Hello to everyone first off. I got this baby bout a year ago as a gift from my folks. It was just sitting in their garage not being used (it only has 27000 miles on it). Haven't done much to it but that's about to change. Just picked up some new shoes for her yesterday. Plans are to keep it as clean as possible. Not going to go overboard with it. Will definitely keep you guys posted as progress is made.

looks clean already with just the wheels on, and trust me you will find lots of stuff to mod if you sit on LVC too long, Welcome to LVC.
 
welcome, looks clean but from that angle the wheels look like they stick out
 
Thx everyone for the welcome. Bearsfan39 (assuming chicago fan. Da Bears!) Its just the angle of the pick and the tires are slightly thinner than the rims but they are just an hair past flush with the fenders. Going to drop it and that will help big time visual department. Hey anybody know how to repair silght curb rash on chrome lips (didn't even have the rims for an hour and already hit the curb)?
 
well i got a lil bit done to it yesterday. real simple stuff like new HID (look-a-like) headlights and LED over the license plate. Also made a mesh grill with some aluminum mesh i had laying around. turned out alright.

its not perfect but looks fine for now. one of the edges kinked up when i was putting it all back together so i will have to fix that. other than that i think it came out pretty good
 
Personally i would take it off and rock the oem grille untill you can get something better.
 
That grille looks like some trailer trash sh!t lmao (not that anyone is automatically trash for living in a trailer and no offensive to the OP, it was a valiant effort on his part). Definitely toss it right in the garbage and rock the OEM grille.
 
Yeah agreed. I think im going to try to hunt down a better grill. The more I look at it the less I like it

ahhh gotcha, what size are the wheels? 20s? if so can't really do more the eibachs

oh and yes... im from chicago....
 
Bearsfan, those are 20s. I also saw some Sprint springs that give a lil more drop. Anyone know what the ride quality is those springs?
 
Welcome.:W 27,000 miles. Wow. Got to love that.

Hate the grille. For now, I would paint the center of the grill. The same color as the LS. Its cheap simple and will give a very clean look to it. Tint the windows. Maybe a Mach 1 front lip. LSE or BMW M5 lip spoiler.
 
i would see if you have the two piece grille, then if you really want a mesh grille, remove the factory waterfall, and maybe try a heavier mesh.

Sprint springs arent made anymore and with 20's you will have a hard driving.

yea sprint springs give more of a drop, but you probably wont be able to keep the 20s
