Beautiful pics man, but just be careful when you're driving will ya? We'd hate to hear about you getting hurt because you weren't looking at the road.
Anywho... The Sharpie idea is a good concept, but I'm not ever sure it could grow on me. It just looks strange and a little too flashy for my tastes, but whatever floats your boat.

In the b/w pics it looks ok. I didn't realize the car was blue until I saw the color pics, though. It'd probably look better if the graphics weren't confined by the abrupt lines of the bumper. Anyways, not my thing but +1 for being different.

Refreshing!
It's so nice to see a GS posted in the 2GEN forums with some refreshing pictures to look at for exchange. I was getting bored of all the same newbie questions that are being posted lately without using the search engine!
Very innovative and creative mind you have there my friend. I'm a big fan of great art, especially created on a GS in a different style.
Nice camera action and the rolling shots are really nice! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the feedback guys, both positive and negative.
First I must thank, as always, Jun for his ever-increasing skills behind the lens. A quick note: Jun took those pics while driving his own car, so if that doesn't speak to his abilities I don't know what does.
To answer some questions:
1) Yes, this car is daily driven on coils.. meaning that their is no adjustment on the go.. no bags, hydros, or aircups. Completely static.
2) The blue bumper makes the car look lower then the white sharpie bumper due to the addition of the add-on lip. With the blue bumper on, I have about 4 inches of clearance from lip to ground.
3) How do I drive like this daily? Practice, a defensive-eye and a little bit of guts. I'm in outside sales, and drive an average of about 3000 miles / month. Even so, daily-driving this thing has had its fair share of challenges. I'm going to start a "Diary thread" on my adventures driving low to give you guys a better idea of what "really" happens when you drive as much as I do like this.
4) The reasoning behind doing the sharpie bumper was due to damaging my blue bumper, and I put one of Jeff Tsai's old white bumpers on my car in the meantime. I decided that while I had it on there, why not try some art? The idea was originally thought of by the owner of Lambo of Ft Lauderdale on his white Gallardo, and I do what to give credit where credit is due.
The blue bumper is back on, as its fixed and because the sharpie bumper will start to fade if I leave it on. Thus, its become an "accessory" to put on once in a while for kicks and becomes a nice piece of art for the house. Ha.
Just trying to push the envelopes and think out side the box. Keeps an 11-yr old car fresh.

If the car was black or white it would've been on point. I like the creativity, but it clashes with the rest of the car. Need less to say your ride its dope boy fresh...
