Default Minimalizing the GS. Sweet outcome.







Finally, my 3GS is back to her roots. Back to basics & riding on 20" BBS LMRs. Lowered with BC coilovers.

Enjoy.

If you are a regular on this forum, you must remember my old ride - 3gs with hot pink runs with a chrome lip.

Believe or not, that is the same car.

you're almost there.

to be truly minimal, you'll need to take off those tacky chrome strips on the front bumper, and that stick-on thing near the bottom of the front door.

Surely a parking pole? I had one on my SC/Soarer. I never used it, useless IMHO.

It can't be a parking pole. It's not even on the corner.

I wonder if it's a CB antenna or scanner antenna? Seems a bit low to be effective as a CB antenna so it can't be that.

I know - it's a flagpole for a flag - maybe a diplomatic flag, corporate flag, sponsor flag, or team flag.

Almost there...

Again, things circled in red need to be removed. Im not sure if the stickers on the window are manditory or not, but if they arent, take them off.

It seems you love stupid little nick nacks stick on things, you remove some of the stuff we suggest before and now add a flag pole to your bumper? Do you chauffeur the prime minister around?

Also already mentioned by another member, the different tint from front to rear seems ackward.

Looks a ton better than those pink wheels. But yeah, I agree...remove these things and you're set. Nice wheels!
