Going to be picking up a SILVER 2002 GS300 SD in 2 days, black interior with navi, can any one tell me if the badges on the rear of the car have pins on them or is it just adhesive? I want to remove them but do not want to have holes in my car, i cant find any information online, thanks

Thought id throw mine in the mix. Sorry for the late night bad quality pic. <br/><br/>Owned this thing for a few years now. Just put on some machined tourmaline alloy wheels on. Chromed out the grill. Put HIDs in. Changed ball joints and tie rods. <br/><br/>Need to get some coilovers next, but before that gotta get this CEL fixed, might gotta change the charcoal canister. Oh and odometer and speedometer aint working. Lol. Other than that, this thing thing still runs great.<br/>Cant wait to do more things to her.

Brought the tourmalines out!

Wanted to see those on a clean silver GS.
Hopefully I'll catch you around the area. I know that parking lot well.

Front has no/minimal stretch rear has a slight stretch the reason that happened because my front did have a stretch just like my back but when I changed the fronts after they wore out I went up in size and waiting till I need new rears before I step the size up on those.

Did you have to pull fenders,or is it just rolled and shaved?

I will say that the front needs a decent roll and the rear will need to be shaved and slight pull. I decided to pull mine after I started rubbing but some body damage was already done so my fenders are a little beat up but I'm going to take my car off the road this summer address all my body issues and repaint the whole car.

03 Silver gs430. Just installed the LS brakes I had sitting around for 10 months...

I installed a set of megan rca's last year with the coils so I didn't shave the calipers. Also removed the dust shield rather than bending it back

And one from the last snow storm we had a few weeks ago. Took a break from doing donuts on a deserted Kelly Dr. in Philadelphia to take a pic. To anyone NOT running snow tires...DO IT, I cannot recommend them enough. My dad was driving around in 2 feet of snow the next day in his Honda Odyssey with blizzaks.
