I think it looks great. Nice to see a GS that looks different than the rest and still looks good. Nice work, nice car.

I really like the modded stock bumper, instead of possibly adding more weight you've removed it and looks fantastic.

The quality of work is awesome. I like the big square opening, function is indeed more important, but looks is a close second. Have you considered painting the mesh of your grill white? The head on shot does look a little odd. I think it is because the grill shape and the bumper opening shape are so different. Just my 2 cents.
I would love my GS to be white with teeth!! Nice car bro.

Ricky....I guess you did go custom as I suggested.

Looks very hot....one of a kind.

I think it looks amazing as far as quailty of workmanship. Like Cody said, maybe a "little too square" but awesome and unique.

I agree a little too square but the FMIC makes up for it!
Maybe a bigger mouth would do it?

Came out nice Ricky, I agree with you on making it taper the edges, overall

Oh, I like the HKS Kansai hood
