02 S500 with Lorinser Body and ongoing upgrades:

Well, I was bored today and took pictures of my brother car before it went into the shop. He had his tail light change to the 03 and different rims. His headlight and grill is coming Thursday, so the package will be complete by then.

This is the before pictures, took earlier today. Will post up more tomorrow when it stop raining.














Also, the 02 headlights, taillights and the 21" Lowenhart LD1 rims are forsale.
New rims is 20" Giovanni forgot the type, with all black and chrome rounding.

Quick Preview of the new Look, before my camera ran out of battery.


What do you think?

Yeah, the rims are going. Once the headlights and grill are install, every grill be be painted black. So it's an all black car.

That's how it looks stock. Got to love the height rise/lower button. Best bet is to go with 20" rims, so they don't rub when turning.
