Great pics! What sort of VW is that in the first series? It sure looks like it has some serious flares molded in - is that stock??

Seriously Austin, amazing photos.

[turboale]

Thanks for the compliments fellas! I really need a polarizer for sooting on the trail during the day but I"m pretty happy with the way these tuned out.

Cebby,
Its a 03 (I think) GLI which to my knowledge didn't have any exterior mods from the factory. The rear wheels do have spacers in them to stick them out a bit and he does have a different front bumper but other than that I don't think there was anything done to the fenders. Though, I must say... it does look rather wide in those pictures!

Bama,
I have never had any problems with my server...? Still not working? Try a refresh...

While I will give you Lexus has a much better flagship model than Infiniti, Infiniti has been working on their Q45 replacement and it should be here within a year or so. Should be interesting to say the least. The M has been consumer reports highest rated car 4 years in a row... Lexus does make a solid product but honestly their cars are pretty bland apart from the IS which is sort-of unique but (again, IMHO) doesn't hold up against the G. Their mid-range vehicles have slacked off a bit... I sat in a new GS the other day and was throughly unimpressed. Not only did it have horrible head room, but also was boring and too plain looking for me. I honestly like the older GS body style much better.

More picture whoring, finally got some rolling shots of the M...
