Default Modified stock body 2GS Pic request

OK folks , so I did a half *** search and came up with nothing. Basicly what Im looking for are pics of modified 2GS with NO BODYKITS. Im building my car and dont plan on running a bodykit, so I am trying to get ideas of what others have done and how far you can take the stock body and what wheels look good ect.

So what do I mean by modified?? I mean you must be lowered on something,,,, springs, coil-overs, airbags, or just a car full of fat chicks crushing the life out of your stock suspension.

And,,,,,,

You must have some kind of non-stock wheels, 1 piece, 2 piece, 3 piece, peace in the middle east or even some cheap-O stuff.
Thats the bare minimum, after that anything goes.
But,,,,,,,

Please no front lips, lip kits or bodykits.

So GET BUSY! Ill go first

Car looks real good man, but without adding a lip, you're basically limited to being slammed with nice wheels, shiney exhaust tips and possibly a small spoiler (OEM style of course).

But IMO this is how these cars should be left, they are already great looking. I think adding a front lip, lowering and a nice set of wheels mostly doesn't or for me. Then again I've spent more under the hood than I ever will on the body.. :eek:

btw most gs's (other than cinnabar and SBM) without a bodykit or a lip kit on them,just kind of look if you start modifying it and dont add that

I think you have mistaken my wheels for scaras before.LOL They are racing hart's. My trunk bar is just painted black.

Puff the stance on your car looks great thanks for the pic. Wheel size?

Luxury what size wheels are in this pic 20s? Thanks for the pic and good luck with your build.

Im beginning to think the NON-tucking wheels look better on stock body and also a slight rake looks good. I think the (2nd) silver car that yakuza posted is just about perfect stance wise. Maybe with the back raised just a little. And then the (4th) white one looks a little goofy and unbalanced. Anybody running crazy camber on stock body? Im curious to see what that would look like. It looks like that silver car has some but its hard to tell how much from the angle of the pic.

I saw that one in Seattle about a year ago. That GS is rolling hard on 18's. I love the stance on that car.

I was going to guess 18s. Wow, I might have to reconsider my next wheel specs after seeing this. Reminds me of the PhillyGS car minus TTE lip. I wonder if 18s only look good on silver cars
