Default Thought I'd Share My Progress

UPDATE PAGE 5. 6/8/12

This last month I did a couple new things to my GS since I havent done much to it, So first off I was on the process of replacing the spark plugs when i noticed they had oil on them, So then I decided to replace the valve cover gaskets while I was at it, here's some pix...







So after cleaning the valve covers they ended up looking really dry so I decided to paint them black





How they looks when its all finished, Not a big difference but looks cleaner



After a fellow member (Not sure if he wants to be named on here) gave me a roof wing and I put it on the next morning...



A couple days later I decided to get the 06 Gs wheels.





I also got rid of the wing.







My next mods are spacers and to paint my tte lip that has been collecting dust for the last year.. Let me know what you guys think

Special Thanks to Tashmo Automotive

The roof spoiler went well with the tail. What kind of roof spoiler is that?

Your car is coming along nicely. I like it better without the rear wing. Keep up the good work.

Looks super clean man keep it up!

EDIT: Clearing your side markers would give it a really really clean look also. Unless you like the orange.

Looking good. Major difference when you took off the wing, IMO.

Very odd it looked black until the one photo in the sunlight. I'm thinking of taking off my spoiler as well to put my RMM on what are you going to do about the 3rd break light? Some states it's required. Without the spoiler you're 1 short...

GS is coming along nicely... What did you use to cover the holes on the trunk lid after you removed the spoiler?

If you look at the back, you can see that he has a 3rd brake light on the rear deck.
