Guys, this is my friend Andrew's SH. IT IS NOT MINE. He isn't on this site but I just thought I'd post a few pics for some people who have never seen a combination like this or maybe wanted to add it to their gallery. My knowledge on his car is somewhat limited but I'll try to answer questions if you have them.
BTW: These look much better in hi-res. so add the .orig.jpg to the links if you'd like.
I know you guys will ask about the rims so...they are 17" Sparco NT-R's (that's the right name I think) in bronze. He's planning on getting 19's since he got the fender flares. His car has gone through a few transformations and after a QX4 hit him he decided to go aggressive and also got it resprayed an aftermarket white (it was white before). He has alot of engine goodies, JRSC waiting to be installed, and a pretty nice trunk install that's a little bit similar to mine, for those of you who have seen it. That's it I guess...just shoot me questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
i dunno. i appreciate all the work and money invested in the car but...
the lines of the car are all gone. i think some things that would look better are:
1)black widow wing
2)black widow side skits, these skirts look like buddy club and come up in the middle.
3)mold flares

Definately man...I'm in whenever you let me know.
Let me just say that I agree with alot of what was said about his lude. He had the clean look for awhile and then went aggressive. The car looks much better in person and although I prefer the clean look, it is by no means ugly or ricey IMO. I'll make sure he gets your compliments and comments. Keep 'em coming.
Nice ride but hmmmm...
1. rims to small for that type of kit.
2. he needs those other fenders, like the ones they show in the orange car on their site.
3. better wing.
hey what is he gonna do about a turn signal?
But that car is fugly and just screams "I am better than everyone."
Things I do not like:
A) Dual exhaust just looks bad on a Lude IMHO
B) Body kit, even though well done...just looks tacked on and ruins the smooth lines of the car...kind of screams PONTIAC
C) Wheels too small for fender flares...although you said he's changing it
I am a proponent of smooth, graceful Ludes...enhancing the original lines not changing them...sorry just MHO

I believe he wants to sell them now but just hasn't really found any takers. If you're serious PM me with your number or something and I'll ask him about it.
Groverz and Andre: Yeah...I totally agree about the wheels but I think he's getting C5 19's or something like that.
As I said...I too enjoy the clean look. I only have an OEM kit. He used to have just the 2" race springs and sparcos with just SH painted trim and it was gorgeous IMO. Now it looks aggressive, and I respect it and the work he put into it...its very nice but I definately wouldn't be able to pull it off. It does look MUCH better in person though. In these pics the car looks awkward and the wheels look like 15's. It is much more sleek in person and the wheels look bigger. I'm sure the 19's will look a smidge less "out of place" though.
