DO NOT ADD CHROME, those who know the car will only laugh at you, like a 300 with stock rims, chrome pillars, door handles, gas cap ...

its like did you buy your car at carmax, or autozone ...

if it was my car, get another set of racier, tuner looking 20's kind of like montewithanls4's ... drop it, tint the windows and drive it like it is ...

as alabamaguy said, make sure you can put it back to normal, because its a for sure possibility with GM cars, that rare, that someday they will be worth money

look at cars with a stock 409 in it nowadays ... ( granted, an LS4 isnt an 409, but you get the point )

Again, I agree that all LS4's were unique and the "last of their breed". If I were to pick 1 out of the 4 (MCSS, IMPSS, LaX, GXP) for collectibility it would be the GXP. Mostly because of the sportiness that it represents and the "fallen badge". The only late model Buick that was ever collectible would be the GN/GNX.

It's hard to ponder if the Super will ever reach that status because no-one knows it even exists.

I would sell it. Its obviously not what YOU want. It has to be worth something with how "rare" it is.

I love those Buicks and the LaCrosse's, especially in that silver. Its such a clean sleek sophisticated looking car.

Default Pimp (un-Pimp?) my Buick!

I literally just made an account to plead with you not to screw with this car too much. Now look at mine original with 35k miles...

I get that these ls4 powered cars are low production and kinda rare, however as time goes on these cars will get lost in the shuffle. Look around car manufacturers are pumping out silly high horsepower cars and trucks everyday. Mod them the way you want, it's not like there gonna like a GNX down the road. Just my 2 cents..

Dechromed now. Moldings and door handles painted to match body and grille/ports gloss black. How Buick should have done it.

What did you use to lower the LaX? I just got a 2013 from my Dad and am looking at new 20" along with lowering but have not found anything in springs for this model to drop it.
