Pandags430 2gs/3gs Vertex Makeover

[PandaGS430]

Well after that last accident I had ordered a kit from japan which would have been a one off kit. but during that time i get a email from Tony with LUXURYMODS.COM and he tells me I can be the first to have the 2GS/3GS conversion in the U.S. .... and so here we are.

I finally just finished up some of the finishing touches outside the car and thought its finally time to post. Now this is usually out of my realm because quite frankly I don't like fiberglass, but everything turned out really well and the quality of the kit is at its best. I know some people believe I strayed off the 2GS's cues but you know what? Its something different and well....Ive been more susceptible to change lately!

[[ant]]

i like it. you can sortof tell its been put on cause the glass just isnt as baby bum smooth as the metal but thats only cause i'm critically looking at it on well lit pictures!

i realy like the look, all i would say is some spacers all round, or at least up front, to fill out the apparent wider guards of the 3gs front

[LEXUS_KID]
