D2-AUTOSPORT CELSIOR (2000) - WALD / iFORGED / L-SPORTLINE / etc
Hey Guys, sorry about those crappy night time pics, here are a few decent shots of our 2000 LS400 (FYI, D2-AUTOSPORT 1pc specialst and CL MEMBER - STEFWILLI owns this vehicle)
I personally have always liked the 98-2000 LS and think its a handsome 3box design, this car simply has a new level of class and aggression. Stefan really shocked me with the BMW M3 Carbon Black repaint idea, and he shocked me even more when it was time to put the car in the body shop and the paint was ordered!! lol. Its really a dark dark blue, but in most light it looks black. The shaved trunk, and color matched grille, along with the shaved bumper markers really smoothen things out, IMO.
The wheels are another new addition, with a twist since they are flush fitment and have a large lip (most Celsior owners get hosed on that front lip size or are forced to run spacers). We got the specs on these wheels within about 1mm of the caliper (with brand new brake pads to ensure compatibility), with a 3" front lip and no rubbing . Oh yeah no fender mods whatsoever (didnt even take the little black strips off!)
I have nothing against the SPORTSLINE WALD, but I have a personal weakness for the EXECUTIVE Line, it is just so clean and classy, people stare at the car and keep asking "what else did you do???" because they cant figure out whats so nice! Of course the signature D2-AUTOSPORT tinted windshield is in place as well
I wish I could take credit for more than the wheels, but I can't Stefan conceptualized this project and saw it through, all I did was process P/O's and measure wheelwell clearances! lol.
Once again the car has :
WALD EXECUTIVE Aero kit
BMW CARBON BLACK Paint
CORNER LAMP DELETE
COLOR MATHCED GRILL
SHAVED TRUNK EMBLEMS (except "L")
20" iFORGED TRIAL (3" front lip WITH BBK CLEARANCE, 4" rear lip)
L-SPORTLINE SUSPENSION
20% on all windows (35% tint on entire windshield)
CUSTOM EXHAUST
ROLLING SHOT
CLOSEUP OF CALIPER CLEARANCE

Damn look at little D stepping up in the ranks. Job well done sir. Car looks sick, love the paint, looks so much better than the 2 tone. You got yourself a winner bro.

I like everything on the car except the exhaust. I think it's because there isn't a rear valance or something to help hide it. When I see those large mufflers and outlets it just screams "RICE!"

Hey thanks everyone for the kind comments, this car was a project that I had built in my head for the last year, lol. The wald kit is very clean, and with the added touches I did I think it just looks real smooth.
As for the exhaust, believe me they really don't look that big in person, along with the large car and the the rear wald lip they flow. I also added some I.C.E to complete the package, like TV's, DVD, Subs, color matched amp, ect......
This is car is one of the 2006 promotional D2-Autosport vehicles which means that all of you who attened car shows along the Northeast can view it along with D2 others this season.
