Default New GS owner.

I'm buying a new GS on Saturday, I was wondering what are some of the things I can do performance wise, and appearance wise, and maybe see some of y'alls builds. And maybe trade the wheels that are coming with my car. They are Concept One CSL 5.0's. Let me know!

Yeah thats it! It's already lowered on coilovers, GS430 swap, exhaust, subs and a head unit.

Yeah it's the 430 motor in it. What's the difference between the 300 and the 400 because the guy selling it said it's a 400.

I'll post some more pics once I pick it up! And that picture is from the previous owner he took it. I don't have the car in my hands yet but I soon will!
