I was hoping for some sun to bring out the color.... next time

Wow, and that's the dirty version????

Your car is so lovely, so pristine, so well put-together. I never tire of looking at it.

One question, why have you never tinted your windows? Just curious.

Looks like JP sideskirts without door caps. Not bad! I know the Rezax are fully forged but have you considered putting the rear wheels in front and rebarreling the front wheels to put in the rear?

Haha, got lazy and just wanted to get some snap shots. Had my interior been black, i would have consider tinting but since it's beige, I thought it looks cleaner and with the color of my car, it stands out better.

Yes, i've contemplated for 2-3yrs doing this conversion and running 11" in the rear but I wasn't ready to spend $1k just for 2 Work lips at that time. Now, if someone finds a better price, than Yes. Now, if i went with another brand lips, i would need to replace all 4 since the Works lip are design differently

Ahh, that's Kevin and my GS. I miss my Iforged wheels, but they would bend if the temparture hit over 90 degrees. But I am still rocking her. She is going in the shop for full detail and maybe new wheels.

Is this the blackcherry? Cheap GS430... http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...ngId=334186234

Thats the 3rd GS430 I've seen for sale with a different style wood wheel vs. door/console trim.. odd.

I agree with you. I like the tint-less look as well. It seems tint was a popular mod in the 90's. I have not yet tinted my car, and am not sure if I will tint at all. I would tint for reduced glare and preservation of the interior, (reducing uva damage). I believe it also helps with cabin temperature control.
