a few more pics,




on a completely different note i came across this D.A.D Garson swarovski crystal SL Benz in a shopping mall type thing in osaka japan 2 weeks ago. i know its not new by any means but just thought i would share:











and there you have it.

my next mods are the v-led drl's plus matching fogs and the asus data systems controller in order to lower the whole car a few inches. so stay tuned.

Car looks clean, but that V8 emblem is so tacky and out of place.

BTW I've seen the Garson SL in person and in pictures at many shows around the world. Do they have more than one? Or do they move it everywhere?

i would think they have more than one of those benzes. i was hoping that i was the only one that thought the emblems were a little crooked but i guess not. i have seen a few of these cars with the v8 emblems on and they always looked so good to me, i thought i would do it myself. how did i go wrong i wonder???

since clean is what i am going for and tacky is just about the opposite i guess i will think about removing it. i wonder what the consensus is about this, let me know what you guys think??

i was going for something like this, which i thought was a pretty kick **** car, but mine doesn't seem to pull it off in the same way. thanks for the props on the clean car other than that though.

Ls430r rocks the v8 emblem. and the pic was his inspiration as well... it could work as long as you were rocking some wald stuff like the pic. you know what I mean? regardless; you got a nice, clean LS there. When are you gonna get some wheels and slam that baby to the floor?

not sure about the wheels, my wife is talking baby stuff when i'm talking wheels n body kit stuff. i sold my 20" chrome lowenharts right before i sold my gs400 a couple months back. but the car should be slammed here in a week or 3. thanks for the praises though, and maybe just maybe i will be rocking some wald stuff in the future.

i was hoping to get them in order of cheapest to most expensive and well the emblems came first...

i found a nice kit for 1500 (brand new) out of a japanese vip mag so hopefully with paint it won't be to much more than 2k but i didn't think about shipping, damn....
