Looking good! Can't wait to see them on the car. I'm also doing my retro as we speak. Pretty exciting
Did you use new headlights ?

Nice man! It's very exciting. I haven't been this excited about some parts in a while, haha. They're actually used headlights, but the lenses will be re-cleared so they will be new looking.

Haha get on it man! Probably one of the best upgrades for our cars no doubt. He's not a member though, just a guy I found that's in NY and works directly with TRS so he gets all parts from them. Been doing retros for about 20 years now if I remember correctly, so he's definitely the guy to get this project done through.

Haha which interests do you mean? Suspension wise, wheels, aesthetics? Kind of lost me

UPDATE:

Like I said earlier.. I wanted this to be a bit different than your standard retro... Voila, halo ring as the turn signal. Once it's sealed back up you won't even know the halo ring is there, but when it lights up its gonna be bright as hell!







Almost done.

Thank you sir! We're deciding on a lens now. I had him do a light smoke on one and he has the 2003 sport design lens that I could possibly choose from also so that's where we're at ATM.

Yes sir. He's doing mine and he finished up a friend I sent to him last week also.

were both young and want to hold it down with the big guys in the game.
I just got my a couple weeks ago though so it's still in the early stages but i just got my insurance check in
gonna get my suspension sorted and wheels and then move on to the little things,

Ah I got you! Congrats my dude on getting the GS. They're awesome man I love mine. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but definitely knock out suspension first as ours sucks *** lol...

So retro is finished.. We went with a light smoke lens.







Should ship out in a couple of days.

Does that turn signal still work or is it now just another light source?
That would never be possible in here.

Looks like the low beams are facing outwards but I guess that's just a matter of alignment and fine tuning. I have retros too but they're no where near as cool as those. Lack of talent and experience I think..
