Default I got a GS400

Okay, over the weekend, I was able to purchase this bad boy, and I am loving it.

I have ordered the K&N cold air intake and new NGK plugs for her, and I can't wait for the parts to show up.

Does anyone know where I can get some clear side markers, I don't like the yellow ones at all. Also, does anyone know how to change the city night (the little lights in the highbeam)? I can't somehow find a way to do it.

Also, what kind of the license plate are you guying using? I have used many chrome ones, but, they all rust after one winter in my area, because they dump too much salt on the road.

Here are some pictures, and thank you all for your advice.

Hello. Nice car by the way. I bought my clear markers on ebay. There are tons of them and prices have dropped. Not sure about the difference in quality, but mine is starting to turn slightly yellow, maybe some bad condensation problem also. You shouldn't pay more than i think $15/set. Good luck.

Nice. Park it between that white BMW 3 and that VW so that it won't get dinged up.

Man, you guys are too quick!!!

It's funny that I had a VW Passat before, 8 months after I had it, everyone lived in my condos start buying VW, 2 Jettas and 1 Passat. I finally had it, so, I got this bad boy, let's see what those people will get next

Thanks again,

Dillon

Easy solution for the license plate in front, get a bodykit. lol. you may or may not want to go that route, but if you don't get a plate, and don't want a bodykit, a bodyshop should be able to smooth that out nicely for you and your set!

ps. Welcome to the club!
