You know I'm gonna give my opinion but I think you are a really cool guy and I don't wish to offend.
Now that that's said, I like the ride. I'm sure it's gonna really pop with new wheels. knowing you they are gonna be aggressive as heck.
However, I'm not a big fan of the visors and pillows. They seem too rice to me. I know it's a vip thing but I'm not into vip. I like looking at it though and it looks like you are building a vip show car.
I like the de-chroming stuff. That's cool. I think the car needs a full kit because the AC front is so low.

Over all it's a hot car. I'm sure it will go through more evolution so keep up the good work.

Well, lookey here. Pimp has elevated the GS to one of the hottest on the site. Very nice wheels. Not as aggressive as I thought they would be. Good work...with the Works.

Thanks bro, I don t want to change the bodylines or run anymore negative camber, these sit right where the Vossens did, i didn t want to go more aggressive I just wanted the wheels to be built different so I could get the fat lip on the front. I don t rub at all front or back and if I go anymore aggressive in the rear Ill be into the fender it clears by about 1-2 mm
