Don't be shy Bit, I've seen after pics of your GS. I'm sure a little chronology would warrant quite a few "ooohs" and "ahhhhs".

The transformation of these cars are always just breathe taking to see....Heres my transformer.

She was bought in Dec of 2001and stayed stock except for the 01+ tails and Wings West spoiler until Feb of 2003 when I started to mod her. Heres a pic of her stock.




Than in 2003 the big changes started to happen adding the RMM kit, Borla exhaust, Trunk work, Tein Cs coilovers, Gettins, Pipeing on seats, and last the engine chroming & color matching.

I was pretty much quiet on the car for 2004 except for adding the JP tails..also do to the storms I lost my blk on blk gs4 but was able to pull out what i needed from it before it was taken away

heres April of 2004 when the car recieved the JP tails



Than after the storms I swapped as much as I could between the 2 cars to get that blk interior going in my blue gs. Here is the interior's 1st change in November of 2004

I didn't mod much in 2004 while saveing for 2005..

1st in line was to complete the interior ..Which was completed in March of 2005 adding a Blk Granite design to all the oem wood pieces including the steering wheel and dome cluster. Than redoing everthing else in Blk leather with Bkl and Blue suede including doing a matching baby seat.

March 2005




Than the latest Mod for 2005 was added a couple weeks after which was the Rotora custom 4 corner 355mm BBK ..

April 2005

Hehe, thanks James, but visually my car only has a grill and rims and it's lowered. My thing is more on suspension and responsiveness. I'm not in the same ballpark as DaveGS4 and bluelex.

Since this inspired me I'll post my own little project, cool thread

What I saw 8 months ago, a terrible site. I couldn't see this thing hit the road.


2 weeks later I had this


Safety First (4 months later)


7 Months later and an ungodly amount of time and money




I'm almost scared to see what this will look like in another 2 years I'll try and get some recent pics of my SC that my sister now drives, transformation wasn't quite so drastic however.
