Yeah, that'd have to be me. I take Jamboree to MacArthur everyday to work. I work in Fashion Island.

Are you in Irvine?

That's hilarious... Maybe I'll see your car around...

Did you remove your rear badges? I saw a GS in the area that did that. I tried and found that you would need to fill some holes...

you are absolutely right. I tried it out at this height for a lil. Gonna lower it to flush this weekend... It's kind of nice at the current height though... Easy to get out of my garage, easy to get into the parking structure at work (a lot of speed bumps and a spiral road to go up)... and no worries when I go to LA.... but why am I complaining, we got to pay to play right?

that's the right spirit i guess i am kinda hardcore now. i don't like tucking at all, but i like to be almost zero gap, maybe 1/2 finger at most. that's what i have on both my gs400 and sc430 and i love it. somehow i think that looks the best.

it could be just me but i think in your case if you lower it more it would be perfect. right now it's good already though btw. oh and i would lower the back a bit more than the front too

oh and going around in LA? as long as it's not downtown or some very ghetto area, i actually have zero problems with my cars even with body kits though going slow and angle on driveways is a must

Very nice, I must say that after the inital "shock" and Maxima stabs, the new GS is a really nice looking car. Everyitme I see one (with the OEM 18s and tint) I notice that its "athletic" looking vehicle.

Of course with wheels and suspension its even better, great choice of wheels, btw.

Thanks. I took the board's advice and lowered the car as much as the C/o's would allow... I will post pics later today as soon as I have a chance to download it to my computer.
