Beautiful work and stunning pics guys

The front lower design reminds me a little of the Win Racing piece on my former GS but more classy instead of aggressive

I just went through the build thread and it's hard to argue with all the incredible work that went into it but the pinstripe interior is not doing it for me. I know that it looks so good in person but on pictures, not so much. As for the rest, incredible. The work that went to get the wheel fitment right instead of running more camber is truly top-notch. The custom rear and the muffler tips, amazing. The stitching on the seats, wow. Well done, well done.

This is exactly why I switched from a SC to a LS, my plans are to be similar as yours. Love it!

Wow! That's... not my thing by a long shot, but I can sure respect the work. The exhaust panel integration is especially clean and interesting.

Jun and Gato are definitely settinng the high bar on their cars. I love Jun's rims and love the things Gato did to his car. I loved it when Tommi had it but you stepped it up tremendously!! Jun, you rubbing at all? What work you have into the fenders? Just curious, I am new to the VIP thing.....

That's some high $$ rework there

Love the exhaust setup but black vs silver panel would of blend in better but that's just me.

Great job GATO, Junjdm, you're is looking mighty fine too
