I would go with the L-Sportline (that's why I got it) But I was also thinking about going with the Veilside side skirts... I think with the L-Sportline F/B and Veilside sides it gives the car alittle more Pazazz... IMO....

Veilside is the only way to improve a GS asthetically whilst retaining class and not looking tacky. Only my opinion. I mean just look at the hood.... (sigh!)

The L kit is ok, but not radical enough to warrant spending the money or the time. And common.

If it's not classy you want, but you want to go for the deathstar, fast, BMW/Benz Killer look then there are several horny kits not yet mentioned.

I would go with Veilside, Wald, then L-Sportline. It is pretty close between the Veilside and the Wald though. If you go with L-Sportline, you should be prepared to shell out for their exhaust too.

By the way, are you talking about the Veilside 161 "regular" kit or the Executive Sport kit?

Also, does this mean you are not trading in the GS anymore?

When I said old Veilside kit, I was referring to the regular.

When I said new Veilside kit, I was referring to the Executuve Sport which everybody hates its front.

I only like the front and side of LSportline. Not going after its rear bumper. It's not so good IMO.

Default Veilside all the way baby!!!

I would go with the Veilside kit. After having it on my car for 4 months now, I get a lot of compliments on it pretty much everywhere I go from all kinds of people (from ricers to middle-aged yuppie soccer moms). The whole kit just being out the aerodynamics of the GS. In my opinion, the Veilside kit looks a lot better on darker cars (black) as compared to lighter cars (silver). I have no regrets at all about my choice and would do it again in a heartbeat.

For some reason, I don't really like Veilside's front bumper. But it is hot on a black vehicle, such as Martin's.
