I certainly don't miss parking on NYC streets. The rear bumper of my previous silver GS looked something like yours.

I have an 01 430, and I think you are right because this was made for the 98-00 300/400. They don't fit right on my car at all, there are gaps and the shape is wayyy off...

You can chack this one out on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-03...Q5fAccessories

Goof luck!

ohk now we goin somewhere. i've done mechanicals almost identical to yours(drop, struts, arms). i suggest getting the 3 daizen kits done also. Makes a HUGE difference in handling. I like the stock grill and headlights better. Btw, i might take your tips when you get the 4".

How did you total your last gs?

My handling is pretty good I must say... But maybe that is because I still have the stocks on... And you mean the daizen bushing kits? I think I need a lil schooling on that... Not really familiar with it... I know this must have been answered already on here... lol... Help guys!

Oh and I am thinking of going with a JDM grille now... That's it after my body work is complete... I am done... lol

Don't get the covers, get the shell replacement.

Nice to see you removed the chrome trim around the lights. Next project, I reccommend repainting the bumpers. Nice car though, I love 2nd gen. GS's with the factory spoiler.
