Thank you. Good to be back.

I don't know about the tint. If I do it will be pretty light. The law loved to stop and say "Hi" with my GTO's windows tinted. I've been enjoying driving relaxed at night in my LS.

I have already started Your car has been my inspiration. I love the look. My 02 LSE spoiler should be delivered to the body shop today. My 18" SSR rims and tires should be here tomorrow (won't be on the car until Mar-Apr).

I will look into the Eibach springs, as long as the ride isn't too rough. I'll be picking up the K&N intake, Xcal2 (w custom tune), stainless brake lines(hate these mushy brakes), Magnaflow exhaust when it becomes available early next year, and hopefully retrofitting SAT radio to my stock NAV unit.

Am I on the right track?

Strapp, you got it lookin really good!!! what tires you running and size?? i know 18", but what are the other specs.

When you said your adding the K&N intake. Did you just get the filter AND LSK intake or jut the filter?

Thanks. I will be running Summitomo 245/40's on 18X8 SSR GT10's. I will be ordering the K&N Typhoon intake.

Cool, thanks. Sounds like you are on the right track to me. The Xcal and intake are the 2 biggest performance enhancers. The car handles like its on rails with lowering springs. With 18's I would do a Intrax kit to lower it a bit more to 1.75".

How is the ride quality with the Intrax springs? I need to get a ride in your car sometime.

The ride quality will be more of a factor in tire profile, not as much in the spring. The Intrax springs ride great. There is a difference in the stock tire vs. my 19" low profile tires though.

True...245/40's shouldn't be horrible.

not bad, I have 255/40's on back with 245/35 in front and the front does jolt a lot more on bumps.
