OK members,
I'm going to push out the FAQ / DIY for the 2GS and want to get a couple of new areas added beyond the stuff we have gathered already. I hope to have this published by end of year.
1) For some of these, I'm going to merge the old threads you've seen me post in the past for answers these questions (plus some newer ones) into a single thread for each of the questions.
Wheels? What size do you have and why?
Whats the best color
What's my color called /color code
Wheel photoshop FAQ
springs/shocks install faq (ltuned setup illustrated)
Should I get a GS300 or GS400?
how to take off the door panels?
IS CPO worth it?
Wheel/tire setup pic thread
How do I know if I have HID headlights?
Why are my gauges so dark/light?
What are my big brakes options/issues?
How to use the search tool

Lighting Information (hid, Fog Lights, Etc)
What are the model year revisions for the 98-04 GS?
What are my simple choices to upgrade my sound system?

2) I want to add a section for DIYs in the FAQ. Can you please post links to your favorite 2GS DIY threads you've posted or used successfully over the years here?
Example

3) If you have questions you'd like to see gathered that bug you when they come up over and over again, post here too. I'll gather and merge some threads so that they can create an uber-thread on a topic.
Example 'What percent tint should I get?"
Thanks all for your participation in pulling this together.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!
Jeff, we can either link or just reproduce them here and give you credit (to save your site bandwidth). Just let me know... I know BananaGS;s site runs out of juice after about 1/2 day of hits from CL so I need to PM him as well.
