Default Ultm8mind's AimGain LS430 UL Build *Super Star Customs Content Inside*

What's up everyone? I think I may finally have something worth posting! Well, I have owned my LS for over three years, which spanned over a deployment to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. I purchased the LS because I had dreams of going VIP, which I quickly realized costs more than I thought. On an Army budget with three kids, kind of tough, haha. So, I bought my rims and a DataSystems Controller and realized the rims were too wide after test fitting them and the DataSystems Controller lowering at 55mph...ouch.

So, I took the rims off and they sat for almost two years. After this deployment which I finished in December my wife let me buy a bodykit, Waijai was selling an AimGain kit which I really wanted and I finally talked my wife into it. So, I got the kit, then returned home from Afghanistan and my LS is an Ultra Luxury and the air decided to go on me, needed a sensor and pretty much all the shocks.

So, I was in contact with AirLift, who I truly wanted to do business with and they offered me a partial sponsorship, but they never came through it was always one thing or another. Pretty sad, they finally just stopped answering my calls and emails after we had discussed a price and everything it was always, this or that is "out of stock" or "back ordered." I knew I wanted the AirLift though and hopefully I do not kick myself in the *** for going with them after their sub-standard at best customer relations and support.

So, I was at school and need the air to get this car done. I had already dropped the car off to Super Star Customs in Atlanta, Ga. I had heard plenty about them and I knew Bucky was the guy I needed to get my car done and done quality and quickly. Dropped off the car to him, with the kit hanging out the window, haha. I also had the air setup sent directly to him so he could install it also. I still want to go lower but I have to get new camber bolts in the front, they're currently "stuck," which kinda sucks.

Well, without further adieux onto the pics (crappy but you get the idea)...Enjoy!

When I test fit the rims:


Christmas gift from the wife




Finished product thanks to Bucky at Super Star Customs

Thanks all, bodykits are becoming easier to get the more VIP is being brought into the states. It was a pain in the *** prior, lol. Had a buddy buy me a Wald Executive kit and I am not sure what happened to it yet, but he says it's in his storage, we'll see though. So, I'll have that for sale soon probably.
