[W.I.P.] Lexus 2GS: Chassis

Body work almost done, now is time for chassis.
Being low is the most important aspect in the modding of your luxury sedan. The lower the better. If you are on air suspension, the goal should be to park on the ground or as close to it with the ride height being flush. On this car, I like the tucked look better but flush is always sick.
So, tucked rear and flush to the front fenders - that's what i want to do.

Kit includes stock and lowered steering knuckles and arms. I took the lowered ones, cut them off and changed wheel hubs to stock. I did it for stock brake discs, because stock and tuning brake discs has a different mounting to hubs. At the same time i increased angle for more camber.

Also i added spacers for front upper control arms and made a custom front lower control arms for shortened and angled steering knuckles.

I did the same in the rear suspension. Besides i shortened underframe (red line - stock height)

That's what i got

[Finished] Toyota Century: Interior completed

Interior completed

Main colors are Tamiya TS-67 and AS-11.
I added seat belts (material by KA Models), flocked flooring (light gray by KA Models), handmade wooden decal (created and printed by me). Scratchbuilt belt buckles, b-pillars, rear armrest, handles and latches on the door panels and some detailing stuff (air freshener, dvd screen, VipCar magazine, Accuair eLevel controller for air suspension)

[W.I.P.] Lexus 2GS: Body work

Making a custom bodykit
Front bumper

Rear bumper and shaved trunk

Headlights and fog lights projectors from clear sprues

Luxury Abstract pillars

Headlights and taillights are not fitted properly therefore i added epoxy putty to attaching point

One more problem with that kit, 19s wheels doesn't fit in stock arches/fenders and inner fenders
Minimum stock height

Fenders rolled with a slight pull to keep that stock body look. Don't like flares/duck lips on the GS.
Quarterpanel and inner fender

Now we have lowest possible height, all other dependent on custom suspension sets.
