Default Black Pearl Complete Kit?

I was looking through some VIPCAR Magazine's and stumbled upon this kit. It definitely reminds me of a benz, but I wanted to see it on other cars. I tried looking around, but I couldn't find any pictures online! Does anyone have any pictures of the Black Pearl Complete kit for the 2GS aside from the one on their website? What does everyone think about the kit? I feel like it's a bit aggressive, but I love the front bumper without the side grills.

Ewwww. Please dont. Personally, too much is going on. Dont you just like the stock body on the GS?? Give it a nice stance, some nice wheels with some meat on the tires(aggressive look), give it some growl and TTE lip. I think thats the best set up

of course of course. TTE Lip with some aggressive shoes are classic, I just would like to see the bumper on another GS :P There are too many generic looking GS' that I can't tell who is who in my town

The front seems a bit too angular for the shape of the GS... I do like the sides and rear though. It vaguely reminds me of the Ridox kit.

IMHO all the sharp edges just does not go with the smooth body lines of the car.

it's not a bad looking kit
replacing the oem grill and maybe some fenders with the cutouts would've made it flow better

What I do like about that kit is that rear spoiler! Elegant and smooth, it doesnt distract the eyes from the GS's smooth body lines.

Oh, and may I add, I think that kit has a lot of uncessary cut outs and openings. If it was more subtle and flowing, it'll look tons better. There are so many ways to make your GS look more aggressive, and this is not helping. I, too, am looking for ways to make my GS stand out and look more aggressive to accentuate the fact that it is a High Performance sedan, but im opting for ways to accentuate not recreate.
