Looking good!

One suggestion I have... know they're rare but assume somebody is making reproductions.

(especially for the back) Get another l-tuned badge and either put some tint on it, or spray it with a light coat of the glossy tail light blackout spray.

With all the dark emblems, I think a slightly darker l-tuned badge would look cool.

Nice L-Tuned 2GS! The 2GS has a special place in my heart because one of my favorite cars was my '03 GS Sportdesign... black w/ BBS RGR wheels, saddle interior.

It never really bothered me until you mentioned it; I wonder how a 3M tinted wrap would fare? Assuming that it would be easily removable, this could be a viable option.

Thanks all for the kind commentary!
