Nothing wrong with that mang, especially for a student. I think the 17s are a nice intermediate look anyway! I hated my 16s so bad, that I bought some 17s!!! I guess there could be worse things than having 3 sets of rims!! LOL

I guess pic should be your mental finish line eh?? Good luck and good job so far!!

Mental finish line until I get some more money Good eye D
Also, D, I was thinking of the JDM front spoiler instead of TTE -- but whatever comes my way I'll take
Rear garnish looks great as well!

Ant -- I feel ya

I've got the eye of the tiger!!

IMO the TTE has claner look to it, and integrates with the front bumper like it came from the factory that way!! The JDM front has too much "curve" to it, IMO (no offense to those who have it). I think TTE, LTuned, JDMrear will be a good, cost effective solution!! There you have it, happy modding

Brendan the car is coming along very nicely. You are like me slowly but surely. The sides are a very nice compliment to the car though. Happy modding!

Whos car is that? Hameed? Look nice all it needs is as et of HREs that should be here in some time.
Have fun modding Brendin it looks nice so far. Just remember it takes time to have a great modded GS. Just look at TTurbopimp Manaray Rominl and all the rest of the heavily modded GS's perfection comes with patience and time. Just keep saving up

No, although the Greddy is pretty deep, it pretty much maintains a straight lower character line across the bottom. The JDM starts low on the sides, then curves up in the, always reminds me of a person holding their top lip open with their finger! LOL

See what I mean?

That black GS is sweet. I agree that the TTE lip looks better than the JDM one, thats why i got it. Does anyone know if Carson sells the JDM sides and rear bumper and whats the price?...... I really like that kit.

I know I have seen it on the Carson site before, and in the old post that I took those pics from, Manaray quoted it at 1715.00 painted White/Black/Silver. That included the front/rear spoiler, and side skirts, just to give an idea.

The post was 1-2yrs old!!
