Me too. I think the tint on the headlights makes it look distinctive. I like it. And if I saw that GS driving by, I'd definitely turn and look. Nice job.

i agree with jre002. I like the black roof, but i would have painted it or done gloss black, but the shark fin looks out of place, the mirrors and or spoiler painted black would look aweful, like a base model corolla or something that didnt get the mirrors painted. I'm not a fan of the f-sport wheels, and it could def be lower without being a "lowrider". I like the tails, never been a fan of the blue tinted headlights tho, the leds were a cool idea, just not executed properly. JMO. I think it would look a lot better if you painted the shark fin black, and removed the headlight film.

Well there is reason y it's not painted one it's leased for now(planning on buying if gs-f won't come out) 2 painting the roof will drop the value in case I wanna sell later on 3. My color is rare therefore it's not an option for me vinyl just does the job right i can always re move it without any pain or hassel To answer ur question about the shark fin same thing I like it opaline pearl, wat I meant by doing the spoiler is painting it the same color as the wheels if u pay attention my f sport badge background is sane gray as the wheels therefore I think it will work as well as painting the trim around the headlight

i think black pearl emblems
a lil lower
and if it would be possible which most likely isnt, would be if the headlight film wasnt so blue it would be perfect. cause i like the headlight film but its a lil to blue

I still think the spoiler a different color would look bad, as someone else said, the black emblems would look nice. what i meant by gloss black, was a gloss black vinyl, yours looks matte black. The headlight trim would look ok, even better if you do black emblems, but i really dont think painting the spoiler would look good, both will be an issue if you return the lease. but, it's your car, do whatever you like with it.

DJ- Did you cut the 3M vinyl yourself for the tail tint? Really like how the white/clear reverse is not tinted. Very Clean. Could you pls advise how exactly you did it? Thanks again!

Nice set up...noticed your GS is an AWD....does the staggered fitment on your F-Sport wheels make any difference with the AWD performance?

I would suggest going with the blue f sport calipers to get some contrast in the wheel area, then change out your chrome emblems for graphite grey color to tie in with the wheels and bottom door molding, and yeah, definnetlly paint that shark fin! Otherwise looks good,you made the gs your own
