yes on bags. I had the gs on tein ss coilovers buy found them too soft. Decided to try something different and went bags.

I'm a tad old school so went paint over wrap. Full paint was around 6000 cad. Would have been more if I picked a completely different color. Original color was the burnt metallic gold. I basically resprayed with gold flake on top.

Nope... it's 210,000 mi with faded paint on the hood and bad scratches on both bumpers... but... that is the look I'm going for so thank you.

I wasn't going to post this here because it's not even a good picture, I just snapped it for the group chat to let them know the car was out.
But it's the first time the car has seen the streets since last November, the longest it has been in hibernation. The control arm bushings were one whole saga, then I dove into an IS350 front brake kit, then stainless lines and new pads all around and that was a whole can of worms that resulted in a lot of brake fluid on the floor. But there it is, I drove it to the shop to get an alignment and nobody died.
