What did you do to your GS today?
#1906
Racer
iTrader: (14)
- Removed old 19 year old purple tint and got Suntek HP Blue 50
- Added woodgrain shiftknob and ashtray
- Wired up an LED strip in my OEM 3rd brake light housing using Kyle Harty's idea but in a smaller scale. Bought the strip from superbrightleds.com
- Wash, clay bar, polish, wax
To do:
- Put TTE replica lip back on
- Swap out OEM grill for Abflug or L-Sportline Grill
- Swap out driver seat leather skins since old one has a tear
- Figure out how to fix the rear door that's stuck closed
- Swap chrome trunk bar for OEM one. Need to take the garnish off, but that sucker is stuck on there. Any tips? I got the sides "untaped" but the middle portions are harder to get under. I tried pouring some goo gone, hoping that it would do something, but nada.

....Continued
Next I decided to plasti dip my rear emblems & bumper insert black. Pretty painless process. Sorry for the crappy after pics...was backed up against a wall.
Here you can see the new welded on exhaust tips (ebay). I had the shop cut out 2 resonators as well. The change is almost imperceptible from inside the cabin but there is a nice low grumble outside. No one will mistake it for an aftermarket exhaust.
Also did my axle carrier bushings. Was getting that intermittent clunk / squeak. I think its mostly resolved.
Here are some quick pics I took in our parking garage.Wheels are by Moda. They came off of an RX and I got them for a steal on craigslist. Tires are 245/45/18 dunlop wintersport M3. Rear fenders are shaved and spacers all around:
PS Any of you guys in the Philadelphia area? It would be great if members could meet up and drive each others cars to get a feel for different combinations of mods, etc
