offsets
Hey now! 
I agree with the others, some of the details like the headlight covers,
painted taillights are a bit busy.
I like the hood.
One thing I always hated on the 2GS was the factory spoiler.
Eliminating this or going to a Junction Produce-type spoiler would
really clean-up the look.
Also, next time you get tires you could go to a shorter tire
(like 245/30-20 & 285/25-20) and drop the car a bit more
for a "hunkered down" look. I love the silver centered wheels,
wouldn't change that unless you decide to go for less of
a sporty look.

i wanted to ask you, on my car i have a BBK and the offsets are front 41 rear 37. these hennesy wheels are 35offet all around, will they fit you think. current tires are 255/35 front 285/35 rear 20/ im thinking i wont be able to lower the car more but i could leave it at current height. What do you think??is there anyway to get the offset to 41 from a 35mm wheel?
thanks

not feeling the hood at all either.
as far as wow factor goes man...its pretty much personal preference... you dont want to be tearing your car down or building it up in a way other then how you want it just because you drive down the road and people arent snapping their necks every single time...

get a carbon fiber trunk with the back inner lights removed and wrap your vented hood in some carbon fiber like carbongs car... It looks really nice so far ! Great job 
It already looks wow to me !

How come we are talking about Dee's car? 
I like the new wheels. I agree that the OEM spoiler needs to go.

updated pictures
for some reason that i dont know how to control, my camera takes bad pictures when there's lots of sunlight. added limo tint to the back and removed rear light lids.

soo its been a minute since i originally read this forum and i know a lot of mods were mentioned on how to give it that wow factor, but i just though of one that I am not sure was mentioned earlier or not which is to retrofit some q45 headlights into your current headlights. oh and i don't think i noticed it before but in the pic directly above this response the gs looks sorta like a wrx/sti because of the eyelids, hood scoops, and color perhaps... i like the side profile much better i.e. the rims...!

i must say the car is coming together nicely! as for the mentions of my car thanks. the hood i have is a VIS DV Vented carbon fiber hood. it is not wrapped in carbon. my trunk is wrapped but i still have my inner tail lights. that's why i had to wrap it. they sell carbon fiber trunks but the inners are all deleted. i think that'll make it look like a honda
