I definitely agree about the spoiler. Those 3 piece viper style spoilers that are flush on the body are real nice.... cant remember the name of them but seen a bunch of GS having them... look amazing in person too.

Agreed. My fist impression was that it's just waaaaaaaaaaay too busy.


Now, just tint the front door windows and your set!

I'd agree that your car is very clean and tasteful. Too much more and it might be a little rice

All i can say is WOW! haha
Srsly your ride is so hot. i didn't really like it before with the old rims and eyelids but now ur big pimpin.

I actually like the rear spoiler, makes it look sporty and quick. The only think that i would change now would be the hood and grill. Maybe a horizontal chrome gril like a JP or Abflug

I was having 2nd thoughts about the Vertinis but after seeing them on your car, im definetly getting them now.

The 35 offset is whats making me worry since the current wheels fit perfect 41 FRONT 37 REAR on the car but ill figure it out once i get them.
Did it fit?? Are you running on the 8.5Jx20 in the front and 10Jx20 in the rear with a offset of 37 front and rear??

Smile Updated after many ups and down still trying for the wow factor :)

Well... in December i was having a little too much fun and lost control of the car and crashed into a street sigh post sideways .....Ripped the street sigh out with the concrete base which the car rolled over...
Car was messed up door..fender... Radiator...front bumper ... motor/tranny mounts... i was upset that this happend to my baby(I have pics and will post once i find them) Insurance company called it a total lost... Paid most of my loan but i didnt want to let the car go.... after many days and tons of money here is how the car looks now....... 10 steps back 1 foward from where i was.... yes i left the hood little open but just wanted to show how the car looks now....
so this is the car now after trying diffrent wheels option i stuck with my Trafficstars....

What happened to the old hood? I think it flowed much better with the car than the CF hood, just my opinion.

I can dig it. It looks pretty nice with the rims. Im not a fan of them but on your car they look sick Sorry about the accident, but its good to see your back up. That color is sexy! BTW how good is the paint match?
