looks good. i at first looked at it and thought it looked a little strange myself. but i just couldnt point it out. but the front end is nice. look at the work on it, its beautiful, except where the skirt meet the fender area.

front's pretty dam nice, but the sideskirt's not... sticks out too much imo...
also it's all nice to be able to match the 3gs front to a 2GS, but I don't know if it's going to flow with the entire car... imo the 2GS is all about smooth curve lines and the 3GS is about taking the 2GS's lines and edge them....

I was asking myself why this was in the 2GS section then I looked at the doors.

Looks pretty cool. Is the Vertex kit availiable for the 3GS? I like it.

Nice conversion indeed
I had thought about cross breeding the 2gs and 3gs.

I'd go for 2gs with 3gs interior
