I ordered my RacingHart with +44 front and +45 rear. That's the GS offset. If you want the big lip in the front, you might need to order 9" for the front.

Jacob - Will those offsets give me a larger lip in the rear? Do you have some pics of your car with a rear shot and side? If so, could you e-mail me some at gsmike400@hotmail.com. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Mike

I think Lsportline looks better than RMM body kits, at least on the front, but RMM actually has a lot of potential to be customized. like what Martin did to HIS GS. Both kits are great, considering the poly urthrane material, just that i can't go with RMM's plain front bumper = P
Lsportline fits very nice, and good quality, I luv it every single moment once i have it. it's a bit more pricy tho
= P

...After having a less than great conversation with some of the people over at RMM, I have decided NOT to go with their kit...as a matter of fact, I don't think I'll be buying ANYTHING from them...

I've also been entertaining another idea...the Esprit or Explosion kit with PIAA HID Foglights...since they're low, they shouldn't bother oncoming traffic...Eh, I dunno...the only thing that bugs about both kits is that they has a HUGE opening with no mesh...and since I don't have a innercooler yet, it'll look rather silly....I guess I could put a FAKE ONE THERE or I could just do up my own mesh (black of course)

I suppose I could stick to my original plan on do the Wise Sport kit...or a Quest Power kit...or...damn, no wonder why I don't have a body kit yet!

Manaray? Where can some nice mesh be purchased? I have the L-sportline grille and I really like it. It is all black, and after seeing how the TRD looked, I figured I would switch to the Silver mesh. I think it is really complimented by the way our headlights look.(it would also match our lights nicely) I checked Home Depot first, thinking certainly they would have a good selection of that type of mesh. They have NOTHING even close.(unless you wouldnt mind fabricating a rain gutter cover..hahaha)
I could just paint the existing mesh. But, what type of paint would give that "rubbery smooth" feel that the L-sportline mesh is covered in? Can you give me the name of the type of paint? Preferably from a can.
Thanks, Tiny

Actually, I don't know where to get the mesh...I have some buddies that own bodyshops and they get all kinds of mesh...never asked where (never had a need)...

I've also see "laser cut" mesh too...kinda looks like sheet metal with ovals cut out of it (very small ovals of course)...I think Brabus uses that type of mesh....looks pretty cool...
