Finally got around to snapping some pics of the new cosmetics...finally got the kit and roof spoiler installed.
new additions:
RMM Kit w/ DSR Grill
Junction Produce Roof Spoiler
Explosion 3 piece wing
- still a couple things waiting for install since the body shop took longer than expected with this round.

Looks tight, but not a fan of the L on the hood. Just my $.02.

Very nice! Just need some brakes to fill out those wide open spaces in the wheels. And some new tails. Gotta agree with ivesGS400, though, the L on the hood just does not look right.

Awesome looking car! Unfortunately, the combo of that particular grille and the L on the hood make me think of an ES.

I have to go with Lettuce on this one, i do kind of like the "L" on the hood. Don't know if i would do it personally, but i do like it on your ride. PS Love the kit, the DSR grill looks awesome and the wing and roof spoiler! I just love the whole combonation i guess! lol

i didn't think the "L" would spark so many comments. (ha ha) yes, it's a little different. it took a while to grow on me but i like it. some cleared tails, the brake mods, and a few other things are sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. =)
thanks for the comments and compliments...

Hey Joe, its looking very nice! Lookin' forward to seein' you at EOS, you're still comin' , right? Maybe we should caravan? My daughter will probably bring the SC as well. We could put her in the middle and have a white SC sandwiched by two black GS's. Like an oreo in a manner of speaking. Hey, if your lookin' for someplace local to install those remaining items, give L.C. a holler. He did a nice job on the steering and suspension for the SC and then last week he did the GS's X-cross drilled rotors, Metal Master pads and braided stainless steel brake lines. He threw in painting the calipers for free!

Fantastic! I love the L emblem on the hood. It's definitely different. I saw some dudes over at Club Aristo also sporting them.... Very nice!
