Talking SNEAK PEAK of my project

Hello everyone i thought i would post some pics of my upcoming mods of my gs since i have not done too much to it for a while. I cant wait to put it all together!!
Got a deal on the body kits that i could not pass on

The wheels are getting redone fresh powdercoat and polished lip "Thanks InspiredGS" for the reference

TOWN CAR BLACK I have all the painting stuff, paint is not cheap
ill be shaving the antenna hole after seen boosted86's car it looked clean.

i have puddle light that i ave been wanting to install for the longest time.

Dual tip mufflers, should i remove the resonators or keep them??

Looking good.......subscribed for the final result. BTW, it appears you may have to modify the openings of the rear bumper in order to fit your exhaust tips.

10g alumin cut to fill in gap then lay carbon fiber, resin, then clear coat. It was time consuming but well worth it I think.

you should paint the deck surround black or carbon fiber to it to match better. It looks out of place with everything else. Interiors coming along nice. Theres a kicker grille available for those subs, might be a nice finishing touch.

wow that thing is gonna thump and rattle all over the place!

Coming along great!

Not in any way to clutter your thread, but would you be interested in an JDM Authentic Inspection Rear Bumper? The cutouts for the exhaust on that particular bumper were made for dual tip VIP mufflers.

I don't own a 1GS anymore, so I have no need for it. I'll sell it uber cheap! PM me if you're interested
