Wink Pre and post body shop and other pics

What's good yall. I've never really posted any pictures of the car since the repairs. It's going back to the body shop next week because I don't like how the RMM rear is gaped....(RMM fitment sucks). I through some spacers on the rear but will be going with a 10-12mm adapter soon. The front driver's side rubs so no way I'm putting a spacer there unless I swop the tires to 235 35 20. I'm taking baby steps right now but I'm like how the build is turning out. I was going to get rid of the the car and buy a third Gen GS 430 prior to the sept 08 crash. I'm glad I didn't. After modding it I like it again.....LOL




Thanks to V (spyder) for all of the support and knowledge....He is a real good dude. Thanks also to RMMG4 (B) for the many years of inspiration (years ago I uses to just browse CL and stare at his car for hours LOL). Also thanks to CarbonGS for doing it his way.....hats off yall fellas

Mods:

20" Privat Bremsen (staggered)

Molded TTE Lip,

RMM sides, rear, and wing

espeller springs

Bilstein SP shocks

Fog light HID's

(some) strut tower bar

Sport design headlights (soon will be for sale after my LS430 retro is done)

Sonar LED tails

Universal OBX cans with silencers (sounds really good) I'll take a picture with the silencer's out

Pioneer fold out screen (soon to be gone replace with an eclipse double din)


Eclipse 10 inch woofer and Amp


Prior to the crash....(some 18 year old kid who was drinking hit the car in the rear). It was a low speed crash which caused a bit of damage.



dirty and scared....LOL

Thanks bro....I believe they are standard (8 1/2 in the front 9 1/2 in the rear) tires are 245 35 20 front and 275 30 20 rear. Offset are very modest. I'll look it up and repost it....
