Saturday I'll have my tanabe exhaust installed, the nice big chrome tips should add a nice touch to the rear.
This is the Carson kit? The kit I bought but got rid of because I didn't think it would look good on a light colored car? That looks pretty good.
How much was it to repaint the whole car?

Can't wait to hear you opinions about the Tanabe exhaust. I almost bout one but didn't think it would give me the sound I wanted.

Hey Ice, it was a little over 4k. They also installed the side markers (which required cutting into the fenders) and wired them, color matched the chrome pieces around the grill and headlights. I am very happy with the outcome.

I will let you know what I think about the Tanabe exhaust.

Your car looks great. I was one of the ones that said this kit was only good for dark colored cars but you made me put my foot in my mouth.

Also you will like the Tanabe. Its not very loud but has a grrrrrr to it. I also have a K&N intake paired up with it for a little more sound. The look of the Tanabe are A+ in my book.

I was hoping to see a light color GS has this body kit's rear lip opening painted black. I believe the color contrast will enhance the look of rear lip, maybe next owner is willing to try.

Nonetheless, your GS looks really good.
