Rom -
This grill is really growing on me...I wanted something like the Netz type 1 w/ horizontal slats to match the front bumper horizontal slats....and this DSR meets that requirement.....plus, its unique cuz it seems like the majority of CL members either got the Ltuned, RMM, or TRD styled grills.
After staring at this DSR grill....I swear its exactly the same as the AbFlug grill. LOL!!! Check your grill....does it have an imprint that says "AbFlug" on the backside of it? Just joking!!!
Do you know if there are any differences between the two? Thickness or angle of the horizontal slats? Fitment? etc...?
I see that AbFlug sells their grill (non-CF) for a reasonble price...about $230...based on current exchange rates. What kind of pricing is the DSR grill (non-CF) likely to be?
If its reasonable....it'll be worth having mutiple grills to flip/flop back and forth.

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.

no i didn't get the green tint one, i don't really like it. i get the dark chrome one instead, that's the best looking one imho

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

thanks for the tips too, i agree about the wheel part. about the center of attention, that's my delima. i did that before, but people told me it's very boring. to take better pics, and most pros do, the center of attention would fall in the 1/3 portion of the pic, specially if you have scenic view. either case, continue to learn

my camber isn't too bad, even the car is THIS low, my camber is like maybe 0.5 degree out of spec? i still have to worry about uneven wear, but it's not like the tires will die tomorrow.
plus i have the perelli nero, so at least i can rotote the tires side by side
