Default FINALLY, GS has returned!

Car has been in the bodyshop to fix small rear-end collision (Jan03) and added some other things. The insurance red tape was ridiculous!

Anyway, I am posting some new things I added while it was in the shop. TTE front lip, New Borla Exhaust (quieter than the Greddy making my wife happier), and debadged...Here is a shot of the sideview...

B - I removed the big pic that wasn't working

Full Rear view...I Plan to put the L logo in the center but in graphite black for a clean look.

Lookin good Bliu!

I like the rims. When I first saw them I thought they were 19's... I think it's because of no lip.

Looking awesome though!

Nice ride. Looks very clean

I wish we had trees like that in NY. They reflect great off the body.

Nice.

I noticed it was gone from TM yesterday. Are you back to driving the GS or switching off periodically with the M3?

Nice to have ya back and the car looks , you should upload the pics into your member gallery and then use IMG tags to put them in the posts, that way you wont have to reduce them, I hate that pixelated look you get when you have to reduce your pic size!!
