Default "Newbie" Here is my car

Greetings, I have been on this site for about a year but never really posted anything. This site is very informative and I enjoy reading the posts. So I just wanted to introduce myself. Here is a pic of my car. I just started modding my car. I have a Win kit and RMM exhaust in the house just need money to put them on.

Looks like a good start with the wheels. Can't wait to see everything else.

Great looking GS. Are those 18" or 19" rims? Size of the tires? Look nice with the stock springs.

Emrald-

The RMM exhaust you can do yourself with the proper tools in probably a half hour to 45 minutes. The most difficult thing is stretching the rubber muffler hangers. With the right type of hand clamps it's not very difficult tho-

Good luck, she looks tight-

They look like Lowenhart LD1's but the pic is from kind of far back so I could be wrong.

They the Lowenhart LD-1 style wheels but whether they are really LD-! is what I am after.

I can't afford real LD-1s and the point og my question is to find out of they are replicas of the Ld-!s b/c they look damn good and if they are indeed replicas, they I would want to get'em.

Welcome to the club and great looking GS have there bud... Now after you put the kit and Exhaust on, post the before and after shots.. Also, I don't know if you know this or not but the rear bumper has 2 huge openings for the exhaust tips, and the RMM exhaust tips aren't that large... So here's some advice, you might want to consider bringing your mufflers to a shop and have them put double tips to replace the ones that already on there.. IMO it'll look much nicer if the whole opening in the rear is used.. Having that done isn't a problem and can be done within a hour... Also it'll look killer with a quad exhaust in the rear...
