nice ride. i can't believe you left with 2nd place, you should have gotten 1st! there weren't that many gs at the sema show. one car that caught my attention was dj skribble's gs. i was dissappointed on how it had an MB theme going with the side mirror blinkers and MB grille, c'mon it's a LEXUS for cyring out loud! the interior mods were tasteful and thank god the louis vuitton trim didn't get past the trunk!

Looks like a Veilside hood with pics/flyers in the scoop.

Dude...he went for the Japan VIP-Style look....which entails some MB style accents....like the grill and side mirror blinkers. I must admit...his drop could be much lower, and he missing that huge negative camber to complete that look.

Hey....at least he didn't mount an MB emblem on there. LOL!!!

Oh...and lastly...that hood !!! I never thought I would live to see the day that a US GS owner would put that on their car.....looks similar to this....

Wow, thanks for the compliments guys. It was great meeting some cool CL members and talking shop.

As far as the wheels are concerned, they are indeed Symbolic Wheels (www.symbolicwheels.com) 20X8.5 and 20X9.5 triple chrome forged three piece wheels.

As many of you know, I have been waiting on these wheels for sometime and I got them just before the show b/c we had an agreement that I would rep them at SEMA. I am very happy with them, they look luxurious yet sporty at tghe same time. 2.5 " lip in front and little over 3" in the back. I wish rear lip was bigger but whatever. I went with 40 offset on both. that probably explains the the somewhat small rear lip. I could've gone 20X10 in rear but Hankook, which supplied me with tires, only makes 275/35/20 tires which is too big so I have 255/35/20 in the rear.

Off topic, I met the Hankook guys at the show and spent some time in their booth and all I can say is they are truly great guys and the produxct is top of the line. This is a company thats really on the move. Big things comin' boys.

As far as more pics are concerned, I took about 200+ pics with my friend's digital camera and he'll burn a disk for me and I 'll post a bunch of pics for you all. I took photos of everyhting at every angle and up close. You might even see my mug with some real hotties.

PS: I just signed a deal with Faze Gauges and they sent their model, Flo Jalin, over to the car for a couple of photos. I'll post those as well.

I'm travling in Chicago this week so thats why I have been a bit delayed in responding. Thanks a bunch fellas.

Peace,

Ted

FYI fellas, the girl in pic # 2 in the black outfit is also a member of the International All Stars from Atlanta and she is a real mover in the import scene. While you may not recognize her, you have all probaly seen her in a nationwide ad campaign with Polk Audio. At the time she had a blue honda civic and it showed her standing beside her car and a bunch of her friends with her. She is totally sponsored by Polk and has a bunch of other deals as well. She just got a new Honda and its already been on cover of a major Car Audio magazine. Also, she damn hot as well. A reaL FIRECRACKER.

I don't know Pete. Either I'm giving him too much credit or you too little but I think he has the full Veilside KI kit including the hood.
