Default CRAZY or CREATIVE? GS300 riding on hot pink 20's, blacked out headlights. And more..

Hi all,

I know, i have gone a bit crazy on the color of the 20s. Hot pink, naturallly it is not typical that sort of color to be even on a single part of a car!

The latest mod is the blacked out headlights. I decided not to put angel eyes on the car cuz they are getting a bit too overly 'popular' over here in the SE Asia area.

And of course, the custom air intake and the twin 5 1/2 inch stiainless steel exhaust.

I know the opinions are going to be very judgemental, i can understand that. That's why they are back to black now!!!!!!

Enjoy,

Pana

Is that in Thailand?

And why would you change your car based on what people say? What should be important is what you like, mod the car for you not for someone else?

I like some of the upgrades you have done. That said, the pink wheels are not one of them.

Same here, those pink wheels are a bit over the top.

nothing says fruity like a set of pink wheels !


also, you need more stick on ornaments.
There aren't enough yet.

get 4 more stick on faux-vents for the hood.
People won't know there's a bigass 3L V6 under the hood if you don't have hood vents.

I'd be embarrassed to be seen driving that car with or without pink wheels in the US. In America tastes are a bit more conservative.

My understanding is that tastes are more progressive in Bangkok - so what I'm saying is your local friends may love what you have created.

Bro, you have to lose those fake vents on the front fender, and the rear pillar. They are terrrrrrrrible, here in the U.S. some guys may where a pink shirt, I am not one of them but to each his own, PINK WHEELS....................,PINK WHEELS..................... HELL NAH!!!!!!!!!! lose those, and the vents and you ll have a nice car. Just my opinion

Ha, I'm kind of feeling the pink wheels. Props for doing your own thing regardless.

I have pointed out in red everything that needs to be taken off the car.



I also think your stick on vinyl wrapped trunk, roof and hood are cheezy as **** as well, but its tolerable.

I think the combination of matte and gloss finishes doesn't work either. Makes the car look like it has been rebuilt from a junkyard.

Either the silver should be matte to match the black, or the black should be gloss like the silver.
