Thanks dude!
Thanks man, I will!
I'm going to live on my buddy's boat tomorrow morning until Sunday for Red Bull Flugtag festivities, but I'm dropping my car off at my mechanic-friend's house on the way to the river and he's going to install my coilovers. So I will have a freshly-slammed GS waiting for me when I get back, which I am pretty stoked about!
He's going to install over the weekend and I'll be dialing in the ride height after work on Monday, so look for new height pictures Monday evening!

Thanks fellas!
I'm not really looking to do any fender work, but I'm surprised by how much clearance I have. I'll probably go with a 5-10 mm spacer just to get rid of the fender gap, but I'm not trying to sit flush or anything.
Thanks man! My 540i has a lot of rake to it and I love the look. I ran out of time tonight and left the rear as-is, but as mentioned above I'll probably be getting some spacers, so I'll adjust it then.

Thanks dude! I've always been a fan of the "stealthy" look.

I am struck for words. I love your gs and there's so many things I'd like help with. First my sub box won't fir on the back shelf cuz the middle seat belt thing in the truck on the top is in my way. I also wanna know about the fog lights(I was just gonna go with yellows to match HIDs)but I really like those, REALLY want to know about your running lights/high beams with a possible link to the bulbs, the grill, the trunk lights, I'm so extremely jealous and this car was once my great grandmother's R.I.P. luckily she had good taste and left it to me. This car is something I'm never going to let go and i wish for it to look so perfect that anyone in its presence is in complete awe. Beautiful GS my man....

Fog lights - Custom made by the previous owner of this body kit, YaKuZa_GS. That bumper/fog light setup is one of one.
Running lights - Disabled using the common jumper wire trick. Unless you're referring to the halos, which are also custom made.
High beams - No idea, whatever bulbs are in the factory housing.
Grille - L-Tuned
Trunk lights - Cheap, blue SMD strip from eBay, probably. It was in a box of stereo stuff I bought from a guy parting out his car.
Good luck with your car, dude!
Oh, and here it is all dialed in and clean:
