My opinion is that Gt-7's are too sporty on the GS. You can do better-in terms of classy rims.

I belive that he has to make some addition, still think GT-7 are great to start with tho.......
If he choose wrong e.g/ body kit, all kind of lips, spoilers................it won't flow with car never design to be performance we all want.

I think it got to be lil'bit more agressive, however i do not prefer most of body kits avalible but that's me,..anyway used2 owned '94 SC4, now i have a full picture how- much easier is... built SC compering to GS

BTW, do you think that putting GT's on GS is like having chrome's on SC?

Trust me let him go.... He got mod bug, he'll figure it out


Every one of us want his own car to be unique, right? Most of our cars don't look alike anymore.

Every litlle item makes diffrence for you more.. to me less, is all about taste

225/35's up front and 235/35's on the rear.All I did was lower the car with daizen springs and l-tuned shocks.I rolled the rear fender but thats it ! Funny thing, I can still add a 5mm spacer on the rear and front.I don't rub at all and can turn lock to lock but the tires are small.I am planning on going with a dish style wheel next, we'll see.

Not too crazy IMO, he was just not afraid to break the from norm.

Hey BustN, 9s and 10s with offsets in the teen's for your next trick.

If they ever get off of backorder.

I would do 20x8.5 +20 up front and 20x10 +30 in the back.I will add a 5mm spacer in the rear to help it out a lil'. Let's see what happens.
