Honestly, in your color, Id stick with the kit you have now. The job would look sweet in all black imo. Why dont you purchase a kit you love all around?

I own a 2GS and love these cars as much as the next guy.

But the 2GS is a bit long in the tooth to even BE at SEMA.

That's why I'm showing product on a Bentley GT Speed with a Premier widebody.

None of those Job Design GS parts do much for me.

I agree Jay, no on the sides and rear . But I love your Abflug kit, classic, original and just enough accents in the right places. If you get rid of your kit, let me know .
