Awww I'm sorry, had no idea about your situation..........So its only in HI that there's no navi? I was thinking perhaps there was a base GS sans navi a la IS that I never saw lol.

Just my opinion, but I think that Black GS looks simply Gross. It reeks of a pimp-mobile. I'll take the stock GS any day.

Work Varianza T1S. Was looking at those rims for my s2k, but in the end decided against it. Looked too weird on a s2k, but it looks good on the GS!

I price checked some Work wheels on this Japansese website i found and they were $2500-3K for a set of 20" wheels with tires. Im not sure if thats right or not but it seemed reasonable. That website didnt mention anything about shipping though so????? your guess is as good as mine really. They make a couple sick-*** wheels though for sure. i gotta try to find a place i can get a quote from somewhere in Cali.

It's all in good fun. We go to Oahu every year and stay at a beach house on the North Shore so we are very aware of the need for a nav system in Hawaii. It would be ok if the streets were laid out like normal places i.e. 1st street and Main etc. When you have streets like Kauholokahiki St, Papaiola Dr, Kalanianaole Way it's simply not possible for a visitor to get around. In the time it takes to read the street sign, you have already passed through the intersection.

We usually go with Hertz for our rental because we like having the Neverlost system.
