How attached to your car are you? I would consider selling your car and just buying a black or other color GS. It could get quite expensive to do a proper color change like that. Have to pull the engine to paint the engine bay, door jams and all that. Many of the trim pieces that have to be removed might not be able to be used again so you might have to buy replacements. I wouldn't do a color change unless you go all the way. I can see going from black to another color and leaving the engine bay black being okay, but not any other color.
