BTW what # tints do you have? I've seen a matador red GS in my area with really dark tints and it didn't look so nice because it made the bright red turn into a dark red.
35% all around.

Silver it is...I have it narrowed down to VIP, ZONE, WORK, & ADV...I about drop a loaded on the quote for the ADV. But they have some great looking rims IMO. Going to push the limits a little and go a different direction then I normally would to change it up.

Yes they come off easy. Just note there are holes you will need to fill or cover up

^ Thank you!

I cant believe I am actually taking stuff off the car. It looked so nice today after getting a hand wash. Good thing is several members are interested and that makes me happy. One of the locals stopped up at my job this week and I had everyone texting me that they saw this awesome white GS (cowsgomoo) out front and were trying to find me!!

Its been fun working on this car and trying things out. Darrell at Sewell has been a tremendous help with my crazy thinking and determination to find us more parts for our cars.

I look forward to seeing what everyone does this spring/summer and all the new styles that will hit.

So now the questions is, are you boosting or selling?

I will take the door handles and shift bezel if they are for sale and maybe the brake kit. Sorry to hear you are parting your car. I always loved the diy and the new parts ideas that would be posted with that

Shift Bezel sold to another member and the door handles its not worth taking them out. Check Sewell site with our CL discount they are rather inexpensive.

Thanks! I will still help out. My wife and I are expecting twins so the GS being a garage queen needs to go to a new home so I can have something larger for the family. Im sure I will get a toy in a year to play around with.

Also wanna ask - what did you do ? Painted them in black ? I think this looks much better then blue with red interior wood !

hey, I just didn't get it since I have learned in school a little bit other english then I see now in internet forums "The same color as it should be" means didn't paint ? I think simple marker is not great choise. Better "natural dyes", i just don't know how to say right in english. In general, good paint should use, not simple marker as we use in writing for example.

What you think about red threads? ^_^
Maybe red threads should better match the interior ?
