Default Rexor20's 05 LS430 Build Thread

Hey guys,

I just picked up my second car after 10 years of owning an 05 WRX.

I bought it from a friend of mine so it was well on it's way to where I'm hoping to get it. 2005 LS430 UL with just over 100k miles.

Anyway, a few pics of the Subaru and some shots of the LS







Things I've done so far:
-Fiberglassed front lip and resprayed,
-Replaced interior, license, trunk, puddle lights with LEDs
-Sideskirts on order since the previous owner lost one at some point


Plans:
-Aftermarket air before the stock units fail
-New wheels as the ones on there aren't really my style


More to come....

20x9.5 up front and 20x10 in the back with +24 all around. They just barely tuck inside the fenders when I air it out.

Sideskirts are at paint and Aftermarket air is on the way. Should be ready for summer in the next week or so.

Just got around to taking some pictures with the air. I went with Airlift and am really pleased with the results.

There are no sideskirts on right now but I'll have to raise the rear for them to fit.

So we had a meet for one of my buddies b-days and a friend of mine got a few pics of my car. These are more nicely edited so I figured they were worth sharing.

If you use spring/shocks, is it possible to run same wheel spec as yours without rubbing fenders?

20x9.5 up front and 20x10 in the back with +24
