I decided to go with Vossen Precision Forged line with the VPS 306 wheels in a brushed/dark smoke...Stoked to say the least! Color came out amazing!

The Novel header diameter for the ISF is 1 5/8 inch or stock header diameter?

I do love the look of the bone stock GS-F. Has a premium 100k feel/look to it as it's a unique look from the factory vs. another GS350 with everything blacked out/loud pipes/etc. Hopefully you dont go too mod crazy especially with the blacking out of everything! I think you may be at a good point now.. I do like the shift **** and the paint color.
