If anyone is buying yards of any fabric like gucci or lv or burberry its not real.

Of course you can take apart bags. But most will not do that.

The install is quality, that is certain. I was never and never will be a fan of LV and think the design patterns resemble a couch from the 70's. Not hating at all, just my opinion. I would rather have tossed that 9k into a quality turbo setup or air suspension and custom trunk. But I am a bit biased to I'll just leave it at that.

I like the reverse trunk flip, I've seen it on Maximas, its pretty easy to fab up if i recall correctly.

GL with your car, I'm sure your pulling PLENTY of brizzles...

Please post up a current pic, you said your recent mods were:

Chrome side pillar
Chrome air vents (functional, non functional?)
Chrome grill

I'd be interested to see how everything came together.

(you have no tints but a $9k+ interior, you're a brave man)

hi =) .. lol.. let me get home im at work right now and the gs is at home, o air vents are fully functional and tints, well im not a big fan of having my car tinted like my brother says "whats the purpose of having a nice expensive interior if you're gonna be hidding it and dont show it off" besides here in south central LA tints = cops pulling you over very often and i to be honest my license is suspended and driving unlicensed and trust me getting your GS impounded 3 times feels nasty and expensive at $1800 a ticket =/ but then again i sometimes wonder why i got pulled over the last time

^^Wow, just wow. I'm not just talking about the picture, I'm talking about the whole post. Money will never buy you taste, or your license for that matter. The interior looks hideous and I don't care if it's a "clean install", it's just plain tacky.

Agree. We've had GSs like this on here before. I would never do that to any vehicle but what can I say..


He's in Cali (ducks and hides)

I don't think it's "ghetto" man; matter fact I kinda like it but then again I'm afraid of tan leather. It may not be the authentic real deal as another member said but look at all the knock off Prada and Louis Vuitton bags out there. Them bags sure look good and real. But anyway, the interior it's not bad looking.

Like others said it used to be in style in the show scene. I've never liked it. I would feel like I was driving a purse, not a performance sports sedan.

LMAO, Blue So the LV interior is "so 2005"? Damn, it's only 2007. Do we really have to keep up with the new trends every year?

It seems to be nice workmanship, but it's just not my style. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. I bet the ladies love it though.
