Beige? i could probably get more material and lace up a set for you. Your car might be too nice for my homemade crap though. Not sure that i am going to keep mine. Maybe learn how to pipe the seam. They are comfortable as all hewl but in the sunlight the tan doesnt match well enough to me

Nice write up. I just purchased my 98 blk/blk gs400 and love it. First thing I did was spend $20 on ebay and fully flat panel l.e.d. my interior. They actually make the kick panel little ones and visors too. The quality of l.e.d.s are great ive fully done my wifes 08 G37 and my 08 Tundra limited

Man, this is the first post I've read & I read it straight through! Not new to forums, but new to this one. Know a few people who post here. Just picked up an 02 GS 300. Loving it already. This thread is inspiring as hell. I want to go get to work on mine right now! Gotta head outta town for a bit though. Definitely think we should do an AZ GTG, cruise, garage day, whatever. Lots of killer rides out here. Dead on about the roads, too. Gotta love AZ if you love modding cars. Keep up the good work on the GS, I wanna see more pics of the '50!...//TJ

Just went through all 18 pgs. It's evident that a lot of time and effort with attention to detail went into everything you did. Fantastic build, love everything you've done to it so far

Just waiting on the Dash. Then the daunting tear down and mending begins.

Your post is amazing and an inspiration.

Would you be interested in sellign those Eibach springs? Im on a very limited budget and want a little drop until I can afford to get coilovers.

Also, what type of polish and wax did you use with your orbital? The results are outstanding!
