Default Lex Luga is about to become the total package!

Maybe some of you knew what i was refering to with the wrestling hahah...regardless

Detailed the exterior of the car, threw on the summer wheels, and would like to share with everyone.

New exterior mods for 2011: GS350 4 piston caliper painted brakes, JDM Visors, mcgard splinedrive lugnuts, LED parking and reverse lights

Mod on its way: BC racing coils 8k and 6k spring rates (softest rates recommended by LKApimp) (Will become the total package after this, this is very debatable, but lemme live! Probably will be done modding after this, for the most part...maybe LOL)

Will post more pix when I install the coils..

Shout out to everyone who helped me the past couple years, I still have so much to learn!

Thanks. Im planning to drop it more, how much depends on rubbing. I don't really wanna spend on body work. Does any one know how much it would cost to get the fenders shaved?

I went to NO LIMIT INC in Baltimore, they really have some good guys that work there that used and air saw to cut them down then I got under there with a metal grinder and smoothed them out and grinded them down further. Be sure who ever does it paints the bare metal good or else you may have rust issues down the road
