There's a guy from NYC getting his white GL done (Maybe you know him) at my local customizer and he's putting over $15k of electronics in his GL...satallite tv dish on roof, motorized monitors, mobile computer with internet access and wireless keyboards/mouse/headphones, DVD, cameras, game consoles, satellite radio, touch screen everything, alpine bluetooth, alpine remote control station, etc. Gonna take some pics of it this weekend...should be delivered back to the guy on Monday. He's got everything except for exterior mods...excluding the roof satellite dish.

great....i wish i would have won a prize for guessing correctly! Does the module alter the ride quality and can you still lift it back to stock and higher than stock?

when its on the lowest setting you feel the dips in the road a bit more..but nothing too bad..and the ride quality with the 22s is excellent..and yes i can put it back to stock or a lil higher if i want to...and it still uses the stock button on the dash to do the lowering/raising

Custom Lifestyles by Action Tire: Automotive Couture (Lodi, NJ)...I'm not sponsored (yet) but Allen from actiontire.com gives me great deals and takes care of my ride when I get work done on the Melcedes.

Do you have any low front and rear photo's of GL Unit? Looks nice. I miss my lowrider sport truck so this would be a great mod for me.

Just to chime in, the lowering module worked out great for what Cathy wanted, fully adjustable, good ride, ect. For the design of the wheel she ordered we felt they would look much better with a lower stance.

For pricing and info on her set up (wheels, lowering) email stefan@d2autosport.com

BTW I think this is going to be the first modded GL in a magazine.
Congrats Cathy
