Default **SkankZ 2013 Riviera RED F-Sport**

Hey! Hows it going everyone. Recently purchased a 2013 GS350 F-Sport in Riviera Red. Got lucky and found a great deal on a 2 owner car with only 25,000 miles! I just couldn't say no. Just wanted to share with everyone my progress! Many subtle mods to come. Looking forward to meeting new people in the community and learning a few things. Take a look and enjoy! Thank you!


First off Im a honda guy so i have 2 other project cars. Ones a k24 Civic Hatch, getting ready for a super charger. The second is an Integra Type-R street/track car.




The day I brought her home. First time she's ever seen snow in her life!



I just love the color. More updates to come!

I have suggestions:
Debadge.
Tanabe or Swift spings. Though RWD is a good height already. My AWD looked ridiculous.
15mm and 20mm spacers. Or flusher wheels.
Well visors.
Red rear turn signal decals.
LED trunk light was a huge improvement: so bright.

I so love this car in red.

Complete car picture album.

First things first. Remote start. Decided to go with the MPC plug n play system that utilizes the oem key fob. Easy to install and works like a charm!

Remote start should be on my list too. I used the factory option. Only downside is that it shuts off when you grab the handle...and you have to hit lock four times. Three would have been adequate.

welcome and lovely rides! I can dig the DC2 and EG, on MF10s! superb.

the GS is big change from Hondas and I can relate.
I love my old 90s Honda accord (still have it), albeit not at nice of a show quality as yours but I do enjoy driving small nibble FWDs, esp on track.
no matter what people say, if you grew up with Hondas they will never leave you lol!

ahh this is the same. It shuts off when you open the door. Just a safety thing.
