No interior pic available.

That could be the next level of VIP modding, stretch it and make a Lexus LS62S

a car shop in okinawa i used to frequent specialized in stretching cars... i considered it for a minute until they showed me a y33 gloria that they had stretched (same as the car i owned at the time) and i just couldn't imagine driving it around... maybe being driven around in it but not driving it around...

that mb looks slick though.

yes im on coilovers. your fenders will only distort varying on how low you go, how wide your wheels are, etc etc. if you do the right fender work and have the right amount of negative camber your fenders wont cave

It depends on mileage, maintenance records, interior/exterior condition, clean title/carfax, and drive it to see if anythings wrong.

Looking good Mr. Doback, did you end up getting arms or just did a pull/shave or what? What are your fender mods bro?

No arms, just a roll up front and shave/pull in the rear. I downsized the lips in the front so I could fit easily.
