What wheel tire sizes are you using? Any lowering of the car?

Sorry for all the questions!

I still love the pics everytime I look at them. Only thing you need to do, is get that black trim repainted. You can see the black on it is faded and the chrome is starting to come through.

Only two small spots in the headlight bucket were fixed. It used to have headlight covers and when they were removed some paint came with them Paint is not that old so it really is that shiny.

The back could stand to come down an inch, but the front is damn near perfect in the original.

Here is another one from last weekend.

The one thing that I dont like about the S130 is the look of the back of the car. Because of this, I typically dont take too many shots showing it... However, I took one this past weekend that makes that back look pretty good.

Photo links to my Flickr site where you can comment, view full size, or view the rest of my images.

Solid color cars... as in like the bumpers and trim painted the color of the car?

Definately to each his own... however I am the opposite, I feel the painted bumpers give the car a more updated, sleek look.

Thanks!

I never really appreciated how clean it actually was until I started making it the subject of my photography. I have always preferred the look of the S30 and felt the S130 was its ugly cousin. Now I see it the other way around!

It is the original dash, the car only has 78k original miles on it.

ok... maybe that was a bit harsh. But if taken care of, S130's dont have to be ugly!
