It looks dropped too! Hopefull we can get some more info.

Usually I am not a fan of oversize wheels as this is extreme but it doesn't look to bad.
does anyone have any information on the type of wheels on this car?
really like the setup. any help will be appreciated. thanks

*offset

maying856 that looks bad asssssss! Nice job!
I want that same grille and have for a long time. My GS 430 is 3 1/2 years old now and I have tried to keep the stock look for as long as posible but after seeing the Persian Blue on your Carson setup I think I am ready. I'll start with the grille and eyelids but havent decided on a kit yet. We do have the same LED bulbs though.

The Sustec Pro-5 are just fine but I had to set mines at soft to enjoy the ride. I first had it set at medium but the ride was too stiff for me. Had my sister in the back seat driving in downtown Atlanta set at medium and she said I ruin the Lexus experience for her. That's why I have mines set at soft now. I really would like to go lower but its just not practical.

Did a search for HID LED DRL's on this Forum and search return "Not Found".

Could someone assist me in my MOD of a HID Kit for my DRL's (2006 AWD GS300). I want to replace both bulbs inside each the DRL's (4 bulbs in all). A direct match of my main headlights would be preferred.

I did find that for my fogs to replace them with a 4300K HID Kit.

I just did these and they match and look much better. I just have to replace the wedge bulbs now so they match the lights at night time! IMO got with 5k or 6k for the Fogs. I went with 5k and they look good. Need to get 5k bulbs to change out the OEM 4300k HID's.

So I got bored today and did a custom hard wire on the Escort. Pics didnt come out so good as the battery was dead on the camera and it was dark. The blue light is on to show the radar is powered and working, it flashes when radar is detected. The light is VERY bright so I have to figure out how to dim it some. At night its blinding Pretty cool


Radar:
Escort 9500ix

Blue LED light:



Mute Button

Radar up nice and High
