I agree and I have even thought about how to get the 1GS community more involved. I have tried to at least comment in many of the threads that somewhat interest me, or I know something about. I wish more people would post threads, but it happens, and I know the 1GS is a dying breed. Seems like most of the people buying these cars are broke people who could care less about the car. It's hard to find clean ones now-a-days.

well there are less of them (1gs's) just in general so thats a lower overall number of possible posters. It's like comparing this forum to Honda-tech.com and saying clublexus.com is a ghost town. Im usually real busy with work M-F and when I do stuff to my car, I usually let a few things build up and do it all at once, But again, its not like a more common car (even compared to the LS/IS) theres less parts available for this car and theres less people working on these cars then a lot of other platforms so its really only natural theres less post. Unless we all had our GS's ripped apart in the garage all doing major projects with tons of updates.

I still have mine. It's been my DD for over 10 years. I don't post much in here because I am done modding it. Not doing a swap or NA-T. Just driving it. I might be the oldest member in the 1GS scene.

But you know what? These cars are harder to find, all the better for me. Makes our cars more unique and rare
hey nice kit johnny. i'm getting mine put on right now. i did however notice the fitment of the front bumper by the ds seems to be a bit off and i've seen this in other pics of the gs with the same kit. can you tell me how the fitment of the kit was in general? it's hard to tell from online pics alone.
