you come from a nissan crowd, if you don't have a blown up fender you're not doing it right.

BTW cheez i started my VIP existence with a y33 gloria in japan (that i went from extreme kouki to straight zenki on) with the VIP fat lip fitment slammed,, so I was just bustin your *****

the y33 was my favorite platform of all, followed up by the UCF30/31 (i currently push an 05 LS430UL upgraded to this after my 2 year stint in a 2gs modded as well) and I am presently trying to convince myself into the new 600hL but i guess i haven't seen the right wheel & offset combo on a 600 to make me jump vessels yet...

yes i saw and read that ^ ^ ^,, unfortunately i could not bring my heavily modded y33 nissan gloria back to the states with me and had to sell it for a fraction of what it was worth.. i took the wheels with me though since then i have always wanted to do a q45 stateside but never got around to it. i hope they one day re-release the Q and as long as its not butt ugly i would easily switch. i'm guessing you like the 600L so far except for the minor squeaks and creaks? i'm interested to hear how it rides with your new wheels when its slammed or lowered¿¿¿

it's a great car, just some small issues here and there. i don't think the quality is as good as the ucf30 though.

i'll keep you posted when i get the wheels on w.r.t. how it rides!

I assume you will be bringing the car with the new wheels down to AF on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

james, i'm gonna try. the wheels are being weird -- apparently the lug holes were drilled specifically for range rover lug nuts. i'm having a ***** of a time sourcing those without paying $380 so that might throw a wrench in the works.

i'm also concerned that the car won't be low enough. the 600hl (by virtue of having AWD) can't get as low as air-sus equipped 460's. so sad. we'll see :P

at the very least, i'll get to check out your car!
