After owning the car for 8 months it was about time I got started, Garage Floor customs from HOuston did the install. Great job as usual here are some of their pics:biggthumpup:

Positive/negative comments are all welcome:)


Set up consist of:
UAS bags, thanks to Wilson at PG motoring.
Tein Comfor sport coils
Easy street digital managemnt.


Over all Im really satisfied with the ride. Pretty much like stock as soon as I find the best pressure to ride on.

edit: nevermind I was too slow.

Damn thats sick. I like how the controller is setup.

Yep, dropped it off Friday night took delivery 4 hours ago. The last car pic is all the way down and its on Tein comfort sport coilovers.

cool setup on the controller, can't wait to see the wheels on the car.

Clean setup, that gives me ideas on how to clean up mine. Can't wait to see those wheels mounted.

super nice setup! you are well on your way to a clean ride!

The custom controller looks alot better than before. Can't wait to see the wheels on. TX is coming up.

Nice ! !!!!!! cant wait to see the wheels on the car !!

Damn...... I say, just slap on the rims and you're done.... by the way, what struts/bags are u running? My images are small cuz im on my cellphone... but damn.....

ahhh,thats nice!i really like how they did the controller.ur car is gonna look sick!

can't wait to see the wheels on.

That is very nice!!!

this car is gonna look sick....cant wait to see the Waffes on

Jeebus Jeebus Jeebus.........thats all I'm gonna say

gangsta

Its in the first post, Tein comfort sports with UAS bags. Thanks.
[QUOTE=Trigga;167906]hows it ride when real sacked?[/QUOTE]
Aired out the ride is bouncy as fuck, but I think that would be with any sort of air set up:dunno:

I love it, very user friendly and I preferred better than the switches. With the money people spend on switch box, gauges, fittings, and valves Im suprised why peopl dont just put an extra couple hundred bucks and just buy a controller like this one. HoeBag recomended to me I highly recommend it to anyone else.

The ride on the freeway is just like stock. I got some city driving today and it was a bit bouncy in the rear but its my first day with it so I just need to find the right amount of pressure to ride on. Haven tried adjusting the cilovers or anything either so Im sure when I get around to it it will ride like stock.


Thanks again for the comments folks. Ill update as more stuf gets done/bought.

I needa see some baller wheels yo

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB

wow, once you get your wheels, you're pretty much done......of course in this hobby, you can never be truly done until you sell the car :biggthumpup:

damn this looks nice...makes me want to finish my car ahaha.

:drool:....looks tasty laid out!

[QUOTE=romeo291;168150]wow, once you get your wheels, you're pretty much done......of course in this hobby, you can never be truly done until you sell the car :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

I think when I ge the wheels I'll be about 20% done lol.

THe wheels are only temps to, theyre not as aggresive as I wanted to go so Im gonna get me some modulares whenever it goes to paint sometime in Late this yr/early next.

Oh nice!  So you are the one who got the Waffles.  Hit me up when you want to sell them.

[QUOTE=airmax;169296]they still havent arrived.[/QUOTE]

Big baller!

Hot damn, I want to see those wheels on there!!!  Nice man!

Oh there's a line!  

There won't be any tracking updates with EMS via the slow boat.  Just gotta be patient!

[quote=JGC;171448]lol nope not yet. I think this will be the last time I order some shit thats in Japan lol.[/quote]
you can always do air shipping.:biggthumpup: At first I did do ocean shipping but it took so long and there's no way you can track it. Now I do air shipping, specially for wheels, it may cost me a little bit more, but I get my stuff fast and I can track the package. lol.

anyways, I still can't wait for your wheels to be on your car.=)

thats gonna look sweet

Small update, picked up my wheels today from the post office. Dropped em off to get the lips redone and polished. Crappy cell pic for now Ill post some sometime next week when I put them on, roll the fenders and do the retro fit headlights.:)

Kinda what I plan to ride at:
[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/b16_eg/Picture052wheels.jpg[/IMG]
Rear fitment, would add a 5 mm spacer for flushness but it would probably rub a bit:-/:
[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/b16_eg/Picture054wheels.jpg[/IMG]
front fitment could fit a 5 mm spacer for flushness approved status but Ill probably just leave it alone and save money for other shit:
[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/b16_eg/Picture055wheels.jpg[/IMG]


I wish my fronts went lower when aired out but they dont:(

Usually at the meets I hardly even know anyone and get bored quick lol. I should go by the shop,  its like 5 mins walking distance from my house lol. I swear everyday I roll by to get home I look to the right to see if I see it outside at which point that means its done, nothing yet though:(
[QUOTE=phrosttz0;177233]looks sick, but yes better pics plz[/QUOTE]

Look closer, the dropped all the way pic shows less rim. Not alot but yea, I tried driving like that but its not possible lol. It sits right at the tire when I drive though, still weak:(

I may add the 5 mm spacers if I come across some for sale on cl or smoething but not something Im too concerned about.


and the difference from aired out to what I posted to be ride high was like 60 psi. Use to make alot more of a difference on the stock wheels lol.

Very nice.

That looks real good, I like it. What other plans do you have?

[QUOTE=HoeBag;177498]lol why did you add the *? it wouldve looked better as JEEBUS[/QUOTE]
Nah, if I had done it just JEEBUS  it would have been noticable quick. Like this you have to know what it is to notice it. DOnt knowif it makes sense lol, plus I liked the texas thing in the middle. I guess what Im trying to say is I didnt want it to be so noticable.
[QUOTE=nizzan4u2nv;177501]That looks real good, I like it. What other plans do you have?[/QUOTE]

Nothing now, Im gonna be buying parts from now until february-march for paint.  Full kit, wing, fenders, and exhaust are gonna be the first order thats for sure, hopefully be ordered end of august.  Then new wheels after that and small interior stuff and off to paint/body around March. Audio system after that then engine but right now im just concerned on buying exterior, wheels and interior stuff to be ready before next summer.  

I still pay for my own college so I cant waste the money I have for the kit and stuff just yet or else I would have already:sad:. I should know whats gonna happen within the next couple days.


Speaking of of the plate, ANis you a mod can you change my sn? Not necissary but if you can do it please.

What happen to your center caps? =)


Looks good!

love the stance :biggthumpup:

awesome jeeb looks guuuureats

nice and simple.i like it!:biggthumpup:

car looks good chuy. pm me your email and ill show you something else. btw i dont think i can make it to PZ after all.

nice ride

:runcoold:

damn that shit looks good.

1/5 inch scratch on right front wheel for the mother fucking loss!!!!!!!!!

fuck its small but its all I see now when I go out to my car. Fuck im pissed.

how did you scratch it?

I parked too close to the fucking curb.

:pat:

Local photo dude D fan caught my car at the meet tonight. I love the pic and it > my phone pics lol

It wasnt perfect but not bad for a first time attempting a retro fit:

^^^^ mann that shit is sick!! :biggthumpup::biggthumpup: i really wanna put F50 projectors on mine but i'm scared I might fuck it up. wanna do mines? hehe

looks good chuy. come by the shop sometime this week so i can see it.

[QUOTE=DaygoVIP619;178197]^^^^ mann that shit is sick!! :biggthumpup::biggthumpup: i really wanna put F50 projectors on mine but i'm scared I might fuck it up. wanna do mines? hehe[/QUOTE]

Trust me dude, this shit is so fucking easy, really time consuming and the first light is the experimental so its takes a while. My light output was fucked up because I got 2 right sided projectors. I thought it didnt make a difference but I think im gonna redo one and flip it upside down to fix the cut off.  THe low beam reflector was pretty much a perfect fit for the projector but we still had to cut alot.  Really easy stuff man, read a couple do it your selfs online and ask a couple questions and do it.   your headlight looks smaller than mine so check to make sure it fits first.

dude, your retros came out nice!  just lil things with that drivers side projector.

good seeing the ride last night jeebus. it looks dope.

Likewise joe, I been wanting to see your ride in person for a minute. Sick as hell, so much baller shit on it but the calipers are fucking awesom lol.

those are the rims i want on my Q. haha... shiet... let me know when you wanna let them go. =)

movin on uppppppppp

[QUOTE=VI IX;178314]those are the rims i want on my Q. haha... shiet... let me know when you wanna let them go. =)[/QUOTE]

Specs are way too conservative for a Q I think but yea you can catch em for sale beggining of next year. ALthough theres already 2-3 people claiming to have cash money when Im ready. I went to drop off my girls computer yesterday and her co worker in a 350Z has already decided he will spend his income tax on em when he gets it lol.

craaazzzzyyy

Sell my wheels then. =)

could be much worse.

looks good, do love your plates. if i ever see you rolling i'm gonna roll my windows down and scream JEEEEBUSSSSSSSSSS. :shrug:

lol. If you see me rolling, a simple honk or a shout out on the boards will do haha.

so hot!!!

did you turn the perch all the way down?  do you get any knocking?  my car's been getting some rough suspension knocking when driving at certain heights
i have the same air strut setup as you by the way, minus the digital air controller (and not sure about your manifolds though, gotta see pics)

haha, love the plate

nice job nice car nice idea ^_^

Yea if I go too low while riding the fronts tend to make some noice like its botoming out but when I look under nothing seems to be low enough to bottom out when I think it does. I jsut drive a little higher and it stops.

Its the UCA hitting the shock tower. Youll see it if you jack the car up and pull one of the front wheels off. This is what it looks like:

Damn, anyway to fix that shit? I never noticed but when I drive I have to ride high as fuck in the front if I dont want that to hit. Looks kinda ugly that high:(

^^^ cut out a hole wheres it hitting.i have the same problem,but still havent done it yet.

Damn, I think tiny on here had to do that to his accord. I dont know if I wanna do that though.

Well itsbeen about 3 months since I got anything new but today a couple things came in:
-Full kit
-Fogs
-Trunk Wing
-Roof Wing
-Fenders
-Dual Exhaust
Merry Christmas to me:dance:

congrats on the shipment in the mail! i have a 19/20 setup as well

im trying to sell mine but guess im waiting now for a few weeks til i get something to drive on

^^text me or hit me on aim or something foo.

awesome build, any updated pics? all the old ones dont show :(

nothing new but a few boxes in the garage.

:sad::sad::sad:

Nothing new, like nick said just boxes lol and new wheels really soon.  Probably no updates til summer or so when its out of paint:D

I did take this pic a couple of hours ago when I took pics of the wheels:
[IMG][IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/b16_eg/DSC04707.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]

clean wheels!!

so jeebs... is that your lawn service truck in the background? =)

but ferreal what are you dailying now?

damn thats so clean! i love those wheels.

now, roof spoiler and visors would set that off.

Lol no that's not my truck. I'm still dailying this car. I'm gonna buy something cheap when this one goes to paint so I have something to move around on for a few months.

Thanks folks. Vzupt I have the roof spoiler just not insttalled. Planning to get window visors soon as well.

thats alot of cool stuff

are the fenders wider?

unfortunately theyre not. from my understanding the extra clearance with artisan spirit fenders is only on the 2GS or other applications. I could be wrong though, not that it matters since there will be flares added to the car:D

:signdammit: I can't wait to see this LS done! for real Jeebus

g-bus ferreal.

Khan, still dont know if even gonna be using any flares. Still gonna mount the tires see how they fit, maybe radiused fenders and a little more camber will do the trick.

looking good homie!

Is that a fiberglass rear flare? Front looking good for sure.Take some more side and rear shots vato loco.

metal^^ gonna look tight

coming together nicely! Love them vip modulars

hot damn

WTF! Pics are red x's for me.  I wanna see!

[QUOTE=AlleyKat;292490]Is that a fiberglass rear flare? Front looking good for sure.Take some more side and rear shots vato loco.[/QUOTE]

No mames guey. Nah, they're metal. The front fenders are fiberglass so those will be cut and fabricated with more fiberglass obviously.  Ill take some more pics when I go tomorrow or Friday.

Did you raise the rear fender lines and flair it? Or did you just flair from the factor height?

it was cut and raised a little but not by much.

Damn thats gonna be one mean lookin LS rollin down the road
 
As for the guys that cant see the pics, y'all are really missin out :slap:

haha. The pics should be working now. I used our local forum uploader which went offline for a little while but it should be fine now.


Thanks everyone. Hopefully I'll have some updates tomorrow of the fronts and rears completed:D

Its not some big secret or anything, I don't really car for the show scene myself. The car's at MXT, I was going to go with jc but they were most likely out my budget and the turn around time is a joke, though they do do top notch work.  Mxt's pricing is pretty fair for all the work they're doing and my car is coming back in less than a month. You can hit up ikonmark on the forums and he'll help you out

maybe its the angle, but it looks to me like it needs to be arched a little higher (unless he wants it to tuck like that)

Nice update [URL="http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/member.php?u=8579"]ikonmark[/URL]! I hope it's still going to be cambered!

Couple more pics of it I took today:

Not adding more camber to it, if anything I will change the wheels to smaller width with much lower offset to give it a more cambered look but for now I'm fine with the camber it has.

Coming along verrry nicely.

Wow looks good can't wait to see the front fender work. Not familiar with the different gen ls I see you have a front bumper/kit but what kind of fenders is that?

very nice!

looks like its coming out good!!
 
what kit is that again?

Looks good, thanks for the updates. Your ride is going to come out sick. The only bone I would have to pick if it were my car is that it looks like they are removing dings with filler Like on the hood and door panels but as long as they know what they are doing it should be cool. Good to see you had the emblems shaved too. Can't wait to see what they fab up for the front fenders.

we never let any of our color change vehicles go into a new color with body damage thats just ugly lol

Thats normal for bodywork man.Pretty much everything needs even a very thin layer of filler on top to have things smooth.Its different when lets say you have a big dent and its not pulled out,just completely filled in.

Thanks so whats the difference in those fenders versus stock? Are they already wider he just needs more because of his wheels?

[QUOTE=vizionclk430;293525]Thanks so whats the difference in those fenders versus stock? Are they already wider he just needs more because of his wheels?[/QUOTE]
They're vented like Lorinser style.

For certain applications the fenders do come wider. When i bought them i thought they were going to come wider but that was not the case for the LS400 so I kept them just for the design and having the body shop widen them out to fit the wheel.

coming alone pretty good i love your wheels man , i am going to put my black f50 in that way in a few month hopefully to get it done .

Wow, very nice project, can't wait to see its done
Aimgaine Euro is my favorite, hope i can afford it soon

[QUOTE=ikonmark;293249]its the angle[/QUOTE]

eh...even in the other pics the wheels dont look flush. guess its gonna be slightly sunken in. :shrug:

[QUOTE=airmax;293564]eh...even in the other pics the wheels dont look flush. guess its gonna be slightly sunken in. :shrug:[/QUOTE]
Ill add a 5mm spacer for flushness, plus it gives me a little extra clearance for new wheels in a couple months. 12 inch wide was a little wider than I thought so i want something less wide soon.

lol ppl never want to listen to me :pat:

new wheels already? you havent even seen the car finished with these. man i wanna be a baller like you and lil troy. :runcoold:

you should keep the wheels dude.. any other skinnier wheel that you choose will have the same outer position, albeit a lower offset. your current wheels just fill up the space inside. wider is better! =)

i agree with this dude. lip is over rated. fitment > lip.

yup, but I guess if a thin layer of bondo smooths out where PDR leaves off, or if it's just easier or faster or whatever. But yeah, this build is coming along well. I love under construction shots. That's where all the magic happens.

looking good man.

sick wit it man...

when i went to school for body work we were tought to metal work all dents. some of my buddies continued to persue the field (both custom and collision) and when they got the real world experience they handled whisky dents exactly how this shop is doing them. the explanation was that the dents are so small and shallow that it is better to just fill them rather than work them, because when you work them you actually make the damaged area larger. made sense to me.

cant wait to see this one done

That makes sense. Those dents were minimal, in fact over half of those I didn't even know were there so i'm sure the filler was minimal

Thanks guys, will post more pics when I have more updates and a proper photoshoot will be done once I get the exhaust on:biggthumpup:

Gotcha. I forgot the name of the tool that welded a spike or like a nail to the ding, then a slide hammer, grinder and minimal filler, and then sand block. I tried to get our instructor to teach me PDR but those guys hold their tricks of the trade close to their heart. Yeah, makes sense, much easier and cost evective to just sand it down sqweegie a little filler and hit it w/ the sand block especially if like say a whole panel is gettin painted or in this case whole car.  PDR is to avoid all that LoL.

love the wheels btw.

OMG I can't wait to see the final!!!!

very nice, can't wait to see it in person soon

wtf I have missed all this !!!!!!   WOW at the work so far !!!!

Really nice.

sweet jeebus!

the paint is laid on the car!

Dam you guys really putting it down for H Town... Much Props on this build and all the other fine RE builds....

any updates? would love to see pictures of it with the paint... :D

lookin good

dayyyum!  I am glad you are gonna complete this project!

we need ATLEAST a teaser

It's almost ready, maybe this weekend if not I will get it back by the next.  I would post some shots but I don't have any good ones and I'm having a hard time taking a picture and capturing the actual color without making it look like something it isn't.

want me to go up there and snap pics Jeebus?

DO IT!!

go up there and get me updates, you can find me on aim later tonight LOL.

I might swing by in a few when I go to lunch. No pics joe, already talked to kalvinmaui to shoot the car once it comes out ;)

can he fit you into his tight schedule? lol.

What The F?  I want pix!

+1 on pics. I cant wait to see pics this is gonna be on point and look so nice with that new fresh paint.

youll get pics when its done.

I wasn't going to post any pictures until we got a photo shoot together but the car will be going into hibernation again this week so I can send some things off to dipp-tech and have my interior redone so I figured I would post 1 pic. Aiming to have it put back together by the time IR comes around in April. Crappy cell pic so consider this a teaser. It's a candy metallic red color  so it's hard to get the actual color with my cell phone, it does it no justice whatsoever :sad::

Yup, came out fresh for sure. Get rid of that nasty orange and done dealie. How do you feel right now. Gotta feel on top of the world. Nice choice in color too.

Looks real nice and different from what most people are doing from the wheel choice to the paint.  Well done.  

I am glad you didn't make us wait until April to see a teaser

damn Jeebus this is something else... i want to see it in person already

Thanks for the kind words. Still so much more to go but we're getting there.  As far as the corners, I just bought these brand new when it was getting painted. I guess I should have just bought clear ones but I've had bad experiences with after market head lights in the past so I didn't really consider them but the orange is kind of an eye sore now that it's painted so I'll have to look into them.  20sburning, where did you get yours? If you don't mind saying.

I could be wrong but it just looks like an orange bulb in there.  If thats the case, just get one of those silver bulbs that light up amber when on

It isn't. The orange piece you see it what covers the bulb under it.  The bulbs in there are clear but light up amber due to the orange cover.  I guess we could attempt to break them open and remove it then just seal them up.  I'll have to look at my old ones first.

oh my that is a beautiful piece of work jeeebus

When I took my headlights apart to put in my Halo's I figured I could just heat up the turns and pull that orange dome out... boy was I wrong! I melted the shit out of my corners.....
So I bought my from 
[url]http://www.imcshop.com/indi/braga/cel20l_cornerclear.htm[/url]
and they have not leaked one time! They really look like OEM quality if you ask me..

Its been posted in the thread. 20x10 and 20x12 +0 all around. 20s are perfect for any ucf imo. Thanks for the compliments.

WOW! that is beautiful!

The car is str8 up raw homii, itz been a long time coming, them exhaust  made a big difference...

looks awesome Jeebus

damn thats Sickkkk !

Perfect exhaust for that car.
Reddingout the amber portion of the tails is an option as well.

love it, and the fact that you decided to do something unconventional with the color..something rarely seen outside of japan.  new tails and new grill will finish the car, imo.

Damn.... Just DAMN.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

^^ what this man says......good gosh jeebus

wow jeebus your on a whole nother level now, well done sir  :drool:

[QUOTE=Schnitz;301850]Perfect exhaust for that car.

^^^My thoughts exactly(reverse lenses too) Car came out extra clean Jeebus.

Thanks guys. Im actually in the process of ordering some LED tails:biggthumpup:. Redding outthe tails would be too much red with the car being red and all.  I should have some pictures of the newly done interior end of next week=)

SiCkness!!!

Sorry if it's old news, but thought this LS would be an area of interest for you Jeebus. And I'm with you on 20s fitting your ride perfect. LEDs are gonna be fresh.

I agree 20's sit well. For some reason I am not a big fan of radiused fenders and big wheels. Granted that 430 is a bit of an exception cos it's a uuuuge car to start with. But this ride:

Wow that 430 is crazy. I like radius fenders but they look odd to me when rolling.  They look great at a stand still since they drop a lot lower than any other cars on big wheels. It's very expensive body work as well which I wasn't willing to spend either way.  And Im pretty sure the article was talking about RacinStylez 430 from Texas. Its the only 430 with radiused fenders in the state that I know of:giggity:

Whaaa, you're a maniac man. Paint hasn't even settled and you're attacking the interior LoL. And yeah, they had to be talking about RacinStylez's ride. Nonstop Jeebus nonstop. My hat is off to you man. Do your thing.

Racinstylez knows what time it is. 
Refined elegance has some nice cars now. The rootbeer of the 2 Lexus' is my favourite color ....Daymn.

Damn that Red is HOT!! This looks real good...

panels look good chuy.

Damn! You're not fukkin around. And to think you almost sold it. Glad you kep it. :D

^^^^He got lucky to.....if I had the money, then I would have bought his LS...lol.

Awesome job with your ride Jeebus.......its an inspiration for my LS build as well. 
I just picked up a set of 20x9.5 -5 and 20x11 -5 for my LS.....hopefully I might be able to get away with an extreme roll and pull.

Haven't been able to update the thread for a while due to mishaps witht he shop I was dealing with to do the interior but were finally getting somewhere. Here is the driver, its almost done just needs minor adjustments.

Oh snap!  Is that suede in the diamond-stitched part?

Thanks folks. Here is a shot of the final product for the driver seat before I dropped it in the car. I should have the rest of the stuff by the end of the week so ill put it in on the weekend if I get my car back by then. Yes, the inner parts of the seats and door panels is suede, the rest was replaced with leather again since my old leather starting to look worn.  They're pretty sturdy since I guess they're "new" and they are pretty comfortable.

Nice dude, I really like what you've done to your LS.  I am hoping to get mine to that level.  Can't wait for those photoshoot pix.  :biggthumpup:

Nice. Lookin forward to seein it all in the ride, the red on tan sounds kinda good

i'm looking to get my interior redone, where'd you do it at jeebs?

Chicos upholstery on harwin. So far I can't say I'm 100 percent satisfied so aproach at your own risk. He does a lot of highend cars (working on 2 ferraris since my car was there along with a benz and bemer here and there) along with commercial stuff like vans and stuff so they're good for redoing seats and such but the custom work they could use some more work.

hows the pricing? fair? get what you pay for?

Looks nice

I like it!! Your car is getting pretty close to complete!!

very clean bro... very clean!

looking good.

[QUOTE=brainneeded;308867]hows the pricing? fair? get what you pay for?[/QUOTE]

Stitches on HW6 does great job, but they're a bit costly

Costly is an understatement. They wanted to do mine for 6k.

[QUOTE=jeebus;309116]Costly is an understatement. They wanted to do mine for 6k.[/QUOTE]
I hope thats including some freaking rare albino tiger fur or something to that extent.That price is ridiculous!

That only included panels and seats. Not even a headliner or pillars. Got a much better deal where I went.

Sorry if i missed it (hard to surf on ipad) but why are downsizing to 19s when youre alredy on 20s?

Just trying to get the car lower to the ground. I'll go back to 20s some day.

want those wheels omfg.

[QUOTE=jeebus;373511]You might find them in the wheels for sale section soon:hsughcool:[/QUOTE]
 
no you won't.

those wheels would fit nice on my ka9

you can drop them off at my house when you pick up the leons. lol.

As it turns out, the koenigs werent gonna fit my car unless I ran a pretty big spacer to clear the caliper. Rebarell, custom spacers or extended studs were gonna be more than I wanted to spend so I went ahead and order some leon hardiritt Grals instead. I'm keeping the koenigs for now and might end up rebuilding them sometime next year when the grals get boring.

they're gonna look dope. i hope you are finally content enough with the car after this round to keep it (and be happy about it).

sick!!!

fuhhhhhhhhhhhh i love those wheels. cant wait to see them on your car!

gonna look sick on the LS jeebs. can't wait to see them on.

This weekend cant be here fast enuff =) looking sick bro...

Gonna be SICK!!!! :biggthumpup:

Thanks folks. I'll see if I can get some pics this weekend.  The car is in major need of a detail so I was hoping to wait til then but from what I hear the detail guy is booked solid for the next couple of months so I might have to skip it:signdammit:

just put it on!

guess i'll be home just in time to see for myself =)

ahh man i love that feeling of having something new... especially wheels! cant wait to see them on!

Nice! Can't wait to see 19's on your car. Is there a reason why you went with a 9" in the front? Why not something wider than 9"? Tire options are a lot better with a 9.5" or 10".

No real reason for it. If I had shopped for tires prior to ordering them, I probably would have just stuck with a 10 inch like before.  

I basically had to order the specs off the chart that were closest to my old specs since I didn't want to do any more fitment mods. I knew I wanted to go down to an 11 in the rear so I chose the offset closest which happens to extend it out 5mm, which I think will be perfect. I think I did look in a 10 inch as well but the closest offset was going to be 10 mm further out iirc which would more than likely cause rubbing issues.

this car on 19s is gonna be sick!

Didn't know that you couldn't order custom offsets from Super Star. Is Work the only one that does that? The Grals are gonna look nice on your car.

SSR you can order custom specs
 
and I heard if you know the rigth people, that you can get custom specs w/ Weds/superstar
 
I think they charge more for it as well

I think you can do custom offsets with weds' Kranze line but not the others like maverick, could be wrong thoigh.. iirc correctly some ssr wheels go by a chart also.  

There were quite a few restrictions but I liked the wheels. I originally ordered them with a step lip but they called me back and said they do not do step once you get over a certain lip size.  I'm kind of glad it worked out this way because the faces look small as is when I pulled them out of the boxes and with the way the lip is on these it would have looked weird with kind of a double step, if that makes any sense.

no kranze line is also off the chart

Those wheels are gonna look a lot better then your old ones IMO.

Mavericks have an option for custom offset, kranze do not. Usually 2 piece wheels are free offset because they just move the face in/out depending on offset before they weld it. 3 usually isnt because they have premade lips and barrels for assembly. If that makes sense.

awesome cant wait to see them mounted! just in time to roll out to ATB

damnnnnn jeeb

No sign of my wheels yet  :pat:.......................:eek4wtf:

very very nice:biggthumpup:

God damn that ish is bad!!!!

HA! NICE! It looks like the LS version of my car! :biggthumpup:

:giggity:I like the stance better with these wheels than the 20's...

damn Jeebus, this is very classy...

huge improvment on an already dope ride.

very nice Jeebs

[QUOTE=PANCAKES!;394825]HA! NICE! It looks like the LS version of my car! :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

Exactly what I was thinking haha

Looks bad jeebus!

Thanks guys. Pancakes, I sees it. My first choice before the modulars was actually the weds you have at one point.  

Debating if I should add a small spacer to the front so it matches the rear. The specs converted were suppose to sit 5mm further out up front but to me they seem to be in the same position as my old wheels. Im assuming since these were 19s and with the upper control arm clearance the car went a little lower causing a little bit more camber.

lol pancakes. i see it too haha.

THIS IS AWESOME!

Lookin good, classy color. Later.

car looks good jeebus. im curious how that front lip is going to survive now that the car sits much lower lol

new wheels look great!

Damn those fit your car so well!

PM jeebus. to tell him how ill his car looks!!!

i like it man, wheels flow really well with the car.  if you can get the rear lower, id like it evne more

i love the new height!! i love when people improve on a already perfect car!

Looks sexy. Good work.

new wheels sit alot better than your 20s, its more lower to ground aired out. Great job.

Looking good bro, love how its sitting....

freakin great.

+ one for Mexico ..  Jk jk  .. 
 
Looks AWWW SOME ...:biggthumpup:

new wheels looking good Jeebus

WOW! Your car at its best :biggthumpup: love the new setup

Easily your best look yet jeebz :biggthumpup:

on point!

[QUOTE=Brandicus;395528]Easily your best look yet jeebz :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

blue steel was better

new setup looks killer jeebus! 

I really want those fenders for ucf30/31s..... :(

Damn this car has come a long way! I remember this from the beginning! Looks fucking sick man!

damn this looks SO HARD right now!

Yo Jeebs

read through most of this thread but got lazy, jus wanted to know
You're rockin artisian fenders w/ a little bit of custom added to it right?
And are these the metal fenders or are they the fiber glass ones??

These are fiberglass, I wasn't even aware they made metal fenders. These have been cut and widened since Artisan did not offer them widened already like they do for the GS.  Some applications give extra clearance vs stock but not for the LS.

Got it, thanks

they make metal fenders?

Got some new pics from a shoot from this past weekend.  Much better than previous ones posted
[QUOTE=wargoddamn;11797897]I have always wanted to take pictures of this car after All Team Bash as it rolled by me.  I was amazed at the stance and thought to myself that i have to PM Jeebus to set something up!

Anyway, we finally met up and did a photoshoot for it!

Hope you guys enjoy the photos :) :thumb:[/QUOTE]

looks good as always, just need to get that rear ride height dialed in.

I've been debating on those camber plates you're slanging now. The rubbing is getting to me now.

[QUOTE=jeebus;408505]I've been debating on those camber plates you're slanging now. The rubbing is getting to me now.[/QUOTE] what is there to debate ... you need it  ?

camber adapters are for the front, but i think there is some rear stuff in the works. i'll look into it for you.

Looking good Jeebus! in a non club lexus way...meaning it does look good and not just saying it

Looks good

i want one of those mags.

Small update time. Got with mike at OG for some control arms to add camber since the wheels rubbed while driving. It's more camber than I would have wanted but im going to match the front with the rear before decide if I like it or not. 2 pics I found from OG bbq this past weekend.

gdamn that's a lot of rear camber.

Not a big fan of excessive camber. :(

Me rikey :biggthumpup:

i like the camber jeebus and whats up! long time no seeez :)

This build continuously gets better. 

If your going to match camber front and rear, this will look amazing!

:dance::giggity:

matching front camber in the works. i have a feeling there will be some mods done in the rear to get back to single digits (currently 12*). the real issue is the rears won''t quiite tuck yet, and 12* at this height does not look real good. ~10* a couple inches lower on the other hand...

reminds me of james' car because it doesnt sit very low with all that camber.

Clean i like it. Plus it matches the air ride, so its all good!

OG what parts are you using to get all this camber? If you dont mind me asking.

i dont think the camber is very excessive...it looks perfect when aired out..kinda ugly at drive height to be perfectly honest tho..definitely gotta get something done about that im sure mike can think something up....
 
for real talk tho, if your front camber matched your rear camber, youd have my fav ls4 stateside, and one of my fav period....straight outa japan stuff man

the first pic is ride height actually. The pic with my tails on is almost full up, I was moving the car. Full down tucks the tire and top of the lip where as before my fenders sat on the wheel lip.

well then damn, your shit sick.  i just didnt think they ride that low in texas

we have to with how smooth our roads are and all.

RE rackin e-cred

well all ride low in pics and high in person.

lovely color! fenders are superb!

Looks superb bruh I know its even better in person...

agreed that it will look better with the fronts evened  out with the rear camber.

very nice .. cant wait to see the fronts finished .. 
 
Cuban Gs now has a big brother ..

god damnnnn love it!

it's growing on me. the camber + the rear fender work makes looks like it was meant to be like this from the get go.

I cant stop staring at this fking thing. 
Can I be like you when I grow up?

Fenders look great!

Camberlicious that's all I gotta say. :drool:

Damn i like where this is going! can't wait to see the fronts finished.

i not a big fan of the camber thing..... LMAO yea right this thing is in beast mode right now!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! great job with the rears bro!!! 

by the way spotted this on stance nations FB first!!

38/34? for what purpose other than looking cool on the internet? no reason on earth to go that high other than typing it over and over.
 
but i am anxious to see this car's suspension dialed in. it has never had the ride height it deserved.

Well i think everyone know im a fan of excessiveness,besides its better be safe than sorrystiffer springrates lessen the chance of fender to wheel damage! This is the reason why i went with the tuck look and gave up in the poke/ flush look that shyt is way herder to pull off!! I really want to see someone pull it off!!!

i prefer the precision approach. do exactly what you need; no more, no less. this car will not be getting any more bodywork so i don't think flush at ride height is in the cards. flush 19s is just too high.

fuck it, weld the shocks. because racecar.

Flush on 19's too high..? Chris you be tripping :smiley-rofl:

That ish been done countless times in the Japan scene, and also with 20's. 19"/20" staggered setup would be the best in my opinion and also that can be achieved without too much work. For the LS it should be even easier because of the way the rear doors/quarters are shaped. You would only need to mildly tub your front inners and radius accordingly, and rears are a walk in the park for a skilled body man. Just cut open the door well/quarter and move a tad higher and take a piece of the door off as well. It's just as easy as rust panel repair.... no biggie right =)

Of course this isn't for you beginners out there, you'd need to have some experience with body panel repairs and a bit of imagination.

Biggest problem with this is that you would be SLAMMED as a mofo ALL TIME even with cups, so it might be a little tough DD'ng this  :shrug:
That's the reason why I didn't go that route with  my 20/21 setup... oh and I'm not confident enough with my skillz (unexistent).

i dont see why such the long reply to some random ass shit i said! i appreciate the concern but my WORD doesnt mean shit no need to take it to heart! besides i was just agreeing with OG so go quote that muthafucker! 

next time just send me a PM if you get butt heart, your opinion about my opinion about OGs opinion is pointless in this thread!

sorry Jeebus! build on!!

heres a double post! daily driving your car should never be an issue. because BALLS.

No hurting here bro =)
Just wanted to bring my thoughts out, srry if I came out wrong.

And sorry Jeebs for cluttering  your thread, continue with the good work:biggthumpup:

radius

i think y'all missed the part about no more body work. as of right now jeebus just wants to work with what he has, but every know and then there's a brief second of hope where he sounds like he may rebuild. keep your fingers crossed.
