My names Brian and I just picked up my 2LS a few weeks ago and have enjoyed reading about everyone's problems/fixes/mods....
Some really nice cars here and I look forward to fixing mine up.

Stumbled across my LS when I was looking for a civic or something for a daily driver... never thought I could have something this luxurious.... I love it!

Look for a drop and wheels later this year....

sorry for the cell phone pics

And lose the trailer hitch. Just doesn't belong on such a nice car.

Do you know exactly how you will do this? I have the gold trim on my white LS and I don't like it, either.

it's just the emblems so I figure I'll go out and buy new ones that aren't gold?
Unless there is a way to recolor them silver

someone in the SC forum had a way to buff off the gold to get the chrome look. search gold badges maybe.
