Default There may have been a MURDER??

Finally got my car back from the body shop last week. Killed all the Chrome!!

VIP Edition Body kit Custom fit 2008...(rear lip widened 6" & molded to rear bumper Front bumper needed a lot of filling in gapped areas around the lights, Side skirts fit no problems)
Carson Tuning grille
Wald roof spoiler
Custom made metal Fenders

Painted all moldings, emblems, and chrome gloss black
Smoked turn signals & reverse lights
headlights cracked open & painted satin black housing
Roof gloss black
lips of the wheels gloss black.

And I finally lowered the monster truck with eibach pro-kit... imho rides smoother than stock and much sportier...

Looks good... for some reason though, the rear end looks a little tall... almost bubbleish...

Not exactly my style, but I like it.

VIP Edition...who makes that? I can see the front and rear bumpers hang lower than the sideskirts.

this car would've been perfect if you left some parts alone

is that a custom rear kit? first guess would be a LS460 exhaust retrofit but opening seems bigger

i think a lot of the mods you did are very, very sweet looking!!

i think the front fenders are cool and although i would never even come close to cracking open my headlights and painting them (thats insane by the way).......i think the blacked-out lenses and painted chrome looks dope!!

And im been a fan of the black roof since the first time i saw it. i just dont know how it would look unless you have a really dark rear window?

As for the kit.......to be quite honest, i dont like the way ANY body kit looks on cars unless its extremely subtle. the body kit look is just to "Honda-ish" for my taste. but i assure you, way more people give me crap about the way i feel about body kits then agree with my thoughts so im more than likely the minority.

all in all: i like it! good job.

Man I love the body kit, especially the LS type exhaust molded into the rear bumper. Nice. I am not feeling the wheels. With a kit like that I would definetely do a set of 22's( or even 21's to be strange and different)

from these pictures, it doesn't look like the rear bumper is well made. kinda crooked.

but i've always wanted to see LS muffler tips on a GS.

is that a whole new rear bumper?

Have to give you some props and can say you pushed the envelop and did it your way/style. I like some of the mods like the roof with the spoiler in black and yes the headlamps were ballsy. I think the wheels may be holding it back a bit imo. But congrats!

I like the look, especially the exhaust molds.
