Default My Platinum Edition GS w/ custom G35 wheels

I put my wheels on over the weekend and took some pics today....

I bought this car 2 1/2 months ago and have put over 6k miles on it.... So far I tinted the windows, upgraded the tails, and put the black chrome Rays G35 wheels on it.... I picked up a Toyota Black chrome grill from the classifieds and am waiting for it to arrive.

Im going to do a mild drop and add blinking side mirrors next. Then im going to do the audio/visual system.

Very nice, very clean. You need some 19's though and a serious drop. Great start though! Keep it going!

Also, I'll take some of that Urban Noodle... Whatever it is. Haha.

Really? They look pretty small. It's probably the wheel gap that's making the illusion. Sorry for my ignorance.

+1 on a drop, even if small. Makes a huge difference

The drop will make the steering better and a little stiffer sway bar to go with it (or upgrade the bushing for a few dollars). So it's not just for looks. You can go OEM shock with aftermarket springs if you don't want harsh ride (select the correct spring rate).

Yeah, +1. How much that car needs a drop is just hard to get past! It'll look hot, though!
