for the sake of argument, its inevitable...The GS has gotten just as cheap as a Civic and the crowd will shift along with the trends. We will see more Home Depot mods, more knockoff's will flood the market, crazy rim colors, tacky cloth interiors, possibly rusted hoods....but know this FOR SURE....every single one of them will have a FUSA

If you come to accept that our cars aren't what they used to be, either you'll keep it for the love, or you'll get rid of it and upgrade to the LS430

Looks kinda tacky imo. If the lip will scrape regularly, then this added piece would rip off and the lip still scratch. All good though, its for fun, but if u like it, its all you man.

Lol speed, ur sucha jerk. But yes i took that advice a while back. I love not seeing so many ls430s around muahaha! Shoot if i see more people go to the ls430 side imma get a 460!
