If someone posted a bright hot pink GS300 with gutted interior and sitting a foot higher on 26" rims do we all have to chime in congratulating. Im guessing most would go the route I did and try to compliment where possible with your own opinion then give constructive criticism

And to the OP, I do apologize for crowding up your thread with this little side track.

I understand your point. Our view on cars will always be subjective. I would have done some things differently. What irked me is, this website based community is dying, as everyone prefers instagram.

You're entitled to those opinions but no one wants to here it when the rest of the new stuff on here is stuff that has been covered a million times. "How to attach a JP wing?" "Will these 18x7.5 +51 wheels be flush?" "I want to be hellaflush without fender mods and want a full size tire, what do I do?"

You know how many people show up with promising plans and then bolt and we don't here from them again? This guy is actually getting things done. Now I know what my Serialnine fenders will look like painted. Now I know what 7.5 inch lips will look like on my car if I go that route. Now I know what Ganador mirrors would look like. I wouldn't do the Voltex wing, but it looks interesting and fits the look he's going for. My gripe was contribute some content rather than sit behind a computer critiquing someone who took the time to work on his ride and share the results. I'm not trying to personally attack you, but It's easy to say I wouldn't do that, I would do that, .....if you're not doing anything.

Sigh* (facepalm)
Im not going to try and respond to everyone that wants to tear me down because they want to highlight what little bad was said. I get what you are saying but you are being a little hyper sensitive.

Love the build, actually thinking about doing those fenders when my car finally gets here my only concern was which kit do i pair it with since the serial nine doesnt come with bumpers and side skirts......
