who's GSs in Rowland Heights?
Saw 2 pretty nice GSs today:
1) Sunday afternoon around 5pm. In the parking lot of IKEA in City of Industry. Silver GS with RMM emblem, Platinum edition 7 spoke wheels, and I think L-Sportline spoiler.
2) Sunday night around 9pm. On 60-Freeway going Eastbound. Between Hacienda Blvd and Fullerton Rd, a black GS with platinum edition emblem, 2001 taillights, some sort of full-replacement front bumper (can't see because it's too dark), and all white lights (white lowbeam or HIDs, white inner driving lights, and white fog lights). I was in my friend's 3.2 TL and apparently they were racing for like 20 seconds.
Who's GSs are those? Very nice!

2) I have seen so many black GS's around souped up
in the Heights area that it is no longer rare around here,so i probably could of seen that one too.

I think it was my car, I was racing with a Acura TL for very short time(wife and kid in the back seat) on 60FWY . Hope we can try it next time again, without wife and kid.

GlobeCLK,
Is your friend's Acura TL type S? when I look at the rear view mirrow the car pick up pretty fast, I don't even know I can beat him or not? by the way, the car looks very nice.

it was pretty fun. What kinda front bumper do you have? And what kinda wedge bulb did you use? Looks very nice indeed!My friend's TL is a regular 2000 3.2TL. Yah his car does pick up pretty fast on the freeway, he was in 3rd gear
We didn't know if you had a 300 or 400 or 430, but seems like you weren't serious at all
My friend tried his best and it felt pretty fast. Now I know your wife and kid are in the car, that's why you didn't totally chew on my friend nice car.

Thanks, I have the LSportline front bumper, and I am using the M-6 for my wedge bulb.
by the way, I have a GS430 with the sidemarker install, maybe is dark thats why you think is the platinum edition emblem.

Do you have any pictures of it in day time? It looks nice and clean.

I had the fortune to ride in gwu's car and test drove it also this past weekend, it's simply a rocket on wheels!
It sounds great, I love the low grrawal with the Ltuned exhaust, and a simple tap on the gas, the thing just flies.., not sure how else to describe the easy pick up of the car. With the sound of the intake combine with the exhaust, you definitely know it's coming behind ya!
Handling wise, it's as good as 540i if not better at this point. Now I know what amazing handling is compare to my own car with Ltuned suspension and TRD sways.
It's simply amazing!!

so you drilled into the metal, did your wiring yourself, and popped the marker in?

I would not recommend anybody using this sidemarker, most of aftermarket sidemarker just need to drill a hole and popped the marker in, but I have to cut and drill to a rectangler shape which almost same size as this sidemarker in order to fit. It took me couple hour to do each side.
