SDjAYsTAR's 2GS Build
 
Sup everyone, I have a 98 GS300. Just thought I'd share my progress on my ride.
Doing a whole color change from green to starfire pearl white.
Roll front fenders shave rears
Shave the front bumper side markers
Plug the front license plate holes
Restore headlights
New Wheels
Air ride system

The way it used to look. Sorry, can't find a better picture lol

Don't forget under the hood. I love the idea of a color change but I personally wouldn't do it if you're not doing 100% right. New paint looks great though.
