LudeNsoL GS400 (Pic Heavy)
Hey everyone I've been super busy with school and working two jobs so I haven't had a chance to make a thread with progress but finally got a free minute so here goes some progress.
*Background*
This is my 4th and probably last GS. I always loved the GS and always wanted a SBM, So I when I saw the chance I jumped on it. I got it from a dealer about 2 hours from me and waited about 3 months to find the perfect one. One owner clean carfax all records and even factory installed lojack lol
I wanted to approach this build with a different style. I wanted to go with a more sportier look to go with the nice blue color. I wanted to keep it stock plus
Here she is all stock
New tails courtesy of ****-adkt
New Grill
Then I lowered it on BC xtreme drop coils with custom spring rates and added some 18" Moda wheels for temp
Then I put some different wheels on
Then test fitting new TTE rep lip
Custom Carbon Fiber trunk garnish
Then I did the dual fog light mod
Driving home from the club one night there was a random tire in the middle of the highway. It did the pleasure of taking my front lip and one side of my foglights with it. As well as mess up my front bumper.
Here is what was left of the lip

Then I said its time to repaint the whole front end since there was clear coat peeling and alot of rock chips. I ordered another set of lights and another front lip. Along with the front end paint I decided I wanted to keep the stock wing and repaint it since it had alot of scratches.
Here are some pics from the body shop
Rear Spoiler
All done!
Also got new exhaust tips
fresh out the shop! (tips not aligned yet)
Then it was time for new wheels
*Newest Pic from local car show*
I also took care of all maintenance
Timing belt with water pump
Valve cover gasket
New brakes/Rotors
K&N intake
Lower ball joints
tie rods
Front Sage RCA
Also did Pioneer Double Din
Pioneer amp with 2 12" Pioneer subs
Rear View Camera
Future Plans include LS400 Brakes and maybe roof spoiler and retros
Here is a video right after paint and still in winter mode (Friend Driving)
Not everyone will like it since its not "VIP"
