seeing 22s in taiwan is like seeing paris hilton's SLR with 30"s, so u get an idea.
Heres my friend's LS with the new 22s, the ride is 100 times better than mine, but the 25 series ratio look like the tires dont got air. Scary. His LS is the only one with 22s in Taiwan, and of course mine was the first FX with 22s. Sorry about my pos cell pics.

The pictures look gr8, T H A N K Y O U for sharing !!!!!!! LOVE THE rear black light covers. I wish my car was black :-(. I still love the rims. What are the name of the rims and what other colors that would match a white pearl LS.

Im thinking of white covers for the rear lights and white rims wonder how that would look like.

that black piece on the giovanna is removable. if you have a good paint person you could have them special order the paint to match your car and have that piece painted (similar to what you saw in the red). But it looks like the silver piece is painted in black as well. They look quite similar except for the silver piece. oh well at least i tried :P

Well, similar but that's not it. The wheel brand is "Motoforged," they basically OEM a lot of wheels for many Japanese company like Work, Volk, etc. Here's a better picture of the wheel.

Sorry, haven't had much time to mod this car because of intense work. Anyway, here's the progress on it...

List of Mod ever since I got it
1) Motoforged 22" custom painted black 22x9 255/30/22 Nitto Front 22x10 295/25/22 Nitto Rear (bye bye scratched up 20" AC type 4)
2) 9" custom LCD x2 installed on custom head rest
3) DVD Hack, Satellite TV Hack, and game console prewired (Wii ready)
4) Painted black door handles, grill, trunk chrome trim, blackout sidemarker, brake lights and 3rd brakelight, front headlight(amber part), front and rear brakes painted red.
5) Custom Swarovski "L" emblem on rear, Swarovski ashtray/cigarette lighter, and Garson tissue holder (if you consider that a mod, lol)
6) All regular bulbs replaced with LCD bulbs.
7) Front plastic grill between the foglights replaced with custom black mesh.

But below is going on the car soon, those items has been sitting on the shelf in friend's shop for a few months now, cannot find the time .
1) Wald type 1 bodykit complete with duck spoiler. Going to be custom remolded for my taste (should I custom these pieces into carbon or just paint it black?)
2) Datasystem lowering electronic for air suspension LS.
3) Interior wood trim custom rewrapped into carbon or painted black.
4) Custom carbon pieces or painted stock plastic to be fitted inside engine bay instead of the dull black/silver plastic pieces.

Let me know what you guys have in mind?

The rear bumper on that silver car is it Wald Executive ?

The rear light covers look like they are boxed out. Where do u get them from ?

I just see red x's. It's like that a lot from my work computer. I'll have to wait until I get home. Hope it's worth the wait.
