I can appreciate the custom work, but not a huge fan of the finished product. I think it would have looked better if the widebody was blended into the entire body panel. As it is, the lower portion just jets out an extra 4"-6"? Does not seem to flow real well with the overall car. However, they do very nice work and paint. To each his own.

yep the verticle part of the bodyline remained stock while the horizontal widened...can't do that cause it doesn't look proportional.

I thought he was gonna have it blended in as well, but as it is, it reminds me of the old Porsche 944 fender flares. Quality job, but I agree, it doesn't flow with the GS's smooth curvy lines.
