Default Taking mine to the shop this weekend

Alright guys, for months ive been researching and been planning on restoring my 1GS. This saturday i will be taking it to the shop and will be getting a paint job done, window tinting, dropping it and replacing stock wheels with 19" staggered wheels. Before and after pictures will be posted soon. Stay tuned.
