wanted to get.

My main goals were to get a kit that was clean and not flashy. I didn't need to attract any attention with a wild kit, i wanted something to add to the car that was not overpowering. I did order the full Wald Executive kit, but went with the ltuned sides because they were more noticeable. I also ordered new front and rear bumpers, so i basically have a new car, all i need is a new hood and the car will be like new. If i had a silver car, the wald skirts would have been installed. If someone is interested in the wald skirts, i still have them for sale.

Sorry about the bad quality of the pics. And i did wash the car, but it rained the next day. I was going to wait till i got my BBK, but what the hell.

Here goes........................

The mods.

Suspension= Tom's everything except for RMM front STB. Rotora 4 wheel kit already ordered,still waiting for it to come in.
Wheels and tires= Volk LE-37T's , thinking about buying a set of mercury silver TE-37's though.
Exterior= Wald exec. front and rear w/ltuned sides. Toms's VA300 grill.
Interior=I like how it is now, so no future mods.
Engine=A little something.

So i am 95% done with the car, only thing is the engine.

Any little thing i'm missing? I'll take suggestions, because i'm bored since i'm basically done. Contemplating adding a wing or something.

Looks good. Yah...the L-tuned side skirts stand out more. What does the Wald side skirts look like? My ride is Silver.

Suggestion....next mod could be:

- Tints
- TTE trunk spoiler,
- Roof spoiler (Lsportline, DSR, UGO)
- Big brakes/rotors
