100 tiny snail shells as turbines, mini-ice-maker for intercooler, and drinking straws for piping. boyscout whistles for BOV

j/k.

Mine is not that big actually but no one has done it yet. It's not that hard. Has something to do with the interior. But now i'm short on funds and time so I don't know when it'll finish. Maybe in a few weeks.

Don't wanna compete for the DIY king position. It's just a name. If's funner to just show everyone what's new and be happy with it right right right?:eek:

The one thing I would love to see on the GS interior is like what they do in the 5 series is the different colour leather insert in the seats.. Like with our Blue GS I would love a blue insert with the black leather.. Food for thought anyways!

Can't wait to see what you are gonna do Globe!

different color leather can be done via leather spray but it looks NASTY.

It'll cost lotsa money to do custom leather so that'll have to wait.

Ray,

You've got the 6000K HID bulbs in your GS.. I've got the 4200K factory HID bulbs in our 2000 GS so I found a place here in Toronto where I can get the 6000K bulbs so my question is can I just buy a set and just pop out the old ones and put the 6000K ones in and it will work with no problem..

Not getting much of an answer out of that other thread so I hopefully you can answer my question..

Thanks in advance!

Ken

It had silver (I think 2 kinds, mine was lighter), smoke, blue, red, yellow, and maybe some other colors like green.

I'd also consider blue for the front side markers - but none there...

Yes they are plug and play. Just take out the stock 4200k ones and pop the 6000k ones in. Very simple. Notice the difference immediately (DUH)

The website has only a few of those sprays I guess....... I got them in person at their store.

also check www.islandmotorsports.com. I've been to their store too and they had many colors before.

Sasha,

I'm not too sure who the manufacturer of the HID bulbs since I was only shooting the sh*t with the guy at Auto F/X in Brampton but the price that he quoted me was $365.00 CDN.. They are closed tomorrow but if I get a chance next week I will go and find out who the manufacturer is of the bulbs.. Thanks Globe for the info on the bulbs.. Much appreciated!
