Default looking for GS and a Kit....what do you think?

Well it's official...............my choice is to get a GS......
some of you might remember my ES......Just sold.
waiting to close on a house and should start my GS search in the middle of April.


I'm confused as to go 300 or 430. I've been driving a 300 for a week ( company car) and really love it. so I'm considering if I can justify the extra $$$ for the 430

Anyhow, I have purchased a set of wheels for my future GS.

so I have decided to start looking for a kit. ( I know if I dump it on wheels, I'll procrastinate on a kit....like the ES, so better do it now )

My two favorite is ;

Prussian Blue or Aimgain....both of wich I think are very classy and simple.

Which do y'all like better???
Prussian Blue



Aimgain

I am gonna assume you are going VIP? But I would go with the Prussian. Aim does not flow very well with the car IMO.

We'll welcome you with open arms whenever you get your future GS. As far as 300 or 400/430. It depends a lot on what you want as far as power now and power potential. AS for the kits I've never really been a fan of that aimgain front bumper. And the blue kit looks exactly like the Wald so why not just get the Wald for less money.? you'll be able to get that quicker too with D2 or Steve.

The Prussian is sick - but I agree with Bluelex - cheaper and faster to get the Wald.

Little heads up... You might want to check into Prussian Blue before purchasing. Very expensive kit and if its anything like the fenders definately not worth it. Very long wait for the kit and no recourse if any problems.... Trust me I should know. I ordered the fenders and all they were was a Toyota fender cut out and remolded with fiberglass .I could of had my body guy do the same for about $500 and I paid almost $2200.

If I could do it all over I probably would have gone with Wald or JP.

thanks for your input Elliot...........oh yeah, what makes you think VIP?



Bluelex.......thanks for the welcome bro ( I think you knew I was coming to the dark side )

Don't get me wrong.....the Wald kit is nice ( was actually a choice a few weeks ago, $$ had something to do with that since it's not very expensive)
But I just see it being comprable to the Prussian .......It just seems the Wald has too much of a wrap look to it

Between the two...I like Aimgain over Prussian Blue. The Prussian blue fenders are funky, not feelin' them...Aimgain looks much cleaner and the lines seem to flow better.
