In my opinion the only flaw in the 2GS body is the weak lines of the front bumper. I've been debating the lip selection since I bought the car and finally pulled the trigger on the Greddy. Had a friend paint it and I installed myself.

Please enjoy the pics, the weather was beautiful this weekend so I cleaned the old girl up and shot a few.

The GS looks great Agreed, the front bumper section is weak considering the GS's decent performance. Something more is needed up there.

congrats on the lip upgrade It looks really nice, definitely flows well. I like the greddy a lot , but worry about the scraping I'd end up doing on driveways and such. But it definitely looks sweet. Congrats again

I'm really liking those wheels. They totally update the look of the car.

i guessed the same thing on the wheels. Car looks very good and clean.. The Greddy looks good. Definitely don't want to go any lower for scrapping reasons.. IMO it looks great..
