Still waiting for wheels so during the wait thought I should tackle the side mirrors. I really liked how the Mercedes side mirrors looked so ordered some off of ebay to try to retrofit it. Vlad has the same on his 2nd Gen GS so can't take credit for the idea.

First attempt:

The white portion is the covers cut out from the Mercedes style side mirrors and the black is the GS covers.

Second one came out a lot better.

Far from done and not 100% happy with them but will finish them and then see how I like it.

In retrospect I think I should have done something a little more simple like the ford focus side mirrors

Or the Audi A6 side mirros

Something a little more simple and subtle, more to my taste I guess but will see how the finish product turns out.

I really liked how the LS bumper looked on my 2nd gen GS and I thought it would flow really well with the #rd Gen GS as well. The 2013 rear bumper has the tips on the bumper too but I wanted a smoother transition. For testing I ordered an LS460 bumper, cut it up and put it up against the factory bumper. The Ls bumper is almost a foot wider but I really liked how smooth the transitional lines were. So yeah ordered another GS bumper, cut that up and started on the conversion.

Far from done but a step closer, will post pics once it gets done.
