Thanks that's what I was going for. A classy look since its a luxury car. Only thing that is chrome is the lip. The face is a machined finish.

Nothing too aggressive for a daily driver. What does everyone think?

Wheels are alright - I could take them or leave them.
Not liking the bodykit bits, least of all the front chin - adds nothing but makes it look fat/bloated.
Actually the more I look at it again as I write this, the more I feel it ruins the car, which is beautiful in that white.

It's kinda dangerous to ask people what they think. You might hear stuff you don't like.

I like the wheels but not on this car. I think they are too tuner for a GS. But if thats the style you want that cool. Problem with that is there are other kits that are more tuner than this. No flow.

Speaking of the kit, I'm not crazy about it but it's not bad. Would be better on a black car. It is kinda bulky.

Here's the deal, lots of people don't like my kit either. I don't give a crap. All that matters is for you to like it.

Haha. I like how you described it as a dangerous question. I don't mind if people don't like it. Just sharing my completed ride. Just as there are cars here that I have seen that I don't care for. I just loved this kit when I first saw it on the actual Ings+1 car and it was in white. I wanted high quality JDM that is one piece forged so I got the Volk Racing G2s which I think is a classier model already. Thanks for the comments.

You're pretty cool.

I forgot to add that although your mods are not my first choices for the GS doesn't mean it isn't nice looking. It is a nice ride.

If this question was directed at me, it's a full Ings+1 lip kit.

Additionally, does anyone know if this will work on the 460?
