Default Lunchtime shots... a bit of progress

iPhone 4S & Camera+ ...nothing too serious.
Just got the wheels/tires this morning.

-F-Sport sways
-ISF wheels (real)
-Continental DW in ISF standard sizes (which are perfect diameters for AWD)
-Suspension plans... building my own setup, stay tuned




Thanks for checking it out!

Nice ISF wheels! I was thinking about putting those on mine too, but they're so expensive lol.

Looks nice!

Is your car a GS300 (AWD?) or 430? Any spacers needed?

Thanks!

GS300 AWD

No spacers needed. As I understand it, the GS350 needs a 5mm spacer to clear the bigger brakes. Can't comment on the GS430, don't know.

The fitment is an OE fitment, so the offset is not aggressive. When it is lowered, it could probably use spacers to flush it up a bit for the aftermarket look.

Getting there. The 3GS is such a dark horse of a car. It really has some striking lines. It creeps up on you. Before you know it, you're hooked.
