Default I ordered some parts for my GS-h

So I bought my Silver GS450h about a month ago and joined this forum a couple weeks ago to learn as much as I could about my car.

While searching the web for rims I stumbled upon this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ8QLM8BO3Y

I guess you could call this car my "inspiration car".

It was love at first sight. So I bought the rims, ordered some NF210 springs, and a J-Spec body kit.

I'm not trying to copy, but I can't find another set of rims that I like better than these. I realize the car in this youtube video is probably dropped on some Tanabe DF210's or possibly even coilovers so my car wont look quite as low as this one, but it should still look pretty nice I hope.

Considering all the parts I just mentioned does anyone have an opinion as to how it might look once everything comes together? It'll be a few more weeks before I actually receive all the parts and get everything installed but I'm anxious as to how everything is going to come together.

Does anybody have any real world photos of a 3GS with a J-Spec body kit? I ordered mine from extreme dimensions for $625 shipped and thus far the only photo I can find is a really crappy one on the company site. I'd like some high res photos if anyone has them.

Thanks!

that's eric's car from florida, very nice car imho, i love how he pushes the wheel fitment boundary. a lot of work, and the result shows

extreme dimension? crappy of course, they are a knock off company. i will try not to say too much about it. but given your position on wheels on nice cars, i would like to give you a heads up

I had no idea this was a knockoff kit.

I'm looking for something subtle sort of like the car in the youtube video but I have no idea what body kit that car has.

I just emailed Extreme Dimensions just now to request they refund my money and cancel shipment of the body kit. If it's a knock-off then the chances are it'll require alot of work for proper fitment. I'll do more research on body kits before I buy one.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Sorry for the moves.. Henry and I were discussing should this be in the GSh forum or in the general forum. Moved back to general forum for more views and since its more about mods that can fit any GS.
