Talking FINALLY: some pictures of my ride!!! (updated w/NEW pics of whole car on page 5)

well, i have been on this forum for long enough to know what look i want my car to have, but yet be original... so, i have (in its infant stages) some mods done to my car and i would like for you to see. so far, i have a Veilside Exec. kit (thanks to JohnGS4) and even tho the front looks ok, i have a new front bumper on its way... i also have a different rear spoiler on the way and only a couple of people know what they are, so i cant tell yet im awaiting the arrival of the Carson/UGO roof spoiler from the group buy and that would complete the aero mods on my car. the car is sitting on the Tein CS (which i LOVE) and i do indeed have the edfc hooked up to them. my rims were introduced before, but again, they are Lowenhart Br-5's... 20x9 up front and 20x10 in the rear. all 4 wrapped in Falkens. now on the inside, i have some work done... i dont know how far im going to take it w/interior mods, but i NEEDED some done. well, since i was dying to have navigation, i tried so hard to get my hands on a factory one (complete) and a reasonable price. well, after learning that 01+ navi has yet to be retro-fitted in a 98-00 GS, and i dont want a hard-drive based navigation, it was off to the aftermarket units... now i DO NOT like pop-out units. IMO, they are very tacky, so i had to find a navi-unit w/an indash screen. so i settled on the pioneer avic d1. its an excellent unit and i love it. a small amp had to be used to get the factory sub working w/this unit, but it sounds pretty good. i have to give a MAJOR thank you to Jeff (Lexis11) and his install guys (Josh and the other guy (i forgot ur name, sorry)). i cant say enough how sweet the install is and how well the unit works and the pics do it NO justice well, enough talk, heres some pics... i hope u enjoy them (if the pics dont look to good, its Jeff's fault, he took them )

the navi unit:

i hope you like them so far!!

Mo--- It was a pleasure to do your radio and I am glad it was what you wanted. I am very impressed with this unit and will be doing one in mine.
Mo's car is sweet, it was dirty but I snapped those pics cuz he never posted pics of it done. The kit is awesome, wait til it is done.
Guys this Pioneer unit really is awesome, it looks good feel sgood and best it works good lol.

Nice looking car... i love that rear and sides. I was gonna get it, but i decided to go with polyurethane instead of fiberglass. It is fiberglass right? Anyway, really nice looking car, now you just need an exhaust

Pics don't do this car justice people! Let me tell you that the car is BEAUTIFUL!!! And although the Veilsided Exe. wasn't my cup of tea, it definately looks great on this car. Beautiful wheels too!
