Definitely a hot car, like I said before you shall have a few EYES popping out at the show. Went to the DUB show here in Chicago this weekend not even one GS . I really think the wheels you have on the car right now don't flow with the car's new paint job . Personally the 01+ tails will the back end a nice smooth flow and will be a definite plus to your mod list just some .02 worth.

I kinda like my rims I like the thickness of the chrome and how they look when they are spinning. However since a pothole bent one of them on the inside I am looking for a possible replacement I like the Giovanna Genoa. Has anyone seen these on a GS? You know what would be ideal is if a sponsor thought my rims needed an upgrade and decided to give me a lifetime contract. How does one go about getting a sponsor anyway?

How much did the sub enclosure run you? If you don't mind..

The enclosure for the subs and amp cost $2500 and the one on the trunk lid with the tv in it cost $1500.

Automan, BIG PROPS on the custom paint and trunk. I'm not normally a fan of Lambo doors on a GS, but you made it work. Forget the gas station dude, you need to put that pretty lady of yours in cars shows!!! I like the Genoa's too. They would look much better on your car.

I'm thinking of entering my GS in the DUB show in Atlanta. How was the one in Chicago?

Not my personal taste but it does make an eye-catching show car. Since that seems to be the intention, you did a great job.

if it were me i would not put giovanna wheels on my car...i would look for something a little more exotic and hard to find...maybe some auto couture or even asanti wheels might look good. i just would hate to put a wheel on that car that is quite common...

the last thing you would wanna hear about your show car is "my cousin has those wheels" or "ive seen those on a ford explorer around town"....thats just my opinion...
