So what kind of suspension are you going to be using? Looks higher than stock so maybe you have it raised with c/o or airbags right now?

No I have been sick and now I have to finish all the paint and body work. I have to do it in the next 4 months or so because my emissions are due and that is how it is checked. I will let you know.

Okay, that's strange... I'm doing a multi-tone paint scheme on my GS, too. I used the same body line to change to the top-half color- it flows right into the JP spoiler. I'll be interested to see what the top half on yours looks like. Are you going lighter? Darker?

I'm a little surprised that you left the door handles on. Also, removing the trim around the windows was a bear... not fun, but hopefully it'll be worth it!

Congrats in advance... your car is coming along nicely.
