Default Opinions, please

What do you think about this front bumper/air dam? And white wheels?
You see I already have the white side trim :flag

I like the front air dam. Not real wild about the side effects but maybe from another angle?
White wheel are sweet :cool:
Maybe along with a Greenwood lower (spare tire cover) and rear valance, who knows..
Think I'd probably paint the whole thing to match though?
:cheers: :flag

Well...you asked...I like the side effects but the front air dam :U . The white wheels...well, some like them, I dont, but they dont suck too bad. Personally I MUCH prefer chrome or polished. But then I wouldnt give up my sawblades for anything Ive seen so far. Sorry, you asked.....

Personally, I've always felt that painting add-ons a contrasting color was a bit much. I think the term used nowadays is r-i-c-e. :rolleyes:

You did ask...

If YOU like it, is all that counts. Don't worry what we think, it isn't OUR car.

White rims look good, air dam and side panels :U

Bottom line, we don't have to like it, only you do :D

I think it looks awesome! I usually don't like ground effects painted an accent color and I have never liked the look of white rims on a car (before now). But that combo goes with the car. I think it looks more intimidating than your average GS.

Looks good (I for one like the front air dam) but I'd leave a GS orginal.
