Third gen GS kit / Vertex T&E demo car (merged threads)
Can you guys see any difference?
Besides the one that stares right at you...
I think it looks sooo good...and one off.

looks like the kit for the doors are taped on, looks so weird. and why would they swap signal side mirrors with another kind that looks worse.
nice to see kit for 2008 but i think i'll pass on this one
*to answer my own question, it could be a 07 with 08 front

that's a bumper replacement, not lip kits
i think they might be using a 07 car but the bumper design is based on 08

Wait a minute...that's not a 3G GS at all! That's a 2G isn't it? Look at the handles, rear end, and the C-pillar.

Also, the sides are too flat.

Yeah...it's definitely a 2G. A 3.5G look-a-like kit for 2nd Gens.

HAHA Yea it's an old school 2nd Gen GS with the 3rd Gen GS front. This was done to generate attention at Tokyo Auto Salon. Not a bad conversion!
We'll have this kit available if a great enough demand is generated. But for now, just enjoy the project.

They should have shaved the chrome trim around the car. Cool project.
