My god! It's gorgeous :') lol I have an obsidian 4GS and we have a very similar idea of the look we want from our cars.

I may do a few things different. Like the rims I was thinking Zito Z50s or Vossens and my fogs are L-Shaped LED DRLs. Also I may not lower as much but this here is perfect man!

I did a lot of research on Tire Rack's site regarding tire choice.

I knew that I didn't want to degrade handling too much from the stock Bridgestone tires but I also knew that I didn't want to spend a lot on tires since there were no solutions available to deal with tire wear.

I also paid special attention to the width of the tire and the shoulder of the tire. My other choice was the Hankook V12 Evo which offers better rim protection but also is broader which meant I would need to roll my rear fenders.

In the end the dry and wet traction are excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lower cost maximum performance summer tire.

Good to know. I was very impressed with them on my IS. Look forward to seeing how they perform on my GS. Thx.

Terrific job on the car! Looks aggressive and still maintains class. I especially like the quad exhaust...looks racy.

I am not a fan of black vehicles whatsoever but you put that preference to sleep. Nice touch with all the upgrades

Gotta ask, why the strut brace and under brace? Aren't those things normally to help with heavy power outputs from the vehicle?

Couldn't imagine they would be necessary but I am kinda new to that ball park so if someone could possibly educate me?? Thanks!

Better chassis rigidity can benefit any car's handling at any horsepower level. It has no relation to horsepower.

Oh ok so it's not something your car has to have to handle heavy loads of horsepower. It just tightens things up for cleaner handling basically?
