Default New mods = new pics

Just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with the GS, figured it's time for a new pic... First picture is before the new suspension, kinda 4x4. Looks better now though. Dropped on Espelir/KYB with TRD blue sways added too. Just installed 2 days ago, so it may settle some more. Enjoy!



lower...



Probably add some spacers soon to complete the look. Maybe a roof spoiler too

Hehe, yeah the camera changed my black onyx to blue onyx. It's just good old paint code 202 though.

The 1st photo was my attempt at doing an HDR photo with my camera. It's kinda rough but turned out neat lookin'.

Thanks for the comments guys. I know it's conservative by most standards, but that was pretty much the goal.

The sways are ridiculously fun, flat as a pancake in the twisties and really confidence-inspiring. Feels like a BMW I was worried the TRD blue sways might really stiffen up the ride, but espelirs + kyb + trd really didn't affect ride quality much at all. It was a much more noticeable difference when I went from the stock wheels to the 18".

Yeah, I just did the front of the slats, but left the sides painted. Looks real real good... surprised myself just how nice it turned out.
