thanks for the comments guys...i'll have to measure the height of the bumper later on tonite. it's A LOT lower than my old l-sportline bumper. i got the whole kit (after waiting since february) and the sides and rear make a huge difference in ground clearance...not to mention how difficult it is to make it up and down my driveway now. as for matching the front bumper with anything else, i wouldn't personally recommend it. the way the kit flares out on the bottom would make it very difficult for the bumper to flow with anything else. as for the rotors, the zeal rotors only come in blue, that is why they don't match the red endless calipers. i'll post some other pics later on too...if mr. JunctionGS doesn't mind hosting a few more pics.

hey... i saw you on the freeway (san mateo bridge) last week i think. ne ways nice car

that probably was me if it was friday afternoon or saturday nite. i was either on the way to HID or on my way home.

as for the power #'s on the car...last dyno was about a yr and a half ago, but the numbers were 360.4 rwhp and 385.6 lb/ft. of torque, running on 6lbs.

the length of the front bumper is a hair over 13 inches from where the chrome molding goes to the bottom of the bumper. i think hangs about 2-3 inches lower than the old l-sportline bumper.

hope that answers a few questions...more pics will be on the way...i promise..

I don't think it is a TT. Single turbo on a GS430 unless that has changed too. I'm sure there may be others but I've only seen turbos on GS400s. Ryan's car is unique in this sense.

The car looks sweet Ryan. You know I wanted the kit at one point too. The measurement will help since I was very afraid of how low the car would be. I got 20s for this reason though so we'll have to see. I can't wait for a chance to see the kit in person.

UptownGS, unless Ryan was down in SoCal today, it probably was not him since he is from NorCal. I was at Carson Toyota today though. I should have stopped by Veilside to take a peek. I was in a hurry though.

Damn that is hot bro. That is a kit that you don't see everyday, although it is real real hot.
