Default I picked up another GS for a daily

My Beast should be done in the next 2 weeks, in the meantime I picked up another GS for my daily driver. It is the LAST color choice that I would want initially, but now that I have it I actually am digging it. Plus I couldnt pass up the deal. Im about to show ya'll how to make Imperial Jade Mica look gooood.........give me a few weeks, gotta make sure I have the funds to pay for my Beast Mode GS first!

Im gonna keep this one nice and simple....nice drop, nice wheels, and a front lip.....done deal....at least thats what I say now.

I gotta say, this car is crazy clean, ecspecially for a 13 ear old car. Not a single door ding, just a few rock chips on the front of the hood.

I hesitated for a week on pulling the trigger on this car because of the color. Ive actually never seen one this color in person. I actually like it, at least way more than I thought I would.. Trust me, I will make it look good either way.

As far as the other one, its been a long time coming.....should be real soon, and should be well worth the wait.

no kidding .......i have the RMM rear bumper and skirts Ive been trying to sell, thinking about throwing it on this car with a nice lip to match up with it. I wanted to keep this one stock bodied, but I will surely use the RMM stuff before I give it away.

I think I got a pretty damn good deal on this car too.....I paid less for this car than I did for my HRE's on my other GS!

Good score. It does look clean.
YOU are going to have a hard time going back and forth from "Breast Mode" GS to this one..
