Well, I really wanted the WW 3 piece spoiler, which I still have the one shipped, I just need someone with a clue on body work to sand out the warps and whatnot (project for later)....

In the meantime I got the lip spoiler, even came pained and matched the Silver Birch perfectly.

Sorry my car is really dirty, its been raining off and on for 2 weeks here in MN. (after looking at it, nevermind.. my camera is too crappy and you can't tell :D)

My drive way is almost to steep I have to crawl in and out.

Yea I have to attack my driveway, one corner @ a time to avoid scraping. Good times.


BTW spoiler looks good, Is it one of those eBay ones that come painted?
 
Looks good. The trunk looks naked with nothing on it. I like the gen1 lse though. Ever think about it?
 
Yes its one of the really cheap ebay ones :D (couldn't be happier for less than $60)

I love the Gen1 LSE Alax, just don't want to pay for it lol. Almost as much as a Gen2 LSE front bumper. (which I will buy eventually)
 
Yeah, the price isn't pretty but once you have it you forget about how much you paid.

How much has your ls dropped with the eibachs? Looks nice.
 
I honestly don't know how much its dropped, I wish I'd measured it. I'd say more than the 1.0 Front and 1.1 Rear that Eibach advertises. I was worried about the ride, but I also honestly can't really tell as far as comfort. Now handling I do notice a difference, its MUCH better. I read somewhere that they changed something for 2003 suspension, either springs or shocks. It always seemed to have an anoying bounce or just something that didn't feel stable at higher speeds and corners. Now it just feels glued to the road. 18's didn't take away anything either, just seemed to make it better.
 
Looks great- the car, spoiler, wheels.
Your car is actually the only one that i like the E39 M5 style spoiler on. Could be the color.
 
I would like some opinions, I think I'm going to add painted eyelids or just mask and tape the area off then paint it, but what do you think? I should probably waste another thread since this one has probably run its course but oh well.

Don't mind my crappy MS Paint skills.

18s, lowered, spoiler, I dont think it's a classy look anymore. But I could be wrong. It does depend what you're going for. I like sporty over just classy, thats why I went over to gen1 wheels instead of my chrome 8 spokes.
 
+1. I like sporty look better too. I also prefer the eyelids. If you are going to do it, make sure you do get the ones from lsk, and paint them to match. If you just paint the headlight, it looks off because it doesn't add the right depth.

How do you like it? How was the end of winter for you? Now I'm for sure lowering my car cause we have identical cars and that looks sweet! Spoiler looks sweet and Alax7 tisk tisk

I love all of it, the ride, the handling, the look especially. As for the winter driving... I have no idea, it was a garage queen except for taking it to the body shop to have the ground effects painted. I drove the Suburban all winter. The only reason it could cause a problem is if your driving in snow deep enough to hit the front bumper or drag on the bottom of the car. It will be easier to get high centered for sure. If you say on plowed streets then you'll be fine.

As far as the eyelids and overall look of my car, I'm biased towards the sporty look of things, I think it creates or defines the line from the dark section of the grille into the headlights with the eyelid. I will most likey get the LSK eyelids and paint them, for the depth issue you mentioned Pektel.

Hey Alax, still have those carbon fiber ones for sale ;)
 
I like it. Not the biggest fan of the lip spoilers usually but it looks good. Like was said could be the color.

Do get the eyelids. They looks horrible IMHO. Not nearly as bad on a gen1 but please just say no.

It's actually the structure of the car (the body lines) that make the LS classy. Switching things up a bit will help with the sporty look(if that's what you are going for), but overall you are not changing much.
Your car looks very sporty now with the mods you have. Park next to a 5 series Bimmer and you will be surprised how classy yours still is.

I remember seeing pics of your car a while back, with the chrome 8 spokes and i think it looked very sharp. We all have different tastes, so you are right about it coming down to our preferences.

Silver, sorry for rerouting your thread.

Oh don't be sorry, I asked for opinions. I wish the stocker 8 spokes were 18's, they did look nice.

Sorry, LEOV5 picked them up.

I kinda have reg ones though. I painted them my color and a piece of tape caught the edge of it right before putting them on and when I took it off it ripped some paint with it. I dont think they prepped it at all, just painted on it or maybe it was just me being careless. I tried painting it with some touch up paint but that failed. I will prob order a new pair to get painted. I was planning on ordering some paint for my car online and experimenting on the ones I have but if you want them I'll let you have them for 10 bucks plus shipping.
 
so did the ebay seller paint it for you? I might get one, that's pretty cheap. I don't like the huge wing so this is right up my alley.
 
Yea thats the one, sorry I didn't reply, I was working in the yard all day.

Thats weird.. When I click on the link it shows my actual auction...
