Your car is so HOT it's insane! I love cars in black, particularly the GS. I just wish I could stand the maintenance. Take good care of her! How long have you had your GS for? If it's been a few weeks are there any things (good or bad) that stick out after having owned the car for awhile?

Great photos. Perfect time of day for the shoot. The tinting is a excellent touch for this beautiful car.

My question is have you driven at night and were you able to see to make turns or in your case even drive straight.

It does look nice though

Nice pictures. I am in Scottsdale once a month. I keep an eye out for you.

I wish we could get away with front windshield tint in CA.

Super hot pics, rekindled my desire to upgrade to the '06. I love those 430 rims, especially if I could get them chromed. I tried my hand at doing it below.

Thanks guys,
The tint cost $400 (3M) with windshield. I love chrome wheels to, but in person the Graphite wheels look the best on black to me. If i had any other color they would be chrome.
