good luck with your build. trust me when i say i know how you feel. there is a fine line between standing out and totally being "out there" though. everyone will have their opinion though and expect to hear it both positive and negative. this is the internet and things will be said that you like and don't like.

i would recommend that you use photoshop to see what your options are before going somewhere and spending the money to find out what it will look like.

definitely unique. good luck and keep us posted

Thanks alot
& I know whatever it is I do there will always be people who like & dislike the "mods"..
If they like it great, if not that just tells me you wouldn't do it to your car & that is understandable
because we all have own look & style we want to go for.
I wish I thought of that first with the photoshop
my goal is just to have a one-of-a-kind GS
I will keep everyone updated on the build
& I will try to get a clip of the exhaust ASAP

Im not feeling your mods, but everyone is intitled to their own taste. One mod that I do like that you have done is how you painted the rear valence. It kinda gives the rear section more depth.

Like someone else already mentioned, you should have made that part FLAT Black instead of glossy though.

I would totally do the same on that rear bumper if my GS wasnt BLACK.
