Thanks! Progress will slow down here in a bit. Maintenance and little things here on out. I like little details.

Thank you sir. It did not require any fender work. The front rubbed on the plastic fender lining on harsh bumps. I stiffened up the front and problem solved. The rear doesn't rub at all. I do plan to run spacers in the rear, so I will probably have to roll the fenders in the future.

Car looks clean! Black pearl emblems would set your car off perfect, maybe even wrapping the roof in black ??

Black chrome emblems, I'll probably do them this weekend, if I have a chance. I don't think I'll ever wrap anything on my car. Maybe laminix the headlights clear to prevent the hazing.

Thank you sir. The process sped up faster than expected with the cracked wheel. Now a few subtle mods and call it a day.

It's amazing how much difference a nice drop on our cars make. Looking good so far man. Another GS rescued from a previous owner with extremely questionable tastes in car mods lol.

Your mods have made a huge difference already. My car underwent a few different transformations before it came around. Looks like you already know what you are doing for sure. Keep up the good work.

Haven't kept up with this thread, but then again the progress has slowed down as promised. I painted the rear emblems black pearl as clos430 had suggested, but they came out a little darker than I wanted them to. I will have to re-do them, although in my opinion, they don't look bad. I found a pic that shows her rear end. Next to my first love(Boosted 5th Gen Maxima)




I purchased a BOOM-BOOM system (2 Kenwood 12" subs), which I had installed, a TTE replica front lip and a roof spoiler which I have yet to install. I'm waiting for some funds to become available so I can order an OEM front bumper and a Junction Produce replica trunk spoiler, paint them all(color match the rest of the car) and have it all installed.

A pic from the 2nd Annual Paul Walker Cruise/Meet here in San Antonio TX



As you can tell in the last pic i cracked my bumper when I made someone's Chihuahua my new bumper sticker, hence the reason for the new bumper, plus I've been wanting to get rid of the billet grille.

A rolling shot.
