Nice work the car looks great.

i don't like those side vents. they don't match the car.

and i can't see the wheels cuz they're black. I just don't understand why people spend so much money on wheels just to paint them all black.

color is nice though. my next car will be white.

Nice car, apart from the chrome grill and headlights dont match the rest of the car now since the owner put black parts and blacked out front emblem.. doesn't flow.

if you look at the eyelids in another one of the pictures, they dont seem to match either. although its very close, its nearly impossible to match the paint color.


cars' tight.
I think its just the sun and the camera messing with the contrast.

Maybe just me, but I do not think the fender or the poop scoper (lower lip) match the GS' contour...

Also since the owner decided to "BLACK OUT" the emblems, foglight's opening, fender opening, and so on... Why did he added carbon fiber pillars to throw off the theme?!?

Not my cup of tea. Wheels are too tucked in.

I couldn't agree with you more. Definitely not into those fender vents.

I also noticed the craftsmanship on the rear bumper is not well executed, they put some kind of rubber in-between the rear bumper and the rear fenders trying to cover up the gaps!!!
