They should have sold this instead of the IS-F. Yes, its a GS not an IS, I know...

Not really feeling it, parts of it are nice, like the wheels, brakes, color, stance; yet other parts are not so nice, like the rear shaved handles, the front bumper just doesn't look right and the rear quarters are just a bit too dramatic for that style car.

Sweet ride! I didn't notice the rear door handles were shaved at first... I think it would look good with the fronts gone also.

I'd say the rear handles were shaved just so that they didn't break up the clean line of the fender flare. It looks like the handle would sit right on the flare.

Honestly, I didn't even notice it either until Timmy pointed it out

Not sure I like the front but other than that it looks good. Something about the paint looks a little off too.

Although the paint reminds me of my stainless steel kitchen appliances I still think it looks great...

I like the film they put on the tail lights to match the paint.
So is the LS next?

Rest of it looks hot though!

Nice! Something about the stance I don't like and about the paint. Not bad though!

I like everything except the front. It literally looks alien. the tread design is cool though.



^lol they put some sort of matte coating on the tail lights to make it look like the paint

I've been in love with GS's since the 2gen came out in 98. My next car will most likely be a white 06 GS430 in 2-3 years.

Don't feel the love for the front bumper or the tail lights on the current GS - the integrated exhaust on the rear bumper is pretty cool though and agree that they should've put that on the ISF.

I don't like the matte paint either. Flat black is nice, but this gray stuff...
Depending on the lighting, it mostly looks like someone went crazy with many cans of Krylon.
