overall, not looking too shabby.
his car looks wayyyy better than NYwizards car. Both GS were meant to shows and to really standout, but automan's GS says it a little differently than NYwizard.
good work !

automan: are you and NYwizard related? your car and his car is the most overdone GS i've seen. I definately like yours better, perhaps coz of da lambo doors. Keep up the good work and good luck at the show scene.

i hate to say it b/c i know automan spent $$$ on this GS but i can't say i like it. frankly, i'm very surprised that several people here seem to like this type of styling. i though that the reaction would be very different.
i would never mod a GS for the sole purpose of winning at a car show - i think thats a complete waste of $$ and makes no financial sense.
mod it b/c you like how it looks on your car and makes you happy not for the sole reason of winning a $20 trophy at a show. it can be a consideration but shouldn't be the SOLE consideration;
automan, best of luck to you - we just have different modification styles.
Peace,

Alright guys normally I don't respond to negative comments because this is an opinion based forum and I like to see what everyone thinks about everyone elses cars and ideas. But here is the way I look at it all of the stuff that we do is overkill. I had my car modified like this because I think it looks good as a matter of fact I think it looks great. And so do the people who stop me in the parking lot or at the gas station. So do the people who I have absolutely nothing in common with that have me roll down my window at a stop light so that they can tell me that my car is beautiful. I have had the car back about 24 hours and I can't tell you how many people love it. They probably would not even notice most other cars because they look normal or stock or just like everyone else's. People from ages 8-80 love to look at my car. It was not a financial decision it wasn't to win a $20 trophy. This car is my $40,000 trophy and it makes me happy to drive it. Now as far as mods go some people go for speed and spend tons of money to make there cars go fast. Why do they do that when the speed limit is 55-65 MPH? Is that a waste of money too? Come on guys this is our hobby and there is no need to try to belittle people or act like because they like something different that they are beneath you or ghetto or anything like that. I guess we Lexus owners are supposed to be to classy to be different well I apologize for bringing down the neighborhoods property value. All I am trying to say is we all like different things some of us are a little more flashy than others but it doesn't mean we have any less class than anyone else. But of course I always thought that Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin had some pretty nice outfits most of the time.
