Default Recent Rolling Shots

Well, my teammate CarbonGS from Team Elite and I, along with our budding photographer friend Bandy took a trip to Alabama from Atlanta for a car show this past weekend. Bandy graciously took some rolling shots along the way, sometimes hanging halfway out of CarbonGS's car at 70mph!!!! Here's a few of the shots he took:

Thanks for the comments PureDrifter. Coming from you, I'm honored, heheh. As far as fitment and drop, I'm on L-Sportline suspension and I like the rear drop, but I wish the front would have the same drop as the rear, then I'd be 100% happy. I don't like running stretched tires, but rather wide beefy tires, more appropriate for a big sedan like the LS. I think it gives it a muscular look. I'm running fat 285/30/20 in the rear, and had to roll the rear fenders to fit that.

i'm not real big into lowered cars and the like, but that is a very clean car.

Fifth pic down is sweet. I like that! I like the shiny chrome. Wonder what it would look like with some black or grey mags?

Thanks. The car is lowered but not slammed (but I may be doing air soon, heheh). I don't think black would go well with an elegant color like the gold. May be too sporty.

No, she's a 98, 2.5 gen LS or UCF21. Main cosmetic difference is the front fascia, where the headlights are separated from the grill by sheet metal. Makes a world of difference!!! Thanks for the comments, and glad I could inspire you. I've been inspired by others to buy an LS when I saw how nicely modded they could be.
