I cant think of the post, but someone posted pics of it a while back, I think the guy sold the car to his brother and was kicking himself up and down the street about it! I remember the car having a wood kit as well. If I can find it, I'll post for ya!

I had a 98 blue/black gs400. I got so many compliments on it. I sold it in august, but I am going to get a gs430 in 2 weeks black/black. I wish that the 430 was available in that color. It is by far the best color for the gs.

HAHA.. Thats funny.. Nah my little bro is taking good care of the '00 SBM on Black GS4 and when he gets finished with a few more things it will look even better.. Very rare colour combo took a 4 month order back in '99 to pull that one off.. As for the wood trim it I got it thru the dealership who uses a company up here called Midas Custom Trim.. In my eyes makes the black interior not so stark but some folks disagree with me..

Ice,

When you get the car back today i'll come over and take peek at the work the guys did.. Is dad bringing his car into them too??

The blue is rare but I think that if they made 3% of gs's in that color 50% of them landed in new york.

the reason I say that is, because I see a fare amount in and around nyc. I remember when I purchased mine I waited 4 months for it and the dealer said that 3% were made in that color. When I travel to other cities I hardly see that color.
