Default Wringo's Inspiration!!

I haven't posted pictures on CL in a while of the GS, so I decided to give CL an update of a few shots taken in the parking lot while the wifey was spending money! The GS was involved in a parking lot crash to the front left quarter panel and a few months ago, creating a little damage, but nothing major that couldn't be repaired. While the GS was being repaired, I decided to go ahead a replace all four brake pads and do a wheel change at the same time to allow me to fall in love with the GS again? Big thanks to (Bob) member SoCalSC4 for allowing me the opportunity to purchase his second set of wheels from the GS again! (Individ Wheels) Loving the new look! I was contemplating selling the car after the purchase of a LS460L (Executive Package), but the right offer has not come along? Enjoy the pic's and let me know what you think of the new look?

The wheels are Individ Wheels (Theory):20x9.5 2.5" lip, Falken 452's 255/30-20
20x11.5 4.0" lip, Falken 452's 305/25-20 Brushed face, chrome lips with polished windows and charcoal grey inner barrels!!

It's an L-Sportline rear bumper, who are now out of business!! A company called Sorona makes a knock off version of it and it looks pretty good!


Thanks for all the love. Just wanted to post some pictures of a car I think was done right with the help of some OG's back in the day, that took the time and showed me the right way to mod? You gotta pay to play!

Looks great with the new wheels, definitely one of the classic cars on this site and was an inspiration for me. Good to see it's still around and getting some love!
