I blurred it out on purpose as I don't want to reveal the identity of the kit as of yet. Either way this kit will be different from what's out there. My intention from the start was to customized the front only by doing some slight cutting and molding, but it turned out to be a complete 360.

We encountered a lot of issues on this kit. 1 - when it was mounted on the car it was not low enough when slammed. 2 - They sent me a completely different side skirts (have no idea what vehicle it was meant for) my body shop guy said he will work with it and make it fit over the OEM sides.

So, this kit will be modified from the front, sides, and rear. I am also attempting a euro style design on the trunk - only hope it don't fail on me.

I knew the blurring was on purpose was just messing with you figured you were switching up the look some. yeah I know what you mean about the front end sitting high definitely wish it sat lower almost thinking of changing the front cover. The side skirts from this kit is meant to sit over the factory side skirts some trimming is needed.

The sides I received is definitely not for the GS, it is way way too long. Seems like it was intended for a longer sedan like a 460L or something.

Any who, Nick you should come out to our East Coast event July NY Summer Chill Meet 7/28/2013

Awesome front end. Digging the molded fogs.

You need a new set of wheels now to set the aero off.
