Trust me I'm far from offended. I've been thru this already on another forum for my old car. People talked till they saw it then I got the "it doesn't look bad talk" no biggie or beef here. Its just the internet.

I get what you are saying sped. It's just the fact that cheap builds are going to happen. It's not a 45k car anymore. These cars will be $3500 soon and I don't expect people to put 10k into one. It doesn't make financial sense. I'm not disappointed because it's their car. No reason to get bent out of sha[e about it. If I want to see a clean (in my opinion) gs, I can always build my own. I wouldn't do steelies but I'm not going to trip about it if someone else does it. You're entitled to not like it and voice your opinion about it. I was just trying to put a different perspective. It's like you don't want these guys to go out and embarass you by doing cheap stuff to theirs. But I don't care what other people think about what I like. I'm into impalas and caprices, what you guys call donk (lol). Donk is really for 70's impalas like everything else how people use the term. But my point is, if I get the time to build one, I will. I'm not gonna worry if the next man built a porr example. I'm sure many people on the road think of vip as no diffrent than honda style. All they see is, big wheels, no tire, useless body kits (in terms of performance) and entirely too hard spring rates. But we all are into the gs. I'm getting down from the soapbox now, I'm out.

This is a very interesting thread. I can respect both sides of the spectrum having spent thousands and thousands on many transformations to my GS.
I am finally happy with the way my GS sits right now. VIPstyled.
Having said that, being from down south. VIP style has not been embraced or appreciated as say the west coast or the east coast(LibertyVip) for example. In the south, all they care about is chrome and diameter(no homo) not quality.
Its cool though bc even though everyone drives a GS, they don't drive it like I do or look like mine.
to everyone and do you cuzz ima do me.

steelies on a gs will be whack, but if that's what you wanna do then bust a move. diamond steelies in particular are straight up ugly (design wise), the only reason anyone buys them is because of the sizes. why not get some aviator (18") steelies and have them widened?
(answer) same reason no one else does, because that would actually cost money and require effort.

this has not stopped anyone else from spending tons of money on any specific car, truck, boat, train, airplane, etc correct?!?!?! if someone likes something they will spend the money on how they want it to end up like regardless of time, age, price.
