Default The Start of Something Official

Wuz up guys new member here from S.FLA I picked up my GS a few weeks ago I have been enjoying ever since. Its given me a few probs but I got a good deal on it and its pretty clean. Here are some pics i took tonight I am no photographer and I need to take some day time pics but some pics are better than no pics i guess. so tell me what you think







Some plans are Aristo swap, yellow fogs, lower it and throw on some dubs

Looks great man. I hope your pockets are pretty deep, the things you are talking about are pretty expensive. Clean car though

Your plans sound great and that car looks like a nice, clean one to start with. Some guys on here have the Tein CS coilovers and love the ride quality.
