Haha its all good bro had fun out there

^^ man this spaming sucks.... but the whip is dope how's the air lift suspension ride?

[QUOTE=Mattbeeezy;472424]^^ man this spaming sucks.... but the whip is dope how's the air lift suspension ride?[/QUOTE]

I was wondering what that was...

But so far the airlift suspension is great I love it I wont ever go back to coilovers. I think having airride is so much more convinient

Heres a link of the write up on the install and some more pics

Great work so far, happy to see another 430 on equips.

I love LS430, especially laid out.

those equips look good on any car, but your car makes those equips look good lol

these pics don't really show it but the fitment all around is spot on layed out. fender between the tire and lip action.

dope~!

those wheels are beautiful man

i appreciate all the compliments from everyone


[QUOTE=Mr.Doback;472520]Great work so far, happy to see another 430 on equips.[/QUOTE]

thanks bro i followed your build thread for a while, your car looked so good with these wheels and not to mention the suspension work you put in to make the wheels fit. I think your wheels were a little more aggressive though haha. So why did you decide to get rid of the car?


[QUOTE=OG;472659]these pics don't really show it but the fitment all around is spot on layed out. fender between the tire and lip action.[/QUOTE]

i was hoping i'd find a picture of the rear haha i should've took some

Care to share the wheel and tire specs?

Looks soo good! If I could afford a ucf3x I'd buy one.

Been following this build on Drews blog. Car came out great!!!

thanks fellas

[QUOTE=Bran808;473138]Care to share the wheel and tire specs?[/QUOTE]

19x9 and 19x11 225 on front and 265 on rear

Ask and you shall receive...looks damn good bruh damn good

Like the wheels.
Like the car.
Like the brakes.
Like the kit.
Like the integration of the L.E.D. strip into the front bumper.

But looking at the metal work on the quarter panel makes me think of a limp dick dude trying to bang a super model.
Sorry if my analogy is a bit out there, I watch allot of porn.

would like to see this in person sometime soon. looks great!

Very nice work, what bumper ia that molded to the factory?

boss!

thanks william for posting those pics havent been able to post updates due to being so busy with work

but there she is fresh out of the shop im really happy with how everything turned out kuddos to the guys a DORBRITZ DESIGNS for their amazing work

came out really nice!

holy crap thats nice!! i need to move 3hrs south so i can roll with you guys haha

Looks great man!!!! Care to share what rear bumper that is? I know the front is custom but I really like the simplicity of the rear bumper. Looking for something like that to go with a front bumper I have in mind.

fuckin game..

Rear bumper is a one-off aswell bro

Looks great! Made great progress very quickly. any plans to push the rear wheels out or do you prefer tuck?

sidenote: Sold the car because I really wanted a sporty car and after less than a year, I want a sedan again to daily...so I am browsing around at my options.

Thanks man and I've always liked the tuck look but im pretty sure ill get something more agressive later on

Damn man I was hoping that was not the case. I love the kit man it came out great, the whole car came out great man. I like the tuck look myself as well.

What are those LEDs in the bumper from? Car looks good man, well executed. I like the tuck too...

Love how the car turned out!  Not a fan of the fender work though, not digging that style but it is very popular.  Good job.  I'm still debating on those wheels for sale.  Hate to run a fat spacer.

Appreciate it man and yea some ppl like that style some ppl dont either way thanks for the love and yea thats the only thing about equips, you have to use spacers to clear bbk

how much are you trying to get out of your wheels man? hit me up with a PM :)

i thought you couldn't get any better with the equips but the new set looks great! i love the porsche LED integration, very OEM-like.

did you sell the equips?!?

Those LEDs look awesome man :biggthumpup:

Nice LS! Looking Smooth!

What part of Dallas are you in? I have a 04 UL on 20 inch traffic stars. I havent seen any VIP cars here in Dallas, would love to see your car sometime.

There's a small handful of us in Dallas scattered around Frisco, Carrollton, Dallas, Euless, McKinney, Plano.

just curious if the rear rotor hats double as the brake drum like the OE rotors? i would assume so but i've never seen them in aluminum before, unless it's just the color, or i'm mistaken altogether. good stuff!

it looks like there's a lip on the inside of rear rotor that could act as a drum. :shrug:

I love the rear quarters on the LS. This is what I want done for my GS so I can fit my 18x13s

[QUOTE=IIXtremeHansen;506209]Good progress, i'm just a little concerned about the quarter work. I'm sure you'll have more to come =)[/QUOTE]

not sure why the concern...

Im sure he means hes not a fan of the QP work

^as im not either tbh.  wheel/bbk/ride height combo is fire tho

It's understandable some people rather keep quarters as close to oem as possible.. I like the aggressive look but didnt want to go too crazy with it and when doing quarter/fender work like this I think keeping fender lines looks weird so I had them do away with fender lines all around...thats just my opinion though

Im trying to decide wether I want new wheels or not but if I decide to get different wheels im definitely going with something more aggressive

really nice car. I like the fender work on it.

Loving everything about this car!!!! Imo keep the rims there different style and your at pulls then off perfectly
