Ordering the Braga Type3 lights and some other lighting from Japan. I really like the big LEDs in the rear and havnt seen them on any GS really. For power I will be going 2JZ-GTE but I dont see this happening til maybe later in the year, then again who knows.

Here are some low quality pics with the wheels installed but no alignment. The height looks ok but not as low as I wanted. He felt safe nothing would rub at this height so Im going to have the alignment done to see how the camber is
