Progress on my my 01 GS430 - Updated 05/14/10

Hey guys, well first of all excuse me for these new pics becuase I have fallen prey to the very poor quality mobile pics (blackberry)... I took 4 really quick shots of what is going on with the car. I told the guy to take his time with it (he had it for two weeks so far). He is doing a pretty good job so far especially molding on my back pfb bumper kit to my original bumper (trial and error, let's see how it works)... So take a look... Gotta get some more shots, over the weekend!

P.S. I am sure some of you know the wheels already, but to those that would like to know they are the Axis mod7:

20x9 2.5" Lip (front) / 20x10 4.0" Lip (rear)
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Wheel Offset: 25MM 35MM F / 25MM 40MM R
Wheel Finish: Silver/Black
Tire Sizes: 245/35/20 (Front)
275/30/20 (Rear)

I noticed you took off the sunroof deflector? Do you still have it? I'd like to buy it if so! BTW, the GS looks so nice. I'm planning on doing the same upgrades as you. Love the lights (front & back!)

Ouch man. Did you hit your head to cause that windshield to crack? Glad you're OK.

Yo Rich those wrecked pics looks very similar to how my previous silver 2GS looked like however my airbags didn't deploy. I only had a few scratches but yeah this car is a tank.
