I wanted the car to stand out more so I thought Why not make it look different from most other GS's. I also dislike chrome and kind of want to get rid of some. It can also easily be taken off. I can just peel off the plasti dip at anytime i decide to go back to original emblems.

Don't mind me, man...

3 things I hate:

1) Roofs wrapped in vinyl
2) Smoked tail lights except on black cars
3) Blacked out emblems on a white car

You must hate me lol. I thought it would look ricey but it ended up looking quite good. In person I think the car gets a lot of looks with something as simple as that. Vyny wrap, I dont like it either.

I want a OEM carbon fiber grille, if i get that I most likely will get rid of the tail light tints. That grill is hard to find though.
