Its a Mode Parfume kit. First one in the US for the GS. I got the kit from TLW.

Very Very Executive looking...You must love your wife, ALOT!

I was never a fan of chrome door handles, but you just changed my mine.

Keep the handles the way they are now, I think the 2nd setup looks particularly funny.....

Either way is hawt, you don't mind if I go with the other do you? Man that really set the car off, the kit, wheels and everything else flows so well. Nice job, keep up the great work!

You definitely turned lemons into lemonade with this one. I HATE chrome door handles! To me they do not flow on any GS that I've seen them on - it's just too much chrome in the wrong place, but you actually pulled this off... It's amazing how many people all of a sudden were actually just thinking about doing the same thing... great creativity / originality...

Joe, I encourage anyone to do either one they like! It makes us 2nd Gen guys look better!

Be warned, you will need access to a grinder and a mig welder. Don't be afraid because its only 2 tack welds per rear handles. The front ones don't need any welding or grinding.
