This actually looks quite nice!

I like this one especially in White so one can see how all the lines flow on this LS.


Keep up the good work.

The ride was definitely more stiff compared to an OEM LS.

The wheels are 22s, not sure on the sizing though.

We just dropped the car off for the body kit paint and install + exhaust + tune..
