Thanks LexuSk8!! My wife has only driven the car twice and says that she doesn't DARE to parallel park either - and shes good at it!

 

Thanks for the info but are your wheels clearcoated or just high polished???

 

Hey Darius!!!

Looks great!!! I see you got the wheel locks...hehehe....you should look into the L-tuned shocks...they ride great..call steve at carson...I got mine from him!!!!!

Take care!
Danny

 

straight clean and simple. Quality rollers and a good drop...that's all a GS really needs IMO. Everything else (body kits, etc.) is just an added bonus.

If you're not hell-bent on matching the calipers to the car, it may be easier to just go black or maybe even silver just for the sake of convenience IMO.

Also, remember that your springs will give a little more over time and your drop will be a little more substantial as the car "settles".

Nice work! Now go pimp that sh_t!!!

I meant to say the same thing! Those Espelirs give a really nice drop.

Hey Eric, Thanks for the compliments!! I agree. I've always like the GS body from the factory. I think a low wing like the WIN or Junction produce would be nice, to add sportiness but I like it clean and simple.

Regarding the calipers, silver would look pretty good with the polished rims and Zinc coated calipers - thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, are the LTuned shocks less than $400.00?

D2, Eric
How long does it take for the springs to settle? Will that affect my alignment?

Johnee:
I completely missed the second part of your question

They are Hi-Polished. In the photos, they haven't been polished since they were put oin the car. The can actually get a little shinier, like the first image where I measured the lip. Your lips actually looks bigger than mine, what size are you running on the rear? Are yours clearcoated?

 

Most definitely.

 

Mine are 10" in the rear but my seem to look bigger because I have no rivets and also I'm running a 255/35/20 on th rim and that also makes the wheel and lip look bigger IMO...I am asking about the clearcoat because mine are clearcoated, but I am having an issue with the clear and I am planning on stripping the wheel and I wanted to see how it would look and of course the maintanence..I was told that having a polished wheel that isn't clearcoated is harder to keep clean but from your pics it's much more rewarding in regards to the overall finish..Have your wheels been hard to maintain or is the wenol doing magic for you??

 

Yea, the WENOL is amazing but.......I washed my car at a touchless car wash a few weeks ago and it was hell trying to get whatever they use to clean the car off of the wheels. I still have a film of that stuff on the inner wheel. I'll have it polished out for EOS of course but its a pain. Now I just wash it myself. The only problem is that it will be cold here soon and I don't plan on catching Pnumonia for Bling . The great part about WENOL is it seems to remove any and everything that could ever find its way onto the rim!!!!

What problems are you having with the clear? Your rims look pretty blingy here:

 

thanks for the reply..The clearcoat is peeling from the lips and it's moving to the center of the wheel.I am going to let it peel on it's own and then get them stripped and polished..I just don't want to worry about the wheels staining or having an issue with the maintanence.. Thanks again..

 

Very nice Darius!!!

Did you do a similar write up on your audio setup? I missed it if you did and would like to see it.........

 

I've noticed

Hi Hameed! Thank you! I did a write up on the process of creating baffles for door speakers but I've been holding off for the final until I finish the trunk. As soon as its done, I'll post and send you a PM

Thanks Again!

 

Nice rims Darius. I think my friend and I saw you at Exact on 9/13. I was driving the black GS next to yours and my friend was in a black TL.

Those are the exact rims that he wants for his TL. Good choice.
