Default New LS Owner Here

Hey guys im not new to the forum but i am new to the LS platform. My other car is a Soarer thats currently down getting a total makeover.



I just bought this 91 Celsior from my homie Jimmy. Its a Junction Produce Premiums widebody car. Its currently rocking BMW wheels in epic sunlen battleship fitment since all 4 of the Kranze have leaking valvestems.



Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, I'll do a real shoot after the car gets painted and some proper fitment.

So Its been awhile since i have done anything with the car.I recently got some custom spacers to get the wheels fitting better. Yesterday i put some 6 1/2 Focal speakers in the rear and today i added some roll center adjusters to the front to get it down a little more. Here is how it was sitting before




And now with the RCA's up front




Good times.

I don't drive around time like that. That's with the bags all the way down.

Damn, sick pick up. I would drive that low just for the hell of it. Scraping used to hurt everytime I heard it. Now its sounds like a part of me when I scrape that asphalt.

I'm totally digging the JP whale tail. Im actually debating between that one or go full wald with theirs.

I just don't wanna kill the kit to much, it's kinda expensive. And driving it with that little air in the bags at speed it's so bouncy its almost dangerous lol.

Haha for sure man. VIP kits aren't like those simple lips that go for like $250. My kit is like 3-4k and I'm pretty sure JP is prolly equal if not more. However, I think I saw that kit in the classifieds for sale. Ill see if I can find it.

This is the Premiums wide body kit. I believe it's listed for 7k on the jp website.

That's a really crazy kit. How much does it make your car wider by? Cause I'm digging that really aggressive look.

EDIT: I just checked out the L-Tuned site. Jesus that is a crazy *** kit!

Thanks man. I'm not 100% sure on the width. I think it's 50mm per side but I could be wrong

Here is the last few pics of the car before it was parked for the winter teardown.





UPDATE- I just started prepping the car for paint. Pulling the bumpers, sideskirts, and wing just trying to get everything cleaned up. The car has been neglected over the years so its a little beat up but Im bringing it back to life.

Plans are to get it painted around the end of january as well as order wheels, do a trunk setup, freshen the interior and get it sitting on aftermarket air. Here are a couple pics of the car starting to come apart. Ill finish getting it apart today anf fixing some cracks ect.
