thx bro!
that's what I thought, but any confirmation from GS owners will definitely help.
Since I have done the DVD bypass mod, will try again to take a look what's underneath the shifter.

sequential shifting should be left for race cars. They set it up that way to work with the dynamics of the car when accelerating or braking. Thus down gear is pushing forward bec you are braking or slowing usually when shifting into lower gear. Under acceleration the weight will shift towards the rear of the car therefore to shift up you will pull the lever back. Its to racey for the GS. My friends M6 is a pain in the *** to drive bec Im so used to my street set up. That car is set up like a damn race car

Do you think they are 19 or 20 inch wheels. I am not feeling the fender vents. Other than thet it looks pretty nice

Post your modded 3Gen GS pics here!!! (no 56k!!!)

Let this be the thread dedicated to pictures of modded GS only.

Post your visible mods (if you're showing the exterior, no need to talk about your intake for example). This should be a one stop shop for people who want to see what can be done to the 3rd gen GS!
