Just a simple clean look. I dont like the crazy how wide of wheel can i fit on my car thing. Just simplicity. like a stock aristo minus some features like window visors and roof spoiler. Im not sure what "VIP Style" is but I know I cant afford it. All that JP stuff is WAYYYYYY out of my price range. I mean the taillights are $1400 or something? i've seen other lights that look identical for $150-200? I wanna do black vinyl on my roof, keep the whole black and white theme going.
some Black LED tails Black Halo's, Purple HID's headlights and fogs, nice simple lip like a greddy or maybe TTE? new exhaust, lowered on whatever? eventually na-t or full swap.

I too am not fond of black rims, however when done right they can look great. too many just put black rims and dont accent them in any way. and satin black rims are caca! LoL with out shine, they look (as said above) like spares with a bunch of brake dust on them. Youre rims (tony) have a shine, so I'm sure these pictures have no justice. :/ even though brakes are expensive, thats what offsets black rims the most. I say paint your calipers to bring out the rims... that black GS posted looks sik, but the tails need to be tinted a bit ...

I agree black rims look great with the right accent. I will be looking for some breaks eventually. but first thing first exhaust then lower

Man, who is this guy???

I stated to dump the car on chrome wheels ie, work, weds kranze edition, AME, wald, trafficstars, j-line, HRE, etc etc something worthy for the GS. Not now dub style music video bs chrome.

GS300ToM... Good looking out! Looks like someone understood what i was saying.

sakataj....You're pretty darn good at straying off people's topic buddy!!! Youre posts for the most part have little to no relevance to anyones topic.. You have over 4000 post, and i bet 99.9% of youre responses made no sense what so ever. This is the 2nd post that ive run into you where you quoted me and totally took what i had to say way out of context... If you have a problem with me go ahead, put it out there, and out of respect just stay out of my thread/post and i'd be more than happy to stay out of yours. This isnt honda-tech!!!
