Default New member here, pics inside...

Ive been lurking here for awhile, just wanted to say Hello and share some pics of the GS.

I finally got my wife's GS revived. Picked this car 6 months ago for cheap and it was pretty beat up. Put a few more months of blood sweat and tears to get it looking like this. I left the two JP wing side pieces off purposely... I might throw them on someday, but it looks better IMHO.

Enjoy...

Installed everything in my garage but the paint...Dealt with a less than professional manufacturer to get my bumpers...All kinds of wheel fitment trouble after swapping those brakes. Those PIAA's are off my NSX...Had to use them because my 18's did not clear those brakes. Setting the proper ride height on those teins was another bumpy chapter...No pun intended. Got stuck on a few driveways before I was forced to raise it to this height.

Thanks...Haha...Not a construction worker, I'm just a techie w/ a knack for taking apart cars/motorcycles.


Anyways...time to do those ball joints next.

Welcome to CL. I was always a fan of the Piaa's just never got them. I think that the ride height leaves a lot to be desired. It should come down. But that is one hell of an introduction!!
