Thanks guys for all the compliments! I must say that looking at the pictures online, the digital camera images are as close to the real thing as you can get.

TXSTYLE - your car looks great. A couple of comments/questions...

1) Is your grill an RMM one? I think it looks great.

2) I think you have stock brakes, right? They look small in that picture where your wheels look darker.

3) Are you rim sizes staggered? The rear rims look a bit inset from the side of the car - maybe it's the offsets.

Anyway, your car looks really great. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks Bit!
1. Yes, RMM grill
2. Stock Brakes, (Upgrade coming real soon.... )
3. And yes I am running a staggered setup. As my signature states: 19X9 in the rear with /265/30/19 compared w/ 245/35/19 by 8 up front. Now obviously they are not just "buldging" out of the rear wells, (which I would not want anyway) however they definitely come out considerably further than stock. I can't think of the offset numbers at the moment. But without question, I am truly satisfied with the "overall" fit & finish look of my setup, wouldn't change a thing. On a previous car (98' Cobra) I ran a 315 out back which did "buldge" out of my wheel well, and I quickly sold those tires & wheels do to all the paint damage I incurred within 2 months - rock chips, gum, etc. it just wasn't worth messing up my rear fenders/paint to have Big tires & wheels. And that car was BLACK so you can just imagine!

Were/are you satisfied with the quality of the RMM grill? I really like the look better than the L-Tuned and TRD grills.

I have signatures turned off (got tired of huge repeated images at the end of posts) which is why I didn't see the tire setup.

Here's how my rear rim sits by the way:

Looks good! You know what I'm talkin' about with having the tires protruding out and messing up the paint don't you?
And yes the RMM grill fits exceptionally well! Mine came painted. I then cut the mesh grill to shape it with the grill and did the install myself. It has held up quite nicely.

TXSTYLE --

Car looks great! Mine's white too and I'm not sure if I could ever get the shine you have!

I was wondering if you had tint on that car? In some pics it looks like you do and others it looks stock. If so, what % is that?

I'm trying to decide whether to get a light shade of tint or to leave it without tint. Both alternatives are classy in my opinion. Thanks!

Actually that's pretty funny cause' I was noticing that myself! In fact I have NO Tint! :eek: I have always tinted my cars, but in the case of my GS, when I have seen other white ones tinted sitting right next to mine, I personally don't think it looks as "clean". You know what I'm saying? There's a saying (at least down here) we call "The Glass House". And not to mention I wouldn't want to hide all that wood-grain up in there w/ my custom wheel that matches flawlessly! Just my opinion.

Yeah, I know, I was supposed to install those bad boys last weekend. Haven't gotten around to kicking out the $50 bones since I'm not "in need" of them you know kind of an "extra" but I'll get em' soon enough.

"Bump"

For one of the tastiest if not cleanest 2ndGen GS4's in the land!



To this day, and the many cars I've owned... It still ranks in the top 3 (out of @ 10) of best cars I ever owned! I really wish the 3rd gen had been more of a evolution of this car instead of a revolution. To this day I wouldve gotten a new one had it been:

Wider

Styled more aggressively

Most important - STRONGER!
