Post Body Kit Finally Installed...

Finally! Finally! i get my L-Sportline body kit installed tomorrow!!!!! I can't wait. I've been waiting to get this on now for about 2 months! It's been in my garage for around a month and a half, and in the paint shop for 2 weeks! Will get pics asap. Also, this will be my first time posting any pics of my car, ever, so i hope they turn out ok!

Also, looking to buy a nice rim, with a lip, not a full faced rim like i have now. '99 GS400. Something like BlueLex has or maybe the Lowenhart LD1 (possibly a knockoff). Any suggestions to help set off the body kit? I prefer chrome. Any ideas and pics would help guys/gals. Thanks!

John

How about some Koatik Z5. They look classy like Bluelex Gettins and about 1/4 of the price. Look under Alexusofatimes post or Djdelite has some Zenetti they just both bought a set. heres a pic the Koatiks.

Congrats man, I know the feeling, I am having this same exact feeling right now .

As for rims, what kind of budget do you have? You can always browse around the classifieds here for some good deals.

I love those Gettins but they aren't available anymore in 18s and I want to stay at 18". They are also a bit pricey. I'm getting the Kaotik Z5 and was going to save it and show the car after all my mods were done in a month or two.

If you need any help finding them, pm me. I know a few places carrying them. TIf your interested in 19's, look in the classifieds and there is a set for about $1800 another member is sellign them, and they are Bee-YOU-TEE-FUL!!!

Well, I don't have the funds to purchase a nice set of HRE or Lowenharts. BUT...if you'd like to donate a set to me, I'll be happy to throw them on the baby and drive on them.
