This thread is older than I've been on CL! LOL

But seriously folks, there was not much aftermarket support then as it is now. Prices were also a bigger issue, since most parts were Japanse made and with no competion.

So props go to all the modding pioneers!

I dont think my mods are all that unique, but I would like to think that my car is.

Default My unique mod

My unique mod is my first mod: Spike License Plate bracket hole plugs. I am in the process of repairing the two inner chip/indents.

Uhm why not just pull out the stock sub and let the bass flow through that hole that is covered up with the stock grille? Thats been my idea for my GS anyways....

Instead of a full body kit, I had the front and rear stock bumpers modified. Extra brake cooling up front ala Mercedes SL/CLK AMG's, and Audi RS4 with the front inserts.
