Hey Big J, congrats... go easy driving to start with and get used to it. The factory suspension is pretty floaty and soft, so the engine can overwhelm it pretty easy.

Got any mod[ification] plans?

I will take it easy. But I am use to a little power since I also have a 92 mustang that is a little modded. Can't wait until me and this Mrs have a little run. Well the guy just called and I am about to go pick up my car see you all later. Here is 1 more pic.

Yea my wife picked that sticker off the bumper as soon as it came off the carier and it loos like the left pipe hangs a little lower than the right one. On other thing when I opened the hood to take a look at everything it looked good oil clean and tranny fluid clean but when I went to close the hood it will not latch for some reason and I have tried wiggling the latch inside the car but with no luck and I dont want to force it so I am kind stuck right now any help would be greatly appreciated!!!: eek1:

After a few weeks on Clublexus, the disease will slowly progress into the black plague. When I first got my GS, I only wanted tint on. After thousands of dollars later, I am still not satisfied

Ain't that the truth. Anyone who STARTS with 20s and thinks that's reasonable by any "normal" standard has got no chance! LOL.

Just teasing ya, Big J. I'm another noob, but these guys are great... so welcome to the fam and make sure you have someone you trust hold your wallet for you while browsing. My epitaph will say "it all started with a package of $8 bulbs."

Nice color choice, btw.
