Hey Rom....what about painting the horizontal slats on the lower front bumper metallic too? Photoshop time!!

hahaha actually i thought about that. who takes the liberty in doing that for me?

btw, my gs4 (98) actually came stock with halogen headlights ONLY. hid was way too expensive back then. i put in 6000k hid kit for a while, but to do it right, i now changed it to oem hid headligh housing with hid bulbs. but 1 hour later i changed the bulbs to 6000k as well

I like the new lowering man, looks like you cranked her down a little bit! rear wheel looks nice! Question, since you purchased new headlights, do they have the green tint? I was having the SBP/Green headlight a while ago, but could not find a decent pic. its kinda cloudy in your pics, so its hard to guage.

rominl, your GS is looking really nice with the new mods. I was going to mention about my thoughts of the top part of the new grille, but it seems varcity64 and redgs4 already got that covered I do like how the silver part of the grille matches with your HREs, definitely a classy appearance

About taking better pics... you might want to adjust your camera next time so that your center of attention (e.g. your GS) stays at the center of the picture, not off to the side. Also, if you choose to take pics with your GS at a front quarter angle, turn your steering wheel so that your front wheel is better exposed to the camera. That displays a more agressive look too

looks good slammed man how negative is u'r camber? the 2tone and center of the grill looks good matching the wheels...as far as the pics, when u double click in the gallery they look much better, its cus they r compressed by cl that they look kinda weird , i usually in my pc shrink them down 2 size by 40 or 50% than post them in the gallery, than when linking the 2 the post double click the pic 2 get the one o shrunk that is still big ,they will b big and clear...the pics u posted r about 20% or so of its original size so that loses quality, were the pics taken in fine,super fine? also lots of shake in the camera like u couldn't hold still cus of the excitement , i know the feeling....congrats...
