Great job, looks great!
I think you just helped me decide on what suspension I'm going to get.

100% OEM. The shop that did it does all the Lamborghini's and exotics in Vegas so it came out phenomenal. Pretty crazy Lexus made this color on a luxury sedan in the late 90's. Love this color

OEM Name/Paint Code: Spectra Blue Mica / 8m6

The color shifts dramatically with light. Under high noon direct Vegas sunlight or the super bright fluorescent shop lights, the blue is extremely bright and vibrant. However, in the shade or non-direct sunlight, the color transforms into a dark, deep blue. It almost looks black at night. Love it!

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd take a quick snapshot today of my car for all of you.

The Depo reviews were great but had a weak point. The outer/inner lights don't both come on while braking. There were a few threads on this to fix this issue. You basically tap the white/green wire from the inner bulb and connect the black wire from the outer bulb.

When you "tap" it, are you just using an extra wire and just connecting it from green/white to black? I'm a wiring noob and just got these Depos as well.

What's the specs on the rims & tires? That setup looks perfect.

Wheels and tires are on!

All the work done by a Lamborghini tech and BMW master tech. Only the best for the GS.

Sitting pretty after dialing in the suspension. [/QUOTE]

Just the existing wires it comes with. Think I just cut the black wire and connected it to the green/white one. There's a few threads on this and thats how I found out what to do.
