Well, I was at my parent's house doing some work with my father and my mother decides to back up into my GS. The irony is that I just got it registered today, and fully paid it off this past weekend.

I really wanted the body to be the last thing I modified on the car, but since I need a new front bumper and driver side fender I might as well modify the body since it needs to be replaced.

I know there are alot of threads on bodykits, but really want some opinions from those who have dealt with body kits and aware of the different stylings.


I'm thinking for something sporty, but not too aggressive. My vision is to basically build the M5 of GS's, which several others have done, such as FlashGordon. My focus in the future will be predominantly on drivetrain and engine work. While the body is important, I don't want it to be the dominating factor.

Something sleek and sporty, and looks unique, but has more of an OEM flare, then aftermarket. Thoughts are appreciated fellas. Money is not a major concern at the moment.

If you are going FI down the road, find a front that will show/fit a decent size intercooler...

Thats an interesting thought. FI is down the road, however, I would prefer the sleeper look as opposed to showing off the IC. I do understand that the IC needs to have the least amount of interference for proper airflow, however I would prefer something that would conceal it a little better to say the Veilside front bumper.

sporty? Vertex!

The Vertex is a little too aggressive for me. Screams a little loud. I looked through the BodyKit index in the 2GS Sticky threads and nothing really called out to me.


I guess the most aggressive I would go with his a Veilside V1 front bumper, not the executive.

I'm also thinking along the lines of the Amagain.... I know its not that sporty, but it definitely has the OEM feel to it.

The reason why I'm starting this thread fellas, is my eyes are bleeding with the body kits I have looked at...... just looking for some different thoughts for all you out there. Thanks for everyone's thoughts!

I say go with a TTE front lip, L-tuned sides and the RMM rear bumper.

Fellas,

Much appreciated! Keep it up! The Veilside does look good on the blue GS3 up above....
