If it looks good to you, that's all that matters!

Do not like the 3 color combo too busy for my taste. But to each their own.

I agree, it does not look terrible because it is such a great looking car overall. But that color combo is pretty bad IMO. There are so many great choices for combos. That looks more like a mistake.

more pics would be great, particularly if they were rotated the right way. I'm not being a smart a$$, I really want to see the car in all of it's tricolor glory.

I've been thinking a lot about the GS lately, I was put off by the hash marks and the big stupid stripe for a long time.

I've really changed my tunes; it's brash and fun. Very american, and I like how it conflicts with the seriousness of the car. Kind of like a bright orange or green Lambo.

The problem, as I see it, is that people will get the black mirrors and a 4th possible color on the brake calipers and something different for the interior.

Good taste is defined, in part, by what is absent, not what is added. This is obvious when you see some FWD imports with massive spoilers. it says a lot about who we are by what we leave out.

Anyway, the silver color on the GS is special; it goes with nearly any interior, and any color combination. it would be easy to ruin it.

This one looks fu@&ing awesome. Nice job dude. I was putting together a similar one, for shifts and giggles, and decided against the black center stripe because it's too heavy on the car. The white is a winner. Black or red calipers and a black or red interior, and it's great looking either way.

That must be sterling blue. I like it with black wheels.

In my opinion, the white stripe takes away from the look.

In other words: lol just kidding.

I personally don't like the white either. Black would have looked better to me i think

I would have to do without the stinger or hashmarks also. One or the other is fine but not both. IMO.

The grip on those tires is INSANE! (I know... not constructive, it's just my nature to take 'em where I can get 'em)

At first I wasn't to much of a sterling blue fan. But the more I see it, the more I like it, and would like to see one up close and personal. Good job, she's a beauty.

BTW, my opinion is the only one that counts. These nay sayer's were dropped on their heads as a child.
