I used to own a 2000 M5 and loved the quad pipes. I wanted to do something like that with my GS but the bumper does not look to be wide enough. I want something more flush, and not obnoxious like those ones that stick way out.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I too had it down to those two, but yea, the WIN matches the flow of the bottom of the rear bumper!

I cant remember the name, it belonged to a 6'8" pacific islander from hawaii who just recently past away due to lukemia or something... On 'vipstlyecars.com' they had a full bio on the guy on the front page. Apparently he was major in the VIP scene and well known. I had the story saved, but then my hard drive crashed DAMN good job with the car!

I respect your opinion, but I'd like to politely disagree. It's just too much and doesn't seem to "flow" with the rest of the car.

You know, I'm gonna have to talk with the mods on vipstylecars cause I couldnt find anything. There was a full bio on him with interior pics and all.. Its a pretty sweet ride. I wonder what happened to it not out of disrespect, but man I would have jumped on the chance to buy that one!

What are you talking about?! It flows perfectly, same angle of bumper for one. What makes it go the most is the style hes going for (which I like) its the look as if the car is made of taffy grab either end and pull a bit. Makes the car look stretched! in compliments the wing. Makes the car look aerodynamic! I do respect your opinion, but that sh it looks sick! I'd do it to mine, but would DEF not 'flow' with my set up...

Its definitely the WIN wing, I have one on my car. If I remember correctly it does cover the stock holes, its been awhile. Good luck finding one though, they arent the easiest thing to get your hands on.

The car was owned by David Tang (PimpluxGS) He was tall, 6'1" or so, Asian. Was a nice guy and always pushing the edge with his style. Not always my cup of tea, but respected his passion.

I wonder how long the interest will last. Until winter comes around? haha, good to see that you are still playing with the GS. Bring it to Hawaii, and we can let the cars "play" Or if I'm lucky I'll take it to the "states" and let it run around there and look for ya!!

Wouldn't it be cool to have the original four horsemen's cars together again? Now that would be a photo op!

me too sir thats why I said I couldnt do it cause it doesnt flow with my kit. If I were talking about the wing, it would totally contradict my purpose of my topic in regards to the wing
