Default More Black300

About a month ago I got the Black300 tinted. Last week I got the front bumper painted. It was severely ravaged with 4 years of road rash and scrapes due to wifey's spirited driving. 2 days after wifey ran into a bump stop and scraped the freshly painted bumper. I covered the scrapes with touch-up paint and took a few shots this morning. My camera seems to be getting old and the quality of the pics is not as they used to be but what the heck....I love pics.

Before it comes up....I know that some people don't like fake, 1 piece cast, knock-off cast, faux plain 5 spoke wheels but there will be no drama from me this time. Tired of talking about it.

Was about to say, not a fan of the wheels, but as long as you like them ,it's all that matters.

I have to admit, there are some real ****** on this site!

I love your car, it looks really nice. Get some nice tips to round off the look.

Thanks Mike. I do want a coupe but no hurry. After test driving some of the cars on my target list, the GS rides almost as well and looks as good as anything out there. Except for the top tier stuff, of course. Obviously my mods close the gap a bit.
Bottom line is I like my GS and plan on keeping both. Just have to make room for a coupe one of these days.

I didn't drive the hard core stuff on my list cause I was afraid I'd make an emotional decision instead of being practical. For example, I was scared to drive the GTR. I may hate it. On the other hand, I may love it and do something irrational. I'm not sold on it's looks and I've gotten use to a luxurious interior. I have to make sure there are interior upgrades out there for it. In case I don't like the ride I have to make sure there are coilovers out there like the Tein CS for it. After all this thought, it seems like too much trouble so I decided to slow down.

Bottom line, I'm happy with our GS's.

Looks good man and if anybody want's to hate just ignore them. I typically don't like the 5 star look much but you have done a wonderful job on the wifey's ride and your 350 is very sweet also
