Car looks very good. Any close up pics of the brushed treatment on the trim?

I remember looking at these Linea Corse, but thinking that they where to skinny to fit the fender wells of a GS. Props, sporty, yet elegant

Great job.

I heard the chrome trim is difficult to remove. How did you "brush treat" the trim?
Thanks...

Very clean looking indeed. I can't stand the fat chrome lips and stretched tire look. I like the side wall to be flush with the fender and straight up the rim, no stretch. Not to mention the tire doesn't perform at its best when its stretched.

Nice wheels, if I had a GS though I would do something similar with 20s and coilovers.

Very nice. Wheels look great. This makes me wish I got a black 430 now.
