Finally I got my GS.

Check it out guys. It's got a few touch ups it needs, but overall it's a beast. To me atleast. Tell me what y'all think!

At first, I thought the picture was a joke and/or photoshopped. Get rid of the wheels, or better yet, trade them. It's still clean though!

My goodness I already said like 4 times I AM GETTING RID OF THE RIMS, lol, you don't have to tell me in every post. I know what to do with the things and that's get rid of them. I'm planning a VIP project w/ the car, so i'm going to go w/ some 18's or something and drop it a inch or so, 'cause it's my DD, so i'm not gonna go super low with it.

Noob Question: What's fender roll?

You have a lot to learn, sir. Might wanna check out the vip section so you can get an idea of what a REAL vip car looks like. 18s wheels and a 1 inch drop does not qualify as vip to anyone here on the forums lol. Good luck with your project and try to stay away from the rice/ghetto stuff (i.e. vents, chrome pillars, altezzas, etc.)

Btw what part of Texas are you from?

sorry im so anti-donk style i just jump the gun on the comments....as for question on fender roll there tons on topic on the forum but in a nut shell you create a wide gap on the factory fender to accommodate wider wheels when droping your car (example vip) style

I know what real VIP is, i've been reading/researching for months, but i'm not going to slam my car to 'qualify' as a VIP car to everyone else. It's my DD, so i'm not going to low. 1 inch was just a example, if I can go lower and be good then I will, but i'm not slamming my car.

And I live in Dallas. (Garland Area)
