Its good to see that you came a long way and did it right! I am still in the process of building mine. Hopefully by spring my GS will become another GS 'god' on here

Man your car came a long way, its so crazy how some stock GS's with the 16's look so unattractive, then how good Blue's car looks, good job man, I am diggin the blue a lot. I might be buyin myself a christmas present too this week, goin to look at a silver plantinum edition 2morrow, hope it works out even though I am skeptical to get rid of my 1st generation(just never got rid of one of my babies willingly).

D, man those wheels on the top look familier, don't they, ahahahha, they weren't that bad your 96 still looked good, even though the dronnels are rediculous, most of this club just has different but damn good taste. I will hopefully be joining the 2nd generation club soon man I am gonna have to change my screen name, you want it, ahahahhahah

Blue, I will say your car has come a long way. I remember when you got the new rims...oh my goodness...it is sooo hot. Much props to you. I have that as one of the pictures in my multi-car screen saver....when the GS's scroll through, I must admit it is tempting.....makes me want to go cop one and dress it with some sexy JDM wheels.....hmmmm

Anyway, I digress...the car is hot man....good job!

I loved the picture sequence man! I used to have '92 Accord before the Lex.

It shows that tasteful modding can be done over time, you're my inspiration

Not as nice as yours bluelex but it got me through senior year of college with no problems and almost racked up 30k miles going back and forth from upstate to NYC.

tech, you've got me feeling all nostalgic now!!

Couple of my old baby, I worked SOO hard to get and modify that car!! LOL
Got it when in 1998 when I was 19 (second year of college) and kept it until 2001 (when the Lexus odessey began!!)




In the 1st pic my Greddy lip was new, check out what happened to it after 3weeks in Brooklyn, NY LOL
2.25" Drop and Greddy lip + BK streets = lots of chips

A -

its always great to see your car .... like most have said it has been an ongoing inspiration.... I like how you also came from economy-beginings as I did....since other people are posting what they USED to have I might as well post what I came from also....I was one DEEPLY INTO BLUE individual as you are!..I do miss driving it at times though ...well here they are...

Default Congrats !

Bluelex,
congrats on your 2 year anniversary !

You've done a lot and made some great choices along the way, though I am biased with the RMM kit. I also always wanted a blue GS myself, so now we are re-living that dream with my wifes new Indigo Blue IS.

I used to have an "88" Integra too, with a Kaminari body kit and when 195/50-15 was as low a profile and as big a wheel as you could get. Can't believe 15 years later, technology has advanced with our new IS running on 255/30-19's. Even lower profile and larger wheel for a similarly sized car !

So what's the next mod for your car??
