Default Ideas from our friends in Japan



The owner of these GS somehow managed to fit 2 fog lights on each side and in my opinion I think it looks great and unique. I have not spoken with her personally but if you guys want, I can ask her how she was able to do it.




I actually got to speak with the owner of this clean black GS and he tinted his tail lights. He got them painted and boyyyyyy, they look great. It gives the 13-15 tail lights a modern and clean look. I really wish I did this before I installed my GSF tails. I really like how he blacked out the surrounding areas, but left the brake lights red. Such a clean and aggressive look.
If anyone else comes across some cool GS ideas from Japanese GS owners, please do share on here. I would love to see new and fresh ideas. I hope someone here in the states tackles these two mods and shares with us. I would love to see them.

The black looks nice, very artsy pics. The white one’s stance is cartoonish. Can’t say I like the add on lights either.

I like the fogs a lot, I love how one juts out and covers the other slightly + the angle pointing in on the outside.

Those black tails are insane, I would pay to have those done. I actually prefer 13-15 tail design over 16+ for the most part, 16+ just looks more modern. Those blacks tails look just as modern.

My 2019 FSport diffusers are painted gloss metallic black.

I think all refreshed 2016+ FSport too, just have to shine a flashlight to see the metallic bits.

Hard to tell, but it looks like the AIMGAIN rear diffuser painted in combination with custom painted black rear spats - looks to my eyes like they integrated the NIA design rear spats and AIMGAIN diffuser:

Right that's what I was asking, because we don't have that double lip top center stock.

I believe it is an aimgain diffuser, but the side spats I have no idea.

The black tail lights look amazing but would only work on a black colour gs. I wonder if tinting the tail lights but avoiding the break lights would achieve similar results for colours other then black. Would be expensive I'm guessing.

It's not all that expensive. Depends on the shops, but at the end of the day it should be no more than 150. Should run you around 100 if anything.
