Default vive la difference

It's got a "factory racecar, body-in-white" look that I really like. The only change I'd make would be to do the hood in a carbon fibre vinyl wrap instead of the B/W stripes. Great to see an alternative to VIP. (Sorry for the BMW pic it's all I could find to illustrate)

I agree don't like the strips but I think a black hood would look pretty good with your car..............

I was thinking that, but I am going to paint the headlight housing Black
& I don't think it would like just right

OP: did you own an SRT-4 sometime before buying your GS? The way the eyelids and the hood looks + plus the rim style makes it look like an SRT-4. I have two friends who had them and hooked them up and the look almost exactly like this. I don't think it looks bad, just different. Props to you for being unique

No, I never owned a SRT-4...although I did want to at one point.
There are days I like the "eyelids" & then there are days I don't lol
& the hood I think I'm going to change it if I have some $ left over after the other mods
The rims are TSW Thruxton, I don't see it being SRT-4 rims lol
but maybe It's just me.
& thanks for the props, I wanted to be unique with my build
even though alot of CL ppl don't like it, it's cool
I stick out more then others & I don't blend in with the other VIP cars
Once again Thanks
