my 99 GLE...56K, no

it's pretty dirty, but here are some pics before, during and after my suspension install

before:

future plans: wheels and tires, probably 18x8 mesh wheels with Falken tires, MEVI, y-pipe, GReddy SP2, CAI, crystal clear corners, AE'd headlights, 300zx front brakes, custom lip kit, 350Z seats, supercharger maybe?

edit: better pics of the drop coming soon, when it's not 10PM in my garage at school

planning on getting red/clears soon, gonna keep the spoiler, and as far as the MEVI goes I want it because it's all my finances, and time, will allow, plus I'd really rather not get into the complexities of the 00VI install

but thanks, money is tight due to college, doin what I can when I can

Off to a good start. Looks good. I know exactly what you mean with college and funds. At least you have the 4x4 monster tame now. I am still trying to get out of the 4x4 class.

looks real good. I would hop on that red/clear mod soon. It's alot easier than you think, and you'll kick yourself if you wait a while. It's easy and best of all, it's free.

your car looks alot like mine. AWESOME!

I've got access to a milling machine and 3-D modeling at my school, and a friend who can do fiberglass, so I'm gonna make my own lip kit, maybe a few extra kits for sale depending on milling time.

18"x8" mesh wheels on Falkens coming soon, hopefully

by clean, I hope you mean the look, and not the car, because it's caked with the resedue of a construction project about 50 feet away from my garage, it needs a bath

some, it's basically gonna look similar to the Stillen kit, maybe a bit more VIP style, and the side skirts will be more linear on the bottom, no upward swoop thing, just need a bit more practice on Alias and this thing should start turning into a reality.

p.s. everyone: I may be constructing 5-10 custom lip kits sometime this upcoming spring or summer, let me know if you're interested.
