OEM 01+ grille, install the brake pads, re tint front driver's window, fix the ABS problem, maintenance, get tires and mount the wheels, install the PI TC, maybe repaint, if repaint, spoiler will be removed, maybe LED tails....

Bigger brakes(probably 8 piston,380mm), repaint car, HKS Kansai CF hood, HKS T51R turbo setup, custom full 4" exhaust system, and possibly a set of new wheels that are more show/VIP rather than sporty. Probably a few other things I'm missing but I'm gearing up the car for the 2008 show season

Am I the only person in the world full repainting a 2005 GS?

Adding some boost for 08 and work on my stance some more (getting spacers to push wheels to the fenders). That's about it for this year.

Started with Wheels, SSR GT-3 (Thanks MarkMacGS4):
  • JDM Visors
  • Daizen Control Arm Bushings
  • Finish Radio Setup (Add or Replace Sub Amp)
  • BBK
  • HKS Exhaust
Then chill for a bit and see where I'd want to go from there...to be or not to be VIP.

It is safe to say that yeah, you probably are the only person repainting an '05 GS. Why repainting? Different color?

Maybe I will get around to installing the extensive list of mods that are sitting around for my GS430, here is a preview of things to come.
