Default LudeNsoL back from the dead GS400

So I have been around for a while now and on my 4th GS. I was happy how my car was looking and had no complaints. Then driving to work one day some lady decided she wanted to meet with my car and ran a Yield sign causing me to hit her it was def a sad day for me.

Before :


After:


So I waited for the winter to be over so I could get her fixed and picked myself up a rare ES300 5spd


In the mean time I stocked up on parts needed to fix.
I also decided I might as well go with a retro and do it a quad retro just because and added a demon eye in blue (whole retro courtesy of my boy that did a amazing job if interested)
I also wanted to shave the sidemarkers to give the front a cleaner look.
I had the fenders rolled and had my wheels painted since the salt ate them up from sitting all winter.
Also got window visors and had them paint matched
Ok on to pics





Then here she is all done! The wheels are different but I love it








I am working on some custom sidesteps for the sideskirts. I should be done by the weekend.

I want your fogs. Did you do them yourself?
Retro looks good too but as said above why does those high beams look so weird? Looks like they're pointing outwards compared to low beams.

What are the specs for those wheels/tires, if you don't mind me asking? You propably did something to your rear fenders to get them tuck like that?

Took a break from my junker this week, and got to see this car by chance at Clean Culture yesterday. What a beautiful GS! It was cool meeting you.
