Default Black on black

Took some pics of the GS with the new wheels. Let me tell you guys, I have been getting lots of looks and mad props with the black on black thing. I didn't know it was this nice. Never really liked it too much. I did this just because I wanted a change from chrome plus my wife wanted the same wheels I have on the G35 and I wanted to make them opposite color. I'm loving it. Even the wife is starting to like it. It's classy, sporty and sort of sinister. Having trouble uploading pics from my laptop but here are a few.

Good job Reg.... I think it looks great without taking away class from the car.. I think they will grow on your wife once she sees the car everyday.

Will the G35 wheels fit on the GS?

I don't know man i really like the blk on blk... Great Choice...

Nice ride - looks great w/ those wheels...

I'd opt for lowering to make it complete.... that would be the killer look IMO.

Default More blackness

Here's more pics. No plans to lower it. This is my wife's daily and she rides passengers. Don't want any rubbing. If I do, I need a very subtle setup, like the h-techs I have on the G35. I am really digging this black on black thing (I know I keep saying it).

"Reggiek",
Yours is the best looking GS I've seen. Honestly, its a nice car but the 3rd Gen GS lacks "soul" to me. Somehow you have found this car's soul!

I use Meguiers (sp) carnauba wax every other month, sometimes sooner if needed. I use Kit soap with carnauba in it.

I think you need to take it back from your wife!

That thing looks great.
