seriously, for all the talk that goes on about 'modded' cars here, I really think that the stock ones almost always look better. Everytime I see a lowered, tinted, GS ridin' on 'dubs' and sporting chromed b-pillars with rain guards I just get a weird "Fast and Furious" riced out pimpmobile vibe. There's no way you'll be able to sell a seriously modded car without taking a significant depreciation hit.
I look at some GS riding on Tanabe springs with chromed wheels and I just see visions of 40 second smoky burnout YouTube videos while your gang cheers you on.

In my opinion the gs does not look best with small 18 in wheels...but it doesn't look bad either.

Like Ice350 said, stock with 18s just looks OK.

The factory gs body looks amazing but when it comes to factory wheels and suspension it makes the car look almost like an suv. As far as losing value most of us part the car out and put it back to factory before sale. There us also nothing wrong with doing burnouts life is to short to live in a box and not have fun.

Well we don t have to worry about that cause I have no plans on getting rid of it, and my car has probrably been taken care of more than most. The 3 burnouts I have done in my car highly doubt have done anything to hurt the vehicle. Last time I checked you didn t buy my fuel or tires. Trust me when I do a motorswap on it you ll probrably see alot more of it since you seem to be so interested in what I do with my car.

^^^^baaaaaaahaaahaaaaha are you kidding me there is plenty of oil everywhere, your naive if you don t believe so. The only reason fuel is outrageous is because the rich get richer and the poor get poorer it's the way the world works. There are plenty of other means of energy but the worlds economy depends so much on the sale of oil that to replace it with something more plentiful and cheaper would not only devastate our economy but that of many other countries all over the world. You should open your eyes and look further than the illusions portrayed by a failing economic system. Anyway I paid good money for my gas I can do what I want with it!!BTW sorry for thread jackin Im done!!

It's not sustainable, there is no replacement for oil, and sadly it's not going to last much longer. We are facing a horrendous energy/population/food/economic crash. Probably by 2012.
