okay..well honest opinion if you want to go with the whole "panda" theme.. it seems like you have it backwards you should of atleast painted the stuff gloss black..(so it atleast looks painted) the flat makes it look so cheap... reminds me of a ebay pieced together civic or a panda styled wrx/sti.. the thing that should be painted flat black should be the lower valence on the rear bumper(looks like its gloss) And the roof..Most people paint it black because it make it look like a panoramic glass roof..now if its flat black it just looks weird lol.. sorry but i just felt like given some constructive criticism.just remember not to overdo it because it looks like your on that route

looked better stock. when deciding to mod you should ask yourself if people will laugh at you. drive that in my city and you'd be the local clown

Yea man, sorry but i must agree. The flat blacks makes your car look cheap. If lexus made a gs-f i dont think they'd roll with the panda theme. GS-F should be much more simple and clean. The tte replica lip and rear 3piece wing fit the mold, just not with that paint scheme. But, to each his own.

Thanks for your honesty,
the rear lower valence is glossy (which I didn't ask for)
same with the hood I didn't want it that style, I'm going to have a talk with his tomorrow.
& me personally I like the black/white theme
but that's just me

Let them laugh, but I'm no clown
If you don't like it, don't do what I did
once again, we all have our own style
& this is mine

Why would I?
You guys are just letting me know what you think. & I thank you
I'm a nub in "tuning"...this is my first car that I am really fixing up
Trust me I don't like a few of the things my guy did
but it's my fault for saying "do what you think is nice."
Also he is my neighbor so I don't want us to get on bad terms
first thing tomorrow morning I'm going to have a talk with him.
He keeps telling me my puddle lights I got wont fit on stock side skirts
even though I have read & know that they do.

You're kinda on the right track haha.
Remove whatever is on the hood, and paint the wing and front lip. It'll look so much better. I don't really like the "eyelids" on the headlights, but to each their own.

Thanks a lot
I don't even know what to call whats on the hood
I asked for something else..notwhat ever that is
Lip & wing will get painted tomorrow if he is open, other wise next week.
I didn't ask for those "eye lids"
I don't even know what made him want to put that on??

So the GS is back in the shop today
Painting the spoiler & lip
Mostly changing the hood &/or putting it back the way it use to be.
Also going to try & drop it
& put the puddle lights that's been sitting in the trunk for a week now
maybe even smoke the lights??? not sure yet

Wish me luck
