I do not mean to sound harsh but i think it was a big waste of money. It is a luxury car and not a civic. If I were you, I would spend the extra 4k and get the ML package and the rims... I think chrome on any sedan with the exception of omething like a Chrysler 300 makes the car look like an immetation luxury car. Agagin i would spend the money for the rims on something... i don't even know but something else. Again, I really do not mean to sound like a A**hole but it is just my opinion. There are two Lexus GS' on my street (the previous generation) and one is "pimped" out with chrome and tinted windows and stuff and the other one is pretty much stock and looks much more luxurious.

I do have the ML system, what are you exactly talking about? I shouldn't upgrade my car because it cheapens it up? Chrome is a preference, to each his own, but to say it makes it look imitation luxury explain why Bently's and the likes come with stock chrome? A chrysler 300 is an imitation luxury sedan yet you say it should have chrome? You also say I should have spent the 4k on ML and the rims, do you mean the stock 18's? I am really having trouble deciphering your post, it contradicts itself. Also you say "if I were you", well if you were me you would have gotten a 350, and then you would have done exactly what I did. Why is there always someone on these forums who has no real opionion (" spend the 4k on somethin not sure what"), who has to be the , oh I am not even going to waste my time.

Just a little update of the 95% finished project, the paint on the engine cover and TV enclosur is color shifting it really looks good in person the pics just don't do it justice. The speakers on the trunk lid and the screen only come on when the trunk is open ( for some tail gate parties) also there is a override switch incase I dont want it to come on at all. I also got a switch installed that allows me to turn off the center (stock navi) screen while allowing the other screens to remain on, just incase I get pulled over LOL

I don't care what you think of my car and I am sure you could care less what I think of yours or you in general. Also telling someone about your education, online for that matter, and even feeling the need to dis-close that info makes me wonder. I have a theory and it has to do with a small ***** but that is for some other time. Thank you for your opinion i appriciate it. That's funny you said that the conti gt doesn't look like its about to show up for a meet in a parking lot, because I took my dad's to a local import meet last night, consisting of mainly Honda based products. Wanna know the first thing most civic owners there said? I like those rims, I wonder if they would fit my civic?

I am not done with the system either, there is a x-box 360 going in witht he internals re-located to the bottom shelf in the glove box but the system will still appear to be mounted in the trunk(opposite side of sub in another custom fabbed enclosure) then the installer is putting the wireless controller "eyes" behind the front vents and some in the trunk and in the back seat area so I can have 4 different people playng at once all on different screens. Also tomorrow the compu star paging alarm/starter is going in ( we are not sure if the starter part will work yet) and it is getting tinted (limo on the back 5 windows) and no tint for the front as it is illegal here in Saskatchewan and the police have nothing better to do that to ****** with you. I think the black interior will give the illusion that there is tint on the front ( I hope anayways).
