I don't often like murdered out because the execution is usually poor but this is how murdered out is supposed to look! Great job I like the wheels could they certainly go with the theme black and sporty. What's your complete exhaust set-up and intake?

Im usually not that into the murdered out theme myself I was talked into dechroming the car but had all intentions on riding silver wheels and still do, but always planned on keeping a set of wheels for the winter /back up set and this is what the Vossens were going to become and i got to thinking about painting them and throwing more money out so instead Im going to sell the Vossens and bought these for less and got new tires as well.
I really had no idea that this was going to executed as well as it is and really don t want to take them off lol... The exhaust is Top speed cat back and it sounds good by itself and is more aggressive than most others i ve heard for this car. I then added the Invidia mid pipe and also have a fujita short ram air intake but Fujita performance (not Fujita the manufacturer) is a sorry organization and has yet to send it to me, anyway the mid pipe really opened this baby up and made her sound mean and feels peppier Im sure its not for everyone but this car isn t exactly a regular GS and has become aggressive all the way around so I love it and think its fitting for the style in which this vehicle has taken on

I Appreciate the feedback, and I originally had a vinyl overlay that covered the whole lens I have seen the reverse lights left clear on other blacked out tails and liked it so I rolled with it I think it also breaks it up some and may keep me from getting pressed out by the law as much (doubtful!)
