Im really happy with how the wheels look on this as well. I think either a 5 spoke wheel or a full face wheel look best on these big bodies.

Posting up some more photos because i love this thing.

Next step for me is some subtle things, id really love to ditch the OEM deck and do the beat sonic set up.

Hey, the car is a knock-off from the Eseries MB, what do you think, eh?
When I brought the 01 LS430 home and arrived in the driveway my wife came out and said" did you buy a Mercedes?"

So as not to confuse people I let them guessing by removing all badges and emblems and got a new nameless grill

I see quite a few mods for the deck. They now have a very nice looking adapter for the ipad mini. check out AudioDesigns and Graphics

Really clean! Digging the color combo. I also have a set of RSR coils as well, I just haven't put them on yet. How do you like them? In terms of riding comfortability how do they feel compared to stock? Its sitting real low now, are you still just using the rsr coils? Really nice car man

Appreciate the kind words man. Im gonna be 100% honest, you absolutely do not appreciate how amazing the stock suspension in these cars are until you change them. The RSR's ride great for how low the car is, but as expected, still kind of like a school bus. I drive the car all year and i use it for ski trips where i have to drive it for 6 hours in a day. I do miss the feeling of the stock suspension, but as far as coil overs go, these are awesome and i would recommend them to anyone.
