Went to talk to the owner about the cost and what was needed to make it all happen and we agreed that the cost at this shop was more than anticipated? Decided to pulll the car and parts to the shop that did the work on my GS!(Hi-Tech Collision Auto Bodyshop)! Let's see if we can get it going?�� I did get a wheel/tire test fit in before leaving? Test fit with a 315/25/22!
What offset are your wheels? How did you get that tire to fit? I lowered the car and have some 20 offset trafficstars with a 295 25 22 Tire in the rear, and it's going to rub. I Have to trim the quarter panels. May have to stretch the tires.

All credit goes to Bob Hale-(SOCALSC4)-Here on CL, over at InDIVid Wheels. His work is unbelievable and great craftsmanship. He made it all happen and has all the specs to making it work. Although a 315/25/22 would work, I'll be running a Toyo 305/25/22, with removing the plastic trim piece and rolling the fenders. Stay Tuned!

Default Progress Update!








Work has has begun with the kit and fitment! Looking forward to the updates and seeing this all come to reality. Stay Tuned for more progress pics as the build progress. Was looking to get an overall repsray, but car really doesn't need it after careful consideration to save time and money. Parts going in will be a Wald Grille, with trim piece painted Black, (Mr. Executiv) Mode Parfume front bumper- with accents, Wald Version 1kit with Fenders and puddle lights, Upgraded LED tailights, Side mirror covers with blinkers, Roof Spoiler, a choice of two rear wings?, and rain guard visors. Stay Tuned!

Default Wheels Are Ready for Mounting!

Got a call today from Ultimate Auto today to come pick up my wheels and tires. Wheels were mounted with Toyo Proxes(255/30/22(f) and 305/25/22 (r)!������ Just a little something to hopefully land a sponsorship down the road!

Default Slow Process before the Progress!


I had the pleasure of inheriting some old parts from an Old G, here on CL (Mr.Executiv-Johnel, after his conversion project was complete. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this front clip and a few other parts to add to my build. I really thought this was the best looking aftermarket 07-12 LS460L front bumper I had seen on any LS. I added the rear carbon trunk spoiler to the mix to go with the carbon front lip on the bumper. After careful consideration I have decided to eliminate the carbon pieces and paint over the carbon and make it all black.








Added this Wald front grille to compliment the Wald Version1 Body kit.



Progress is slow, but it's coming together according to plan. Here are a few more pics of the Wald side skirts, fenders, rear add-on lip(molded),trunk wing, and roof spoiler going on the car. The side mirror covers and grille will be added soon to the pics. There are more goodies coming, but wanted to give you an update on the process.
