Don't let the lip sizes fool you guys, he has a lot of fender work front and back.  The car looks sick in person.  He's nuts for driving like that on coilovers (for now atleast)

car looks good. i love that color.

Dope ride... You've done a great job with it in the last few months... Props to you...

i notcied the fitment on this one in the bbq thread. s**t looks so good from the back i wanna slap it and watch it jiggle.

I like the rear camber bro.

great start!!

great camber!  set up is very clean. the old school grill doesnt match the 01 tails thou.

Thank you very much, but keep your eyes peeled I got some surprises under my sleeves in the upcoming months.

nice fitment and love the color.

Car looks great - can't wait to see it with a kit! (I assume that is on the mods list)   :)

My favorite color on the 2GS, but I might be accused of being biased...

This car sucks monkey balls :giggity:

It's come a long way Vlad. Dam i miss my GS :sad:

beautiful car man

Thank you, your car has been one of my inspirations Bob!! Yes the kit is on the agenda but it probably wont get done for a while.  Its not a priority for me, I have way too many plans and not enough money :signdammit:.  But I'm not in a rush so it will get done and more.

LOL, thanks for the hate bud.   It wouldn't have come as far as it had if I didn't have your assistance and all the Gotham members pushing me to step my game up.  Dont worry about it Carlos in a year or so I think that you'll pick up another 300 and we'll be playing with turbos again :turbonoes_3:

Thank you very much for all of the positive comments.

A video showing how the AutoCoutures were sitting before roll and pull,  The right side was actually rubbing the quarter.  This was back in April.

The way she is sitting right now, the front has been modified to come down lower and will be doing more work to come down even lower.  Wheels are in the works and should be done by next season if finances permit.

Looks like a winner to me... nice work!
