Stunning Pictures Neo.

The look of you car is so clean and subtle.. I absolutely love it.

Are you running the Carson Exhaust? If so, How do you like it?

Thanks Anthony. Those are the RMMs. I picked them up for a good price before the Carson Tuned ones came out. The main reasons I got them were that they are probably one of the quietest out there (although I think it is quieter on the V8s) and that I was planning on an aftermarket rear bumper. As you can tell, the tips are a bit long but I saw how these fit on GSTrance's car with the L-Sportline rear bumper and I was sold.

But now, I may not get the L-Sportline so we'll just have to see.

I bought it used from a CL member so that price is not available for another purchase. Sorry Anthony.

I was actually looking for a used set since the old ones had larger tips than the current ones.

Hey Neo very nice post man, you always make very useful contributions to this site, rather than come on and post "thats great", "thats sucks", or "lookey what I got, I won't be back until I get something else"!! LOL

Something tells me Milestone 3 will be upon us a little faster than 2 though! Looking forward to it, to you.

D, I'm trying to take a break but these NorCal birdies keep whispering in my ear, especially one persistent one. I'll give you one guess who that one is.

Thumbs up nice pics

Neo,
Clean, classy, sporty look. That WIN rear spoiler fits the flow of your car nicely. I'm sure I'll get a chance to see it in person at a NorCal meet soon.
I can't attest to the sound of the RMM exhaust on the V6 but I r-e-a-l-l-y like the sound on the V8. Deep and throaty but quiet until you get to WOT. Then it wakes up and reminds me of those under the hood mods I want to do. =)

Hey Neo remember one thing, whatever aero route you choose, you will be in rare company since there is one fully modded GS I know of in your color. At least you have options bro, good luck

Looks very nice!

I liked the look of your car a little more without the wing on those OZ Salinas wheels. The Win spoiler is very aggressive looking, and IMO it needs more aggressive/larger wheels.

Am I just adding fuel to the (modding) fire?

Neo - really nice. I guess you're not into clear side markers? I think they would look good.

Those L-Tuned rims look really good. The 'flat' spokes right to the edge make them look bigger than 18s (good!). You didn't mention your hot brakes I don't think! Saw that on LexusGoneWild though... WAY TO GO!

GS wanted - Thanks. I like the wing too. The only other wings I like are the Veilside and the JPs but those came into play more recently. I've had this wing since last year and at that time, it was the only one I wanted except for maybe the OEM SportDesign one. WIth my roof spoiler though, I felt like I needed something bigger at the trunk.

D - I'm really having a hard time with the kits. Since I have to spend wisely, I need to plan wisely too. I'm not going to jump on a kit just to get one.

pvmike1 - Yes the Win is aggressive and I'd like to get into 20s. I'm just trying to decide which one will realistically fit into the budget and how to stagger the costs with the other planned mods. Yes, you are adding fuel to an already raging bonfire.

Bit - I do like the clear sides. I actually have a set in the garage. I just think the headlights and taillights still have amber so removing this one is like putting on a band-aid. I know it looks good and everytime I see it on someone else's car, I almost change my mind. I am waiting to clear out the headlights and find a way to do something similar to the JP tails. Then, everything will fit together. Maybe it is too much to ask though. We'll see.
