This is awesome! This is the exact set-up I've been contemplating for a little while now actually. Well done!

Any fender mods? I still can't believe these are only 19's, they look like 20's!

Hmm, I wonder if the Vertini Magic would look similar?

Thanks. I need to trim the rear fender lip a touch. Over big bumps it rubs

The wheel design really complements the GS. Nice work

I've always loved those rims. Your GS is definitely one of the cleanest.

Thanks guys. The trim and emblems are painted black. I also brushed the chrome trim around the windows and at the bottom of the doors.

That is a real good look. I've always like the LC818s and only seen the IS guys with them. Now I know what they look like on a GS and like what you did with it.

Clean A lip kit and I'd call it done.
