Couple of updates here. Front and rear fenders are on and attached to the body.



Quick peak under the fenders. So much more room for wheel and tire when it gets slammed.



New lip attached as well.



Going in the booth soon for paint and then on to the mechanic for the air suspension. I hope to have it on the road by mid June.

Getting real close now, car will be primed this week, paint next week. Another week or so to wet sand and get rid of any orange peel and then get ceramic coated to protect that nice black paint. I hope to get it back before the end of June. Suspension in July and on the road I hope!

5 months later, car is out of the shop. S9 fenders, Ganador Super Mirrors, WALD Sportline kit and the 19" Work Kiwami wheels. It will be going straight back into the shop for air suspension and suspension tuning to get fitment dialed in.

Couple more photos. I really like the Work Kiwami wheels, they fit this build very well I think



The S9 fenders come out really nicely. They flow with the lines of the GS



I think I will go wider in the rear, when I get the suspension dialed in, it might tuck too much in the rear but we'll see

I've been eyeing that for a while. the LS400 calipers look tiny inside those wheels. I wonder how much the entire kit would cost? LS460 calipers, bracket and ISF rotors I think?
