Really nice car. Cool to see a 3GS being extensively modded. We modders like changing the car for individuality and yours definitely has a good start. Personally, I like the wheels. I think the slim 5 spoke design looks better on coupes and sportier cars but it seems to have turned out fine with your car. When you get painted calipers one day, everyone will screaming about that wide opened look showing off that fabulous bbk set up. As for the Gucci, I'm not a big fan of it but you only have it on the armrest and door panels. Doesn't look too bad imo. If it was everywhere then I'd say "hoodrat" or "ghetto child" but it's not offensive where you have it. Don't change it to please others...only if you don't like it.

The car looks real nice and the wheels are fine.Great job with the tail tint. I'm not a fan of the Gucci.

The ride looks nice overall IMO. The wheels are not my favorite, but they seem to flow with the look you have with the color match, smoke tails and possible black emblems.

Gucci interior, even though it does not seem exagerated, has to go man so for removing that.

The more I look at that Gucci the less offensive it is. Try this. Just take it off the armrest. Leave it on the doors for a couple weeks and see how you feel. It's the armrest that makes it too much.

Sorry but I really HATE the wheels. I would have expected something nice chrome or colored but with a big-lip. Should be 3-piece.

Oh well.

Default Don't be too subtle about things Ted.

I am glad that you like the car that way that you did it blue. If you are happy thats all that really matters.

Ted if you don't like his wheels just say that they would not be your choice. Telling someone you HATE their wheels is not necessary. I am sure you don't want people to tell you that they hate your Wheels or Car.

When my wheels come in hopefully in 4 weeks or less I will post pictures. Right now I just have the springs Tanabe NF210(not installed) - but can't wait til TEIN comes out with the coilovers. I want to be able to control the hieght as well as the dampening. the DF210 are way too low and harsh.

Peace out.
