Got some 3M 1080 Carbon fiber Vinyl wrap in the mail yesterday so today I started wrapping some of the interior trim pieces. This is my first time using it. So what do you guys think? I think its going to look really good with the new door panels....

Just a quick update of some of the small things I have been doing.

Finally got my keyless entry working





Got an Aristo strut tower brace and had it powdered coated black to match the car.





Upgraded the sway bar bushings to polyurethane

Currently working on a rear BBK. CTS-V calipers and IS-f rotors

Finally got around to finishing the rear BBK today. I had planned to run the Supra TT rear brake setup but the prices were just high for what you get so I did some research and came across this setup. Its a combination of IS-F rotors and Brembo rotors.

Hello TrackMK111

I have been following your thread and the progress you made on your baby. I am in the process of doing the same thing. I absolutely LOVE the stance your GS makes with those tires. Please let me now the rims size and tire size for the front and rears. Also, did you have to do anything with the springs in the back? Or will the rims and tires ALONE give that nice look. Please respond. Thanks again for your time and keep up the mods....
