Hi Brian...the headlight is still in process. It's finding the time to work on it is the problem and not to mention the tight space in the housing. Nothing new for the LS this year unless you can source me a supercharger for a affordable price.

New Year, New mods.

Not sure how much more I want to do to this car (since I can't get myself to do the '14 front end conversion), but I stumbled upon a couple items I ended up purchasing from YAJ to start this new year off:

21" Aimgain GVS off the Aimgain TAS Demo Car:



Fitment is 21x10.5 -12 (fronts) and 21x10.5 -28 (rears). Since the wheels are off the Aimgain Demo Car with the over fenders I'm guessing this fitment will be pretty close to where I want to rebarrel my BBS LM-Rs to. Until then, I'll likely refinish these bootleg OZ Futuras with some color to have some fun for the time being.

Oh, and I also bought an HKS GT Supercharger to attempt the first install here in the US.

Wheels just arrived from Japan last week - so I'm still deciding what color to powder coat them or if I'll just slap them on the car as-is. Still awaiting delivery on the HKS kit.
