full kit. new wheels just came in last friday so im just waiting on a few other parts but i probably wont install everything til late april. my boys bday is mid april and we're heading down to ocmd so im not trying to get all this paint work f'ed by rock chips lol.

have you gotten any clubs yet? there was a nice set in the classifieds...

LRoy, thanks. they are the avs visors - autoventshade.com
they did have a promotion for CL a while ago. something like 100 for the set. hopefully you can still get that price.

Not sure about the financing but this is the guy to do the install. He spends countless hours on his!

Looks great Ryan I love that kit on darker color GS's.

The 3rd Gen GS's are going to be rolling real hard this season.

thanks guys! i rolled the rears, but i still have rubbing over large dips/bumps. i need to trim up the tab where the fender meets the bumper. other than that i have no major issues. nothing a heat gun and file can't fix anyway. lol.
