Default GS year in review with new pix







So i purchased my car just about a year ago. Slowly and surely have been modding it to how it sits today. My goal was to be one of the first VIP'd cars in the northwest and to show another aspect of tuning which wasnt showcased much up here before. I recently entered my third show which happened to be HIN seattle, and i was suprised to walked away with Hottest VIP Japan runner up. I was surprised to win anything because i never go in expecting to win anything, i just have the satisfaction of people telling me that they like the way my car looks. It's sure come along way and still has a lot more modding to be done to it. constructive criticism would be great. what do you guys think my next mods should be?
hopefully ill get more pix. depends if i can find anyone who took a pic of my car at HIN.

Recent mods since photoshoot
SRT intake (thanks boosted_gs)
Custom molded LED turn mirrors
CF rear license plate garnish (color matched)
10th anniversary black chrome aristo grill


Future mods:
the sky's the limit

Cars looking really good.

One mod you may want to consider are clear side markers, and I've always been a fan of the led side skirt lights. Ecspecially on VIP style cars.

But those are minor mods, the car looks killer as is.

Very very clean and its really coming along. Congrats on the award aswell. When I see year in review threads I guess I expect pics of the process of your mods as they were added. Oh by the way great pics and great location...

Your car is one of my favorite GS's out there. It inspires me to make my white GS look that good.
