the hps intake cost that much? I thought they cost around 170?

Nasrul3698

U$D 170 plus the expensive 65 dollar shipping to malaysia

Nasrul3698

Thanks very much! Finally someone that uses it. Well I bought the right one then

And btw, hows the sound of the engine? Are there any noticeable performance gains?

Aron9000

I like your color. Its either very rare in the US, or not even available here. First red 4th gen GS I've seen.

Nasrul3698

Thanks yeah i rarely see this colour too in Malaysia, but theres several in this forum i guess

kaminare

Nice mods, car looks great. I bought those exact same led rear lights ... Had to really hack up that area to get them to fit. A lot fatter than stock reflectors

Nasrul3698

Thanks really? :/ i guess ill send it to the shops to do it

Boomin
