Thanks! I didn't even bother washing it before this which is why most of them are night shots haha.

Anthony, wheels are 19x9.5 front, 19x11 rear. Previous owner re-lipped these, and I recently swapped the faces so I have no idea what the offset is now. I'm running a 15mm spacer on the front to clear the LS400 brakes.

Hey man, I did the pull but to be honest its far from good (notice how I only have clear pics of the fenders on the right side? Guess which side I learned on haha). I'm going to have them re-done but for now I only rub at full compression so it does the job. If you're curious I used a fender roller, heat gun, a bat, and more heat.

Love the wheels!
Thanks I love them too . I want matching anodized purple work bolts now.

loving the setup
Thanks! My name's Ryan too, and hey I own a GS as well ha.

Mmm yummy.

Yeah, I see a handful of really nice GS's when I go to lunch. Spearmint Plaza is like a GS meet sometimes.

Currently I'm running Megan EZ's. I have them at their stiffest setting with the spring pre-loaded as much as I could muscle. I'm actually going to be putting these up for sale soon, as I have a new set of coilovers on order. I'll be running a custom setup, 14k front, 10k rear, custom valved with a shorter rear body so I can slam her even more.

Thanks to everyone else for their kind comments, i'll update this thread with more pics as it progresses. I have some before shots too that I want to put up but I need to blur the license plate still.

Ryan
