I like the color, is there a pearl or flakes in the paint. car looks clean, nice body kit and grille I might want to go with the same set up. Yea wheels look a lil off, I was in the same situation with my old wheels when I first got my car painted, lots of changes since then.

Sweet ride, paint looks super wet. I was wondering if any of the pics I found would be clublexus members.

A few of them are. I saw you had several shades of Paul Tolson's car on there. His is the Candy Green GS.

I'm not a huge fan of two tone, but the execution of yours is spot-on.

The two tone doesnt look bad. Executed well. The green looks good also with the rood and wheels. Unique.

I did nothing to the fenders when I had the H&R springs it did not rub at all, but with the air ride it will rub when it is real low.

I am not an offset experts so I don't know the 10.5 in the rear is going to require some work even with the right offset. You are going to have to make a good choice on tires and stretch them to cut down on the rubbing. There are much more qualified people then me on this board that could answer your question better.

Roll the fronts and shave the rear and you should be fine.

As for the OP... You said it was post YOUR custom car color. You posted a lot yourself.

Why not let the owners of the cars post their own colors? That way when people have questions they can be answered. I saw you had Marks Blue GS and he chimed in himself, but you also had Joe's (MrExecutive) Root Beer Brown GS in there too, but it's not Root Beer Brown anymore.

IMO don't start a thread and ask people to post their custom car color and then post them all yourself within an hour. Kind of defeats the thread and then people won't be educated by it because you're not the original owner and nobody knows the true color of the car etc.
