Love it! Looks great man. The ONLY thing I would do is paint your hubs; they look rusted in the second pic where you are test fitting the wheel. Besides that, the car looks really good.

Nice GS man and welcome to the club. Have you had any vibrations being that low with the AWD?

Fuuuu that's nice! Definitely makes it look a lot more sportier. Just wondering what did you use to tint the headlights, window and chrome trim? I sprayed mine with polycarbonate paint but it's awfully fragile.

Agreed! The rust on the hubs bother me too. Gotta work on it this weekend.

I covered all the trims with a film that is usually used for headlight film. It kind of looks like black pearl once its applied.

Loving the ride on BC coilovers. No wobbles but, having vibration issues. Seems like there isn't a real solution to this problem.
