A trim line mainly on the 2GS (and also some on the 1IS) included some body parts (side skirts, grill) wheels made by OZ, some badging and a few minor performance (exhaust) and handling bits like sway bars and steering ecu

basically an early version of F-sport

I saw a picture of your GS a while back and was really impressed with how nice it looked. What happened to it? It was one of my favorite GS’ I’ve seen.

Wow! That’s an incredible build! Hopefully that guy kept it in good shape.

Thanks for the correction! I was aware of the red and blue ones and the white 1GS. He hasn't shared many pics of the black car and the red one looks like it has some of the same exterior mods, but that was a bad assumption on my part. After all, who would think someone would have four of these cars?

He did share some pics of working on the red car's sound system which showed some of the interior. The brake calipers are also different. Those should have given it away, but I guess it was late and my brain shut off.
