    As above, nice and clean and good work removing the kit. Did you also swap the Altezza lights?

    My personal opinion is the factory Calais ones, slightly darker than normal + legal unlike the fully grey ones (no red reflectors)

    Looks good without the rubber surrounds, if you're going to do chasers, then you need white walls (flappers).
    Also needs more low. Shortened shocks and superlows all round would be the best.

    As low as mine. 2 inches from standard, I think.
    It's recommended you get shorter shocks.

    Nice pickup. Not many Calais getting around with full leather seats in them and even less that are in that good of a condition. For $400, that's basically a steal.
