nice meeting you today homie. good luck with the build and let us know if you need help with anything. :biggthumpup:

might be able to help with the camber. i live near the navy housing
 
oh, and you shoulda cut instead of rolling. my preference though. toyota fenders suck cuz of those tab holes. plus cutting loooks way cleaner

YEA........THESE work LOL!!!!! Good sheit!!! And I'm still and always will be jealous that you were able to get your airrunner kit in a week instead of waiting 4-5 months! HAhahahaha! 
 
DOPE! :biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Oh Damn!!! That looks so much nicer than I expected... I don't know about the DH's......

Wifey plus kreis = bad ass. I liked the way the dhs sat too but u would need to flare the back. Thanks for supporting the shop. :biggthumpup:

DAAMN! thanks everyone for all the positive feedback! i have definitely learned alot in the couple of months i have been on this site reading from all your experiences! the lex is still a major bucket in my eyes but eventually i can park next to you guys at a meet! 

i guess this is version 1.0 since she will sitting like this until i have funds for paint!


[QUOTE=VI IX;340273]... Thanks for supporting the shop. :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

thanks for showing me the way! LOL

Car looks great

im about to take the 10mm spacers off the back! im pretty sure i can roll all dumped! LOL

looking good bro

Damn dude that is a very good start. Get those -29's on there, I want to see how it looks on the ground with them on there!

Damn, I gotta give it up. That's sick. Congrats. I love that look. I've always had a thing for the 1st gen gs/still do. That's some lippage and some LoW. Thanks for sharing.

[QUOTE=bWiLKINS;340402]Damn dude that is a very good start. Get those -29's on there, I want to see how it looks on the ground with them on there![/QUOTE]

it goes no where near the ground with the -29s! it just sits on the tires! the front is laying on the upper arms about an inch from laying frame! i would love to fit the eurolines back on but they wont fit until i do paint and get it ALL done at once! who knows i might have some different wheels by then!

thanks alot bro! im not 100% with it yet! i had 10mm slip on in the rear but it scraped lip on the way down! it currently has 5mm and they are perfect! im not too happy about how the front sit fully slammed i might put the 10mms there... =/

[QUOTE=antbo;342061]did you move out of SD already? damn, got a blown headgasket huh, damn![/QUOTE]

now that i think about it, thats the ralphs (or used to be) on plaza blvd. haha. are you rollin to wuw or is your car still down?

love it, keep those wheels, sell the eurolines, and use that money on paint or w/e.
 
and i really wanna arm wrestle you, no homo.

Ride is looking sick. I agree with the others. Keep the current wheels. Build is looking really dope so far. Looking forward to what else you got in store for it.

thank you very much! the front fitment with the eurolines is perfect without spacers! and i want to radius the rears to fit them at full dump with camber! im not a big fan of tuck =/ 

[IMG]http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Jacco%20Willemsen/DOHCresearch/543%20(2).jpg[/IMG]

Tuck is tight, but that look right there is ideal...strait tailored to perfection^^^
Good luck with your move man, sorry to hear about the mis-hap.

blown headgasket??? i have to HG repair on my 1GS as well.... are you selling the coils you had on there? PM me

thats very pretty

thanks! i should be back on the Eurolines by this weekend!!!!

Man I keep coming back to this car and thinking how much I like it. There is just something about it (prolly the fitment). Its nice and basic but just grabs your attention. Is there a paint job/kit in its future?

thanks and yes there is! this is my long term VIP project! right now im thinking black with a JP kit.  need to stack some pieces before paint though and im still working on fitment =/

from my blog!

heres a to-do list thats been driving me crazy! i have been 'training' at work and havent had too many days off! as soon as i get into my regular working schedule i should be on my way!

stance

-pick-up and fit the Eurolines (getting the rear set adjusted from et-29 to et-4)
-install RCAs
-order 2nd gen GS300 front upper camber adjustable arms

misc

-re-wire foglights to run with parking lights
-re-wire parking lights to be just parking lights and not parking light/ turn -signal
-mod/ fit new LED turn signal
-change foglight bulbs from 3k to 6k
-polish headlights and taillights

i want paint like yesterday but there are a couple of pieces i need to collect before i take her in! for example: BRAND NEW chrome window trim, chrome 2nd gen GS door handles.... for sure the JP kit will have to come further down the line after the initial color change to black =/

i know everyone loved the stance with the SSRs but it wasnt the idea i had in my head =/ this is what i was aiming for! honestly i think i am very close to finishing the stance that i want to achieve! the front is not fully dumped in this pic because i get rediculous camber lower than this point i am hoping RCAs will bring the camber out a few MMs and the 2nd gen upper arms should put it EXACTLY where i want it! and well maybe get the rears pulled a little bit. comments and criticism welcome!

[IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4150/5024565290_e900dbd77e_z.jpg[/IMG]

Better pics please. Haha

nope thats all you get! LOL maybe later tonight ima go cruise the beach with the fam!

the 1st gen gs is my fave....

[QUOTE=CubanGS;345432]comments and criticism welcome![/QUOTE]

Preety fucked up place to be livin at if ya got speed bumps right out in front of your yard :yahoo_68:

i think your ride would look great if you radius'd the rears, but i can't really tell at this angle. i LOVED the tuck on the SSRs and i normally hate tuck. but in the end, do what you do, you're the one that's gonna have to live with this ride, which looks great. :biggthumpup:

thank guys!! i LOVE my new stance! i still need more work to perfect it, but im definitely back on track!

where the ssr go, back for sale?

[QUOTE=GS300ToM;345755]where the ssr go, back for sale?[/QUOTE]

pfftlrapted. sh*t is sick. You're getting madd love here bro. 19's are a good compromise. Perfect on a 1st gen gs imo. You made it kinky too. Got down on them and they're way out there too. Good ratio of LoW:fender:Wide:biggthumpup:

thank you very much sir! :dance:

looks awesome bro!

When I first saw the DH's you got I thought there's no way you could pull them off. Thanks for proving me wrong! They look perfect on your car.

that is crazy.. i guess being super dumped like it is the 19s make them look way big on there. but properly so.

i have only been on this site for a couple of months and i truly knew nothing about VIP styled cars until i joined here! thank you to everyone to helped me start this build in one way or another! big thanks to ANTBO for all his connects! and Autofashion for obvious reasons!  

the first VIP car i fell in love with was PANCAKEs Q, then was the 2nd Gen Liberty GS300 with the custom rear fenders, and especially Chrispy for his ride height fully kitted! 

mainly it was the people that said i couldnt fit them! hehe

Awwww.....madd love Chris! 
Trust I've been in this scene for a few years and I'm still learning and have a ton more to learn. Jus keep doing you though, your off to a better start than most! :biggthumpup:

The car looks sick with the wheels :biggthumpup:

third times the charm lol...

thanks josh! and everyone else for the positive feedback!! now that i kinda have the fitment figured out the next step is finding my dream wheels and making them 1 of a kind! the only hint im giving is that they are going to be Works and 18s! 

this is actually my favorite pic! and i JUST installed the 30mm RCA's so no more sunk front wheels at full dump!

Damn!  Hella clean!

thank you so much for doing this justice and making a real build.... car looks great cant wait 2 see how much farther u take this thing... u still plannin on the theme kinda like the ls you posted from black pearl?

thanks! the build might slow down due to yen/ dollar exchange rate but unless i die its not going to stop! shyt i already rebuilt the engine practically!

as for the plans... yes the SCARFACE theme is still a GO! not sure about the paint exactly yet so until im 120% sure im going to keep stalling on it! like i been saying for a couple months now stance is still #1 im debating whether i need the 2nd gen GS front upper camber adjustable arms =/ dont think i need them but they wouldnt hurt! last couple of weeks i been for the JP grill which is discontinued and some sort of twin tip exhaust! 

heres a random photoshop the wifie did for me!

nothing crazy just black paint black JP grill and the JP kit =/

[IMG]http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp194/Cadi_luva/scarface.jpg[/IMG]

glad to see them fitted with the milling

ooh!! scarface theme!! photochop looks good!! would look killer black on the outside with white interior!!:biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=CubanGS;348958]thanks josh! and everyone else for the positive feedback!! now that i kinda have the fitment figured out the next step is finding my dream wheels and making them 1 of a kind! the only hint im giving is that they are going to be Works and 18s! [/QUOTE]

i got the new wheels in my garage! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

ballin!!!! can't wait to see what goes on next for this car. =)

Damn you change wheels alot! Haha looks good as always, keep us updated.

yeah buddyyy

ooohwee

weeeeee!! those look nice!!

18's?

siiick

Yup 18s! I think its another step in the proper direction!

those wheels top the other 2 sets. are you going to leave them that color (scheme) or do you have one in mind?...

paint them the color of the car son!

always progressing...can't wait to see the finished product!

[QUOTE=Kouki Monster;349349]paint them the color of the car son![/QUOTE]
^^^I think he's gonna paint the car to match the wheels.
Equips are fresh and those look like they have some spicy specs =)

first thing is test fitting the perfect size dishes, then adjusting the offset to fit the dishes, and finally fitting the inner dishes not to rub! all in all should be completely custom everything i dont even think ill have specs to reference! the previous owner bought the wheels as 18x10 -5 18x12 -5, he then traded the inner and outer dishes with another dude and made thinks he made them 18x9.5 +5 and 18x11 +5! with that said now the rears are -5 and hella big inner dishes and weak outer dishes! the faces on these wheels sit way further out than my eurolines did when they were -29! when these were 12s they had to have had near the same offset!

first i need to find the outter dish i want and them bring the face inward under the quarter panel to fit and then match the inner lip not to rub......

look how much space i have behind the huge inner lip!

One helluva scatterbrain wild goose chase in terms of the rebuild history and how you want them to fit. Sounds good though, but that "x" factor, lol. Any chance just flipping them around would work?...
That pic there is just kinky bro. I'd say calculate the rubber/pull you need and get those bad boys on there. Good luck on your venture. Gonna be sick~er .

thanks! i have been told i think outside the box but i dont even know what fucken box they are talking about! LOL

if this wheel is a 18x11 -5 (supposedly) than i can fit atleast another inch on the inside! the Viennas were 19x10 +11 and i could roll fully slammed and tucked and not rub tire or wheel! 

BTW here is my tool= [url]http://www.willtheyfit.com/[/url]
this only works as long as you have a good base line wheel for the 'before' 

[IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/5091928134_48bd346217_z.jpg[/IMG]

interesting! like the updates! i was told that too about the out side the box. I spend most my time in a box called my garage with a measuring tape now LOL

oops forgot to post i use this [url]http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp[/url] the one you posted is good but confusing. Cause I am looking to add 1inch more to the front lip of the wheel in the front. if you calc that it says the inner will be pushed out on the theorized offset.. but in fact it doesnt, the back half stays the same while pushing the outer part of the wheel outside

thanks for the tool!

my boy Miguel with notepad, calculator and ruler in hand! LOL

That candy red gloss would be wild, but the white actually looks pretty sick too!

im doing white! the SD trip put a toll on the GS im going to need bodywork before i planned and i might as well do a color change while im at it! i dont like to talk about it but under the hood its pretty nasty! =/

those chops look sick cuban! WHITE looks hard. did you try it in silver(same as the face?

[QUOTE=SuperiorConcepts;353851]those chops look sick cuban! WHITE looks hard. did you try it in silver(same as the face?[/QUOTE]

im definitely doing it white! the wife 'didnt have time' to do it in silver but heres what i used as a reference! i was also thinking about 2 tone! the only issue is that my hood is literally ziptied shut right now i will only be commuting to work in this until i find a shop that can do it! i have an appt on Friday with Platinum so lets see whats good.

reference pic for silver..

[IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5089240053_43cf504340_z.jpg[/IMG]

yeah out of those chops, i'm a fan of the white version. although black is just as hard. no homo

I am diggin the green, i would just paint the centers of the wheels to match. or maybe more of a in depth green like a tricoat or something

love the new wheels bro.. im feeling the white.

I'm diggin' the black or white the most...maybe even gold face on the black.

since i havent really had the time to take my own pics of the GS here are most of the pictures i found from the numerous AF VIP Fest coverages! enjoy.....

Do you plan on running pinstripes on the side? All white with black pinstriping would look dope:biggthumpup:

Light, light, light flat grey (like a cleared primer color) would be clean. Think same color as the brushed faces...

well i was thinking this or 'quartzo dolomite'.. but im not sure how it will look with the brushed faces on my wheels!

Lexus two tones have always reminded me of the early 90s two tone suits people wore. Then again its a early 90s car.. just doesnt have arm patches on its gray tweed jacket and mossy green trousers

[QUOTE=CubanGS;339857]ok i finally decided with a theme for the build! its going to be titled Scarface! and its going to be all blacked out! just like this... dont worry i wont be spray painting ANYTHING!! 

[IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4845033970_d0258a0b4d_b.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]

okay im sticking with my original idea! possibly a silver pinstripe on the sides that end in the name Scarface to match the brushed faces! i hate second guessing myself!!

that celsior needs more projectors in its headlights.

the cadillac sts they have projectors everywhere. like Bud and Bubba had so many in their assembly bins they had to add them to the headlights

[img]http://www.latestautoreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/2006-Cadillac-Sts.jpg[/img]

 even the marker light in the headlight is like a projector

escalade platinum has like 7 projectors a side....

[img]http://cdn-www.greencar.com/images/building-high-mpg-cars-a-priority/hella-cadillac-platinum-headlights.jpg[/img]

who cares about my POS anyways! someone change the title to "projectors" :smiley-rofl::smiley-rofl::shrug:

Sick progress so far... I say cocain white to match the scarface theme....

LOL only if you go by Cuban GoodingSenior

thanks for the input fellas!! i though i had posted this already but.. this is where she sits right now :sad: looking like a stray dog at a pound

[IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5176130014_9372e4faec_b.jpg[/IMG]

silver with black pinstripe would look nice...

As jah rule will say [SIZE=5]  MURDAAAAAAAAAA !! ALL BLK WILL BE KILLER [/SIZE]

satin white.

lol you guys are messing with me now! I'm sticking with the murdered out look! ALL black everything with the brushed faces and a silver pinstripe is going to be sick!

i think the silver pinstripe is key. will DEF. make the look.

I concur, this is gonna be the biz.

Remember jayz had all black gs too. In fact he uses them in his videos a lot. Even the 99 problems video had 1st gen wasn't black but still tight. 

If pull off right it will look just as sick as the ls.

Thanks again for all the feedback! In my opinion the smallest details make or break a build I'm just going to stick with my gut and hopefully it turns out like in my head!  As long as your having fun that's all that matters anyways!!!

yup!

i think you should keep it oem green man. or maybe a similar dark green/pearl moss.

great build thread so far broski..

Dammmm..platinum doin up ur car... Cant wait to see it done...they always got something up their sleeves... All there fender work is top notch and always flow with the car.....

always good to see progress. this is one of my favorates on the forum, keep up the good work.

thanks ^^^ 

heres some shyt from my blog..

"im not sure if i posted it before but the GS was bought for me by my wife while i was still deployed to Afghanistan. After several phone calls, emails, etc. we made a deal with the previous owner of the GS to deliver it to our house in SD. A couple of weeks pass by and thanks to god i made it back home safely to my family and the GS..... To make a long story short, closing the hood on the GS has always been a PITA! ive tried everything from zipties to god knows what to make it drivable, including driving the GS hood-less from SD to Seal Beach. Well after the trip to SD for the Autofashion VIP Fest the front end has had it! as you can see from the pics! the GS is literally Scarface! end rant...."

some more progress!

id go with the stripe, if you dont like it, you can always get rid of it. but really i think your car is perfect as is, i dont know that id change too much on it lol.

car is coming along nicely! congrats on the body work, even though it came i a little early.

i like the black with the stripe, but i say go ahead and go crazy with the stripe. i would love to see black on black done with low low influence.

Nice updates ! cant believe ive missed all this

Gonna be too tight black on black pinstriped:thumbsup::thumbsup:  No rush on the kit as low as your ride sits on 18's with clean body & paint your gonna be killing it already=)

well from the last time i was at the shop it had about an inch less of quarter panel.. the camber i have not seen in person yet!

Oh well it looks tight is all I know

[QUOTE=Kouki Monster;368498]Oh well it looks tight is all I know[/QUOTE]

Thanks! no moving the quarter panels out, no flares, no wide body! It makes my wheels look weak in the second pic can't wait to go see this in person tomorrow!

nice pic. i'll hav to roll through tomorrow too. what time you gonna go?

not sure yet! my wife started working part time on my days off so ima have both kids! my number is 619 341 8273.. im thinking about leaving long beach around 10 or 11 am!

so the only work performed was more camber? im confused, but it looks 10x better!

actually after my drive to and from the AF VIP FEST i discovered this is what was HIDDEN under the body panels! notice the angle of the front frame in the second pic!
