Default The Evil Twin! *Pix Inside*

Just picked up the new GS and washed/waxed both cars today.

New turbo components on the way as I type this. I think I'm going to set a new CL record. Purchase date to turbo date in 2wks Be on the lookout for my new turbo build thread!

This is the color & trim I have been trying to get for a while now. 2002 GS300 Sport Design graphite gray pearl with black wood interior!
Anyways, on with the pix...

Congrats, I love the interior in the Sportdesign! What else do you have planned for the SD beyond the turbo?

I believe that only applies to 03+... You can tell not only by the headlamps but also by the fender emblem.
