That kit is doing way too much for our cars, plus the sharp angles in the front doesn't flow with our rounded headlights and grill at all. To each their own, but I'd spend your money elsewhere

I have never been a kit guy but give the GS a more CLKish DTM Benz look. Like front n back but delete side front lower vent in front of wheel.
