Default That is one Bold Batmobile Brother!

With the limo tint and the Black Onyx it is the first mod I've seen and very encouraging. This car does not deserve less than 18's but you showed us that you can just skip over the 19's. Any offset info? Clearance OK?

No problems. I will post the offset after I find out.

I was cleaning the garage and thought this lighting would be better until tomorrow.

As much as I applaud your initiative, I would have to make the same comment if any other gen GS did the same thing: it needs a drop. With the car being so new, I don't think you'll find lowering suspension soon. You'll be driving around with a mod half done, IMO.

I personally would not have jumped the gun. Still, as long as you like it (since it is your car ), I will give you the .

You don't think the suspension mods for the 2nd gen gs will work on the 3rd. Is the chasis that much different?

Default They're brand new and very different

That's why it handles so much differently then the Gen 2. The sways disappear under the engine pan. The new suspension members are pretty beefy and tall with the springs mounted at the top. Brand new multi link rear suspension too. This will probably take some experimentation and of course fabrication. Who are the players for this type of work besides TRD?

Thanks guys. I tried to lighten it up, but I thought it made the car look higher than it really is.

Check out new picture.

I'm not a "mod" kind of guy but that does look sharp.
