Default 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


Some minor body work... Rolled the front fenders and shaved the rear.


At the paint booth with the white base coat sprayed




Returned from the paint shop

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.
