although to certain extend i think it also shows what i don't like about the new GS -- the front is long and the rear is so short, it doesn't look too balance to me

I was going to tape up the whole front end, but it took forever just to do what I had already done... Plus, I have clear bra on all the uncovered portions... (I was very **** and layered the tape so I could pull it all off in 1 swoop)

Budd28 had no clear bra at all so we went Clark went to town on his front......

SenseiGS43 Just didn't give a rat's a$$. Young blood Clark would rather look good than protect that beautiful front end so he went naked.....

lol, clark has money to repaint his car every month, so why bother

but i agree with you, taping the car, it does take some time @_@ did that to the sc430 (although we already have clear bra, we want to take out the bugs fast), man was it some work....

Billy has the Wilwood set-up...

I'm still debating on mine (some of you may remember), but I kinda added Endless brakes to the possibility on my list... So now, it either

a) Blue Endless 6-Piston / 13.5"
b) Graphite Project Mu 4-Piston / 14.0"
c) Red Brembo 4-Piston / 14.0"

We'll see.....

Clark has a very thin layer on his car that extends just over the headlights, but there are sections of his car (similar to the taped up portions of mine) that are exposed.
