the clear tails look better the 01's will make the car look younger, but stock if you were to ask people that don't know the GS like we do, than i bet they will like the look of the clears over 01's style.

Hey Rock,

How do you clean the tails to look so new? I don't want to take the yellow out of mine - I just want to clean them up? What did you do to make them look so new? Please post it!

And my vote is the old tails - I like the classic sportier look.

Also, how do you like the Toyo tires?

I used both McGuires ScratchX and Mothers Scratch remover and polished the hell out of it... lol! The Toyos are nice I like them a lot and are good for the price. However, I think my next Summer Performance tire will be the Nitto 555. I think a lot of members have these and say the grip is excellent!
