Nothing wrong with them. They just don't look good to me. I like the contrast of bright red against the cars color. Having them tinted dark serves no functional purpose. Not even full on race cars black out their tail lights.

Don't get me wrong - your car looks sick and the tinted tails fit the theme perfect. As long as you like'em - rock'em.

If ur talking bout the chrome on the grill i had taped it off so the chrome was never painted. the city lights are LEDs from eBay. n yes i do need LEDs for those side markers i hate that yellow look they giv off and the wheels were def "rattle can" but its more in depth than jus that. i kinda messed em up one day n rushed a repaint so they dont look as fresh in person but im redoing em after the winter.

Looks nice so far. I would shave the OEM rear wing and get new wheels. But the blacked out G35 wheels aren't that bad.

Why is your gas cap gray? Did you do that on purpose? It'll look much better on coils. I like the blacked out theme your takin' your GS.

my gas cap is actually a carbon fiber piece, but im def but to ditch that n accent the car with flat black. i rly been thnkin bout ditchin that OEM wing for a while but idk wat to replace it with. BTW this is my third set of rims for year, im done with rims for this car. n i cant wait for coils cuz i jus wanna slam on it the ground even wit the 2 inch drop i still think its too high.

I don't like it, either. To be honest, nothing on your car is my taste.

easiest way is to trade with someone that wants the spoiler. just post a WTT in the classifieds or in your regionals.

too much black for me. The GS is too pretty to hide in the shadows However I'd rather see it in person cause pictures really dont do justice for murder unless done in right light and such. but just not a fan of the murder.

im all for the murder out theme if it fits....

OP car looks good.....im against the tails as that is one of the subtle features of the 2nd gen GS that help our car stand out, can ALWAYS tell u behind or bout to pass s 2GS when u see them

lol now that is were i might hav to say its too black. i left that chrome to go with the grill that still has chrome around it. i kinda want to bring sum more contrasting elements to my car, lyk a silver lip on the rims but for now this is it. i hav to do under the hood work becuz those regular maintenance things are catching up to me.

Yea if something is done right it will look sick, but do one thing wrong and thats it. Kinda like me Theres a murdered out GS on here that is actually sick! but I cant find it has a kit dumped and with BBK and just done right! Heres one I did find that actually isnt bad:



To the OP Just to be clear, I didnt say I hated it Looking at the above pic, I think what really sets it off is the drop. IDK why, but I think thats what saved it. Im thinking that the little gap above your tires adds a third black (shadow) that makes the tires' color stand out a bunch. IDK, again I'd like to see it in person.. but will never happen

maybe the chrome trim to black would be a good idea for next mod since theres no other chrome to set it off.


Quick Reply: Slowly but surely I'm putting in work(pics, tell me what you think)
