Couple updates from the GS

too lazy to type so I cut and paste off another forum

Thanks to TLW, got a new grille :D

Forum image

Wired up some functional puddle lights. Goes off when the inside courtesey light goes off

Forum image

Got rid of the bulky spoiler and put on the Mode Parfume spoiler

Forum image

Garson executive curtains (front ones should arrive tomorrow)

Forum image

On monday, it goes in for Green Tint and I'm changing the tails to new JP tails. Then later this week, its off to JPI up in Dallas area for RMM Supercharging. When that comes back, its time to install the Air Runner setup. The final touch will be custom fiberglass trunk, MB turn signals molded into the stock side mirrors.

need to install the 5mm spacers in the back...then both front and rear offsets will be under +20 and should look good with the Air Runners...

I noticed that too. Only some of us in Hawaii though, but I'm sure that'll change.

I knew it would look way better with that grill. After the air it should sit nice. I would remove that vertical bar in the bumper next chance you get..throws off the rest of the horizontal lines. I'd also add chrome pillar trim to the list..I think it would help to set off the wheels more and blend it all together.

Funny you say that, I've had the chrome pillars on order for a few weeks now...hopefully they come in soon.

Don't know the company name. Its a 4 LED chrome pod I saw at a Motorcycle rally here in Austin, but they wanted $40 ea for them. I went home and found them on ebay. Total cost was around $40 for all ten with shipping.

I've been checking out a lot of VIP mags and I think people here spend waayyyyy to much time judging the offset of the wheels instead of the whole picture. Yes, its good to have good fitment, but if you look at recent mags, lots of the "vip" cars are actually tucking like the truck style...anyways my point is we shouldn't put all emphasis on the wheels...there's a LOT more to VIP/VIP style than the offset being "perfect"

When I first got into VIP I was like +15-+25 was pretty aggresive comming from a +38+40 set up.. So like said it depends on personal opinion.

Now my views have changed seeing deeper and deeper lips on wheels just in 1 year.
The deap dish style reminds me off how it used to be in the late 80's- mid 90's. The only
difference is what type of cars you see them on now.. and of course camber and size 19 vs 15.. Wheels use to poke out alot in those days...and now alot of cars you see in mags
look like dub style cars here in the US..no difference what so ever.

I think your car is looking sick and with that green tint you should really look fly.
Post pics when you do your tint.
