I haven't had chance to take new pics but its about the same. I just can't wait until I can start modding!....
If you want more pics, let me know and I will try to take new ones.

Well, here's a couple pics of mine I took the other day.
Still can't decide which spoiler to get...any suggestions? Something that'll match with the L-Sportline kit...hopefully the wife won't notice the difference when I get it installed. She wasn't too happy about the exhaust. I know she's gonna kill me if I get a body kit!

Hey SICK, conquestador of the white GS's what's the difference between the parchment and the others if you don't mind me asking
Crystal white-more pure white (like a fridge). It has flakes as well, but the car will always look white. The flakes show better in this paint after a good wax.
Parchment white-more of a flesh (think very, very light peach/off-white) blend. It looks white in the shade and fleshy in the sun (the opposite of pearl white). Fabulous color, imo.
My fav white color is called Pearlessence. It was a color used in certain 993 Porsche 911s. It looks STUNNING in the shade or overcast (white colors take the best picks in overcast, i.e the sun out, behind a cloud, hint hint hint)...The Pearlessence is a pure white bleneded with a very light baby blue. It looks incredible. When I get real money, I'm getting that color code and painting my cars that color.

And as for the Crystal White, yes it does look awesome after a fresh waxing. I love the way mine looked at Nopi. I had clayed and waxed it two days before. It looked great.

I didn't realize that Parchment was available on the GS; I always thought it was exclusive to the LS430. Is it a 3-stage pearl paint like Pearl Diamond White and White Gold Crystal (Crystal White)? I'm assuming it is; based on looking at LS's that color in parking lots on sunny days.
Then there's Sand Dollar Pearl, which is a much "peachier" off-white. I think it was only available on the GX (maybe the '03 LX, as well?), but replaced by Blizzard Pearl, which to me looks like Crystal White.
