New Member Needing Variety Of Assistance

Hey guys,
I'm new to the VIP Styling of cars, just coming off of the honda scene and well beyond it, I was just able to get ride of a few of my vehicles in a trade for my burgandy ls400. I live in Orange County, Socal. It's currently running on air cylinders (horrible ride), but the previous owner also had UAS Aero bags, so currently i'm saving up to buy KYB shocks & looking for top mounts so I can run bags again, cause the guys at Universal Air told me to get top mounts when putting on bags cause you get an additional 1" drop (any ideas of what type mounts to use & cheap from the pocket?), and looks like the previous owner used stock prior. The wheels are Veilside Andrew Racing 18's and I also need some help w/ the stance as you can tell, I want to widen out w/ some decent camber(what size spacers & best to use?) but not super crazy where i'm buying tires every month. Not planning on purchasing rims for a while, so I want to make best with what I got to work with. I recently purchased the junction produce front bumper to match up w/ the sides and the rear, i'm getting rid of the nasty wing, and want to go conservative w/ just a anceltion trunk lip & roof spoiler (what you guys think? I know it's against the whole matching kit, but I love the two parts). Any suggestions & ideas are welcome, but please hold back on the hating comments, just trying to make this car as dope as I can :thumbsup:

Nice ride..... not bad at all!!! Welcome to the board, enjoy your stay here! I love how everything just works, maybe it's just me but I like the wing personally and I would vote to keep it! Well like me you need some help in the "flush-to-the-fender" department and spacers like you mentioned would be ideal in that situation if you aren't thinking of getting new wheels, also I would probably swap the badges out for the JDM badges. That's my help for now, welcome!!!

WOW nice car and welcom...I agree with them as well..loose that wing and add some spacers and camber...will make it look more PIMP!

Nice to see a newbie with an actual VIP car to start out with for a change.

That car is sick!

I do have mixed feelings on the whale tail wing, it looks good from the first pic ( helps compliment that snow plow lip..:biggthumpup: ) but then the second just makes it look funny..lol funny. I guess if it was fuller or thick in figure in the rear it would be nice.

Good Luck I'm sure it will turn out dope!

More suggestions guys, keep em comin :biggthumpup: what size spacers should I run for the fronts & rears? I want the spacers that don't require to get extended wheels studs, I want the ones that already have the bolts attached. And how do I get more camber? Do i have to go to an allignment shop so they can camber it out more, or are there special plates?
