My VIP style transformation nearly complete

Months ago I was a newbie to VIP styling and VSC and came to you for suggestions and opinions. I have been pretty quiet lately but the project is nearly complete. What do you guys think? Guys thanks for your help.

i think the end tanks on your intercooler are TOO bling. but otherwise, looks like a step in the right direction.

There is quite a bit of chrome on the car so I thought the polishing was the way to go with the intercooler. Thanks for the response.

i like the polished intercooler...it was a show car.  Showcars need *bling*.  Car has definitely transformed from the lambo doors and graphic paint.  I like it.  
 
though, do you  think they pulled the rear maybe a bit too much?

The rears looks a little tucked.  Maybe add some spacers for the rear?

Thanks man. I am not an expert on what the fender fitment should look like. But I will say that I am very happy with how it turned out. This was the shops first ever VIP style fender mod. Plus I love the fact that I could drive with it all the way down so if I blow a bag or something I am not grounded.

Those 40 or 35 series tires? I think you need a smaller side-wall/less width so you can get some stretch out of them. I agree on the polished intercooler, I think it suits it just fine. 
 
This thing sure is different now then it used to be!

35 series tires.

Looks dope

That blue really pops.  Can't wait to see her all finished up Mark!!

those are some chunky tires!

[QUOTE=PROJECTGS3;348747]those are some chunky tires![/QUOTE]
yea that front tire looks fat forreal..
good car tho. lots of work.

Ok its out of paint and body and on to audio/video and the rest of what needs to be done. Yes front stance is included in that. Over all I am happy with it though can not wait until its finished.
 
Mods can you add the pics so that you can view them without opening the attachment? I can't do it from my flickr I just get an X.

very nice

Turned out really nice!  I can't wait to see the front even with the back!

looks great need to work on your stance a bit more ... POke ..:biggthumpup:

I say try to drop down a tire size or 2 in the front. Profile of the tire is pretty fat. And see if you can go lower in the front when you go all the way down. It looks a little off with the rear ticking and the front not going down as low. Just my 2 cents. 

Other than that the car looks really dope.

so far i love what u have done, i'ma have to agree with the comments regarding the front of the ride, needs to be lower. the rear i'm liking but i think it would look better with a lil more camber and a small spacer. that way the lip is flush with the body. those two things will def have yur car sitting phat phat phat.  but i'm not only here to criticize, i'm here to give u props. Good job. :biggthumpup:

Yeah the front end needs to be addressed and we do have a plan for that but that will wait until after it is done with audio/video. Thanks for the comments guys.

i love the drastic change of looks man!

nice; what color is that by chance?

[QUOTE=JMAX;350609]nice; what color is that by chance?[/QUOTE]
 
Its House Of Kolors Kandy Cobalt Blue.

looks great

After a long wait I finally got the GS to an event. The audio is not finished yet but at this point we can tell what it is going to be.
 
VIP or NOT VIP that is the question!?
 
Thank you for all of your help, information and support.

The car over all looks great But its missing the WOW factor.
 
Needs some  better Fitment ..

KP, he may not have the stupid camber that the fan boys are into, but his fitment isn't too far off.  Sucks that they did the bodywork and could have made fitment on point instead of spacers though

Agreed, but it's quite clean, and I love that color.

Nice work, you cant go wrong with Weds. Sickness

Got a chance to see the ride in person this weekend and it definitely has come an extremely long way. I'd definitely have to disagree with the missing the wow factor. In person it is amazing. May not be what all the other VIP GS guys are doing but that's what makes it great. Keep up the good work Mark. :biggthumpup:

-Smitty

the last pic in that set is dope.  i live right by that spot.  been wanting to catch that background myself.
 vip label or not,  if you brought your car to japan ,im sure they would show mad respect.

I've seen the car in person and it is flawless.

i love the blue. nice coming along!

This looks great! Not the same ol boring gs's we see day in and day out.

im loving it

i like it... alot

Thank you guys for your comments and compliments. I am also open to suggestions on improvements and getting the stance just right.

i thought it was body work first, then rebarrel the wheels to fit that now days lol. Use to be make wheels fit the car. Or maybe i am doing it wrong lol

buy wheels, make them fit...that's how I roll...  

If you do bodywork first, wheels don't fit, need to flare and redo bodywork?

Oh, I meant putting on spacers do body work, take spacers off and wheels off get wheels redone, fit, and drive lol

i dig it a lot, reminds me of kooihnors (?) sc

agreed!!
 
and mark dont worry so much if its vip or not, jus go with what u like, everyone has a different vision

i don't see this looking out of place next to other vip cars, that's the test for me. :biggthumpup:

I've never been a fan of blue cars but u changed my mind. Car came out dope.

Man that shits nice :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:

Looks great, especially now that the paint has been smoothened out :biggthumpup:

Reminds me of that blue Russian 161 Aristo from a couple years back. What do you got under the hood, dynoed it yet?

[SIZE="3"]I demand under hood pics lol[/SIZE]

No real changes under the hood. It was filthy under there so I left it closed. Dyno'd at 305HP a few years back on 9 pounds of boost. Being a whimp with the boost.

I saw it this weekend at IA, along with a couple others that have posted in here. All very clean, yours and the maroon one were very nice. There was another GS there in the same area as you guys that was clean too. I am thinking of going the LS route, I have an Evo IX I gotta sell first but then I want to go into a VIP LS430. Problem is I'm in Columbus, Ga. and there is no help for me down here. I need some VIP "smart" guys to assist.... Definitely tight ride though, well done. I snapped a pic or two of it, and much rather take pics of this anyday than the plain Bentley you were a couple cars from, lol.
