I like the door trims, but the carbon fiber pieces dont match the rest of the interior.

Actually, the Job Design sides mount to a sub-structure. I mounted the puddle lights to this sub-structure and didn't touch the JD sides....

Nice looking car! I also don't personally like the CF stuff inside a car, especially a luxury car. But, as long as YOU like it, that's all that matters! Love the front end of the car! Great work!

Blue is what I had on hand....but I like it because it ties in with the blue accent color on the brakes, interior, and trunk lighting.

I went with CF interior to be different. Plus, I think the GS is more a sporty sedan, not luxury....that's what the LS is for.

Great to see such a unique interpretation of the GS! Wheels and trunk work are badass sir

Thanks !!!!

Went a little more aggressive all the way around. I have a little rubbing in the back right were the rear bumper bolts up to the fender, but I'll shave it a little more.

Now, time to get the car into a magazine....
