Thanks Guys for all the kind words!

I am switching back and forth between the GS and the M3. I love both because they suit different needs.

As for the rims, those are Volk Companiato SS7 and I think you can still find them. I believe the Sportdesign IS was using the 17 in version just recently.

Next step is the timing belt change and TC done by Todd at TMEngineering. Can't wait! Woo hoo!

Looking good B - I still really like the blacked out factory grill on a black GS. Looks evil

I really like the fully debadged rear.. i took all but the L off my Sc300.. But when i get my gs i will probably remove all like you have.

Sounds good Rominl,

You can also tell me how your wedding went. I am sure you are relieved that it's over!

As for the TC, it depends on "Da Man's" schedule - he has been busy again during the new year time...
