Continental GT is one of my faves. Not a big fan of white but it definitely stands out. The big HRE 9 series wheels helps out a lot too.
Simply beautiful. You get everything in the GT. Luxury, power, sport, interior top notch and I believe they're pretty reliable. Again, simply beautiful.

A few "After" pics
The SL tuning bug didn't leave me, just switched rides for the time being.
Here's a few pics of my GT after...
GIAC ECM Upgrade - 647 HP, 684 TQ
H&R Electronic Lowering Module
K40 Radar System
Mansory Decklid Spoiler
Chromed Lower Grills

Man, that car is just plain SICK!!!
Hottest Continental GT I've seen to date. I would have scoffed at the mention of a white Conti GT before, but your car is just nuts.
What size tire and rims are those?

The module does take into account that the car has two "at speed" lowering points at 80 and 130 mph — it adjusts for them accordingly. The suspension height adjustment also functions normally, as well. The most recent pics are of the car at the lowest setting.
I love the look with the lowering module, but being able to raise the car to its maximum setting is very important to me.

With the module, the "high" position now seems to be about the same as the "normal" position, pre-module.
