looks great. i had the rays version of those wheels on my LS for a while.
looks like you could use a 10 or 15mm spacer in the rear like puredrifter said and maybe a 5 up front just to get that extra aggressive look.

make sure to get ur car aligned since your toe will be way off and chew ur tires up, give it a week or two after you put the susp. in to let it settle a bit.

that's nice, IMO polished face with monotone (all pearl) would really clean out the ride.

u have the chrome face and dual two tone paint, it's just kinda too much for me.

Nice ride - classy setup - can't imagine what it is like going over a speed bump Mine is a little higher and I hit nearly everything. Looks great though

yep, ordered a 6mil for the and a 15mill for the rear, if it comes down to it ill pull the fenders to make the car fit the wheels lol

plans are...

-chrome grille
-custom 2.5in exhaust with some dope tips
-re spray the grey lower half with fresh paint "in person its pretty shabby"
-juntion produce hood ordement
-wood steering wheel an shift **** from a 3rd gen ls400
-eventually get differnt wheels
-eventually get bags
-maybe a body kit one day

so far ive changed out the the gold embelms for chrome, replaced my worn out center console for a fresher one, 5k hids an led corner bulbs, also had 20% tint that i ended up taking off already because of tickets. and obviously wheels/suspention
