I thought i would compliment the taillamps with the 430 emblem to keep em guessing. I don't think it would hurt to much cause i wanna upgrade the steering wheel and air bag as well as the guage bezel and the chrome shifter gate.

I agree with TLW on the badging. As far as the other mods, unless you luck out on used parts, they are going to be costly (except for the gauge bezel). I've given up on the wheel.

In any case, a clean GS is a beautiful thing to behold.

Unbelievable how these cars stay great looking for so long. Except for the outside panels of the leather seats (I have the same cracking problem on mine), looks fantastic.
