Bob,
Car looks seriously AWESOME!!!!!
Email me some higher res shots I can use as wallpaper man!!
The exhaust came out great, I still remember when we where at the exhaust shop hacking away at the rear bumper. Came out better then I ever expected.
Joe is truly an artist!!
Next time I am comming over you better pick me up in the GS from the airport, LOL!!!

Very Stunning......
Bob,
Like everyone else on here, by far the best exterior work on any GS around. That right there........ well let me get back to you while I clean myself up.
Great work, let me stop before I have to clean up again! All jokes aside best damn looking GS I've seen in a long while.

Awesome... not one negative comment yet! I'm digging the love from the CL community!
It's great to see the work is appreciated. It was definitely a struggle being without the car for so long, but I think the effort speaks for itself.
tmf2004 mentioned magazine exposure... way ahead of you there! I have another photo shoot coming up in a week; I will keep you posted on the particulars.
Here are a few more shots, per popular request:
I love how the wheels sit in the fenders. I finally got the wheel offset "perfect."
Here's a better shot of the offset. In this shot you can see just how much the fenders were stretched, especially the fronts. 4" lip on the rear - so deep you can't even see the face of the wheel in this shot.
I hope to get some rolling shots this weekend... the car seems to sit even lower when it's on the move, and the Zone 8s have nice "light catchers" machined into the surfaces that really sparkle when they're spinning. I guess it's time for me to finally buck-up for that new Nikon D200 soon... the old Sony DSC-V1 just isn't getting it any more.

EV ftw!!!
The best looking GS on earth! Hands down!
The most creative in terms of wheels (blue inners), face etc, carbon inlay, color scheme, tire offset (as you said, absolutely perfect), and dual muffler tips.
Just plain incredible. You have raised the bar to which the rest of us have to reach now.
Do you have any straight-on low shot of the rear to show the carbon and exhaust more clearly?
Do you have these shots in higher resolution? If you do, can you email them to me hameed at prudensconsulting dot com and I will link them up for you here for others to enjoy.
I need new wallpaper of the best looking GS ever!!!!!
I am gonna win the lottery tomorrow night and will make you an offer you can't refuse, and take this rolling work of art off your hands Bob!
I would love to get these three shots in high res:

Thanks Hameed, that means a lot!
I'll send you the hi-res shots, no problem. Here is the best shot I have of the rear of the car. I was really struggling with the late afternoon sun... I guess I should have taken more shots and used some lower angles and better close-ups.
And Hameed, this last shot is for you... I bought this a week before the car was hit last year. By the time the car was finished and I installed it, the model had changed from the AVIC-D1 to the AVIC-D2. I did the trick little mods to it and I love the unit.
