looks good, nice pics, only thing I would change would be the wood kit, it doesnt match the oem wood and there is too much of it, and the steering wheel and airbag dont match. I would have the black leather re wrapped in matching grey leather or switch wheels with someone

blue car, yellow film fogs, black curtain, tan interior, red brake calipers, chrome grill, and lots of wood trim....too much going on for me.
You have a beautiful spectra blue mica. I would get rid of the curtain, drop, paint the calipers something like silver or black, ditch the chrome grill, woodgrain, and the pretzel thing (I think it looks good on a VIPed out car with bodykit, proper stance, etc and as a finishing touch) and fix that steering wheel.
just being honest here. and welcome to CL!

I read this thread and checked out your pictures last night but was too tired/lazy to post up but Coco-Bun covered what I was going to say.
Because the body color is such a attention grabber the rest of the mods can be toned down and still look amazing.
By the way, Welcome to the club.

agree with others.
ditch the wood kit and ditch the plastic mats on the floor...
imo the rims are too loud for the car. but this is just me as i'm more of a modest type of person and i believe the gs400, being 10 years old now, is too old to "floss" loud chrome rims. if it were a newer CLS55 AMG or ls460, then it would be a diff story.
what is that in the top left of the windshield??
i would tint the windows more also. having non or lightly tinted windows in addition to having the curtains doesn't look good to me for some reason.
sorry.
other than that - the spectra blue GS4 is a good starting platform. clearly you want to go in a VIP direction but the natural design of the car from the factory was more intended for a sporty feel vs VIP... that being the case, trying to alter that feel via aftermarket add-ons doesn't look right (imo).
