Default what do you think

I am still working on things I need to do but wanted to show a few guys here some of the mods I have done. The car is dirty so look past it.

I also have updated the tails, installed OEM HID from a GS 430, added a DIY chrome grille. I still have to drop it and add some borlas or something other than stock mufflers. I will take more pics when the time is right.
Thanks
Nigel

Thanks Wringo.
You were right when I first talked to you a couple of years ago when I was thinking about getting a GS. "You will be doing mods" Remember I said I would give it to my daughter when she got her license. Well she got it last month and I bought her a new beetle instead and kept the GS . This is all mine to play with. Still have a ways to go but with other expenses the GS is always the last on my list. You know how that goes. I saw Curtis tonight we get together since we live close. We still have to hook up and do something.

It should be here later this week or weekend. That is all the wood I will be adding. Anymore is over the top and dated IMHO! Will update pics when the time is right.

Thanks
Nigel

Hey Drew thanks man, did you pick up the new plug for the lights? I will get you the pics. Still have not taken a good picture with the cutoffs. They came out very good. I met another member earlier and he loved them. Good luck with your mods and hit me up if you run into any issues.

Thanks
Nigel
