Definitely bro. Waiting to hear when the spot in your garage is filled.

I really like the blk roof look, but I also like original paint. Maybe if the paint and body wasn't in the condition its in.

Ok, so I ordered these awhile back from Japan along with my steering wheel and rear plate garnish. I wanted to give the interior a different look. I'm still on the fence about what it will look like. The other thing is only the door pieces work. Everything else doesn't, because they are for an Aristo. Oh well!!

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the 2GS family!!! I too said the same when I bought my SBM GS4, and now she's got a Vertex kit, 2 toned paint, 20" staggered wheels, and next is suspension and exhaust, lol.

It fits any 2nd gen. I actually found plugs for the holes, but the original plan was use the factory buttons just to occupy. Ideally, its for an Aristo with e-shifters and blk leather lol.

Just a minor update......
Had the ball joints replaced. Apparantely they were getting there so I took no chances. The other thing is I finally got the HIDs on the fogs. Big thx to Zach for the HIDs and quick shipping.

Looks good man, aftermarket wheels will really make a difference though. When i first got my GS i said i wasn't gonna change much either, but once you start it gets addicting. Nice pick up though!

I have a set of Alstadt 19s sitting from my 1st gen. Still debating which car I should put it on. I'm leaning towards either Varrestons (however its spelt) or Lumari as the other choice.
