I really want black on black but between the two the silver GS seems to be a better deal. What are the thoughts of CL?

I'd go for the silver one. I love black on black, but the silver one looks like it has been taken care of meticulously.

and it's got the thin clear strip LED tail lights.

Looking at the cost savings for the mods the silver one does seem to make sense. The leather seems to be nicer, too. I called the guy after I posted this and was told "The suspension is that adjustable stuff where you can raise and lower it" followed by "I just had all the service done, new shocks and everything"

At least I know he's a car guy, lol.

Depends on if you want a modded or a virgin GS. I like the silver one for the RMM kit.. but I would look at both cars in person. The silver one also has something funky on the front passenger fender.. but it could be the pic. Let us know how it works out.

if you like mod, take #2, seems well taking care of.
if you like stock, then #1, blk on blk looks cool

Obviously, I am a big fan of black on black, but I really like the silver one. If you are anticipating modding your car, the silver one is off to a great start. Seems that all mods were tastefully done

I like the black because it is stock. Does the Grey one have a "Check Engine Light" on?

I'd take the black one...lower miles.

Plus the silver one...there's something wrong with the front bumper....obviously...there's no front pic of it. Looks like it was cut at the chrome trim line...and added to the stock front bumper...horrible job.

Silver guys saying black and black guys saying silver. I'm so lost now, ha ha ha. I really do like the black on black, it's what I want. Silver was #3 on my list. The mods make it very tempting, though. Not a fan of the kit but I'm sure I could trade it for stock. I suppose since I'd take both I'll just see who will go lower.

Appreciate all the input thus far.
