the isx50 conversion looks very similar to the cyber kit. not to my taste imo... however, that mb rear is better than the ls460 rear imo. flows extremely well with the sideskirt. mb front, not so well. but overall, great looking car. i'd go with a front admiration lip kit.

the rear is fairly straight foward i did my homework and measured and the two bumpers were almost identical in shape. as foe the front it was a pain in the butt since i wanted to be hard headded and get a bumper tat has no similarity to the stock gs bumper shape. if you do not have any type of body work skills or think its easy cause it looks easy think again its not. i chopped and and shapped and strapped the bumper to my licking then handded it over to the body shop for finishing

Secondly, I'm glad to see that I was on the right path in my research. I knew the Wald bumper would look SICK on the 2GS, I just hadn't seen it done til now. I'm also researching different bumpers that I think would give my GS a different look but, flows with the architecture or the car. So far I've learned there are many possibilities IF you have a good body shop guy. Of course we all know the MB fits but, some other ideas I'm also looking at are; a 2013-2014 ES350 front bumper conversion (see pic), a 2012 Hyundai Genesis Rear Bumper by BMC Extremes (see pic), Sarona 2010 BMW 7 Series custom front and rear bumpers (see pic)... I can't wait to get started!!

First off, big shout out to Advil4u and his bad *** GS and for sharing his creativity. I'll be there soon enough as I'm purchasing another on in a week, week and a half tops.
