Its sad to see her back at this state. But when you release that D2 Kia on us people will understand why you did what you did...

Damn Derrick, I move down to Florida, and now you tell me this news?! LOL

It's always sad to see a car go, but 9 out of 10 times you bounce back with a better and sicker ride, with even sicker mods. Good luck D, and msg me on AIM sometime

I am so accustomed to seeing modified GSs with a kit that the stock bumpers actually look funny to me now- sort of naked and exposed!

Still looks sweet overall Derrick!

LOL thats a good one man, you are right. To me its just so different without the aero and mufflers, I figured I'd share. I swear the day I took the mufflers off, I had my stock suspsension there but I just couldnt take the coils out!! After I saw the rear without the mufflers, I was like "dammit this is ENOUGH" lol

Damn man kinda sad we are both parting with our GS's, we both built them same time and you defenitley helped me along the way as well as burned a huge hole in my wallet lol
That is funny huh? Both of us parting out, yeah man you have certainly come along way from the guy I met back in 2002 that said to me "why would ANYONE put a kit and change the suspension on a Lexus?? That's just stupid!!" Now look, iFORGED, L-SPORTLINE Aero, 14" bbk, TEIN..........it just goes on and on. Maybe we can get twin Kia Sephia's with 22's!

Hey Jacob you have a great memory man. I remember staring at your car for hours and hours before I got the 20" Dronnells, and its still a sweet ride. Also regarding my 1st Gen, I have NO idea what your talking about, I have NEVER owned another GS other than this one!!!

Yup I think I did everything a little to fast because I lost that feeling somewhere along the way of what it was like to enjoy what you have. But oh well when we show up in the Kia we will be killin em.
