Henry's car was just superb, a stellar and shining example of how do mod your GS. I still remember the first time he got it and he told me on the Acura forums!!

What you did was nothing short of amazing! Sad to see it go but it was time to move onto a bigger and better project.

Nice brakes!!

(he shoots for big car magazines). but he really didn't have any time to edit these pictures, that's why they are "raw" compared to the finely touched ones for my sc430
I thought so b/c I recognized his watermark and I've seen his work before (his IS350/Z33 shoots). They were very nicely done photographs and thought it was weird that the same person that produces such nice photos would leave dusts on the sensor.

Anyways, go figure it's actual JP taillights. I was wondering why it looked so damn nice. Good luck with the LS project, can't wait to see what that would turn out to be like! I love that LS so far .

Henry,
I miss your car and I miss having you living around the corner from me, so it's been a double loss.

You have definitely gone on to bigger and better things.


See you at Toyotafest OK, OK ?

Okay Henry I'm back from drooling all over your killer LS. What a nice job on your GS. The blue is the one I would choose over the IS-F Blue. Yours is alot richer and deeper in color. Like other members have said...you definately have an eye for modding cars the right way. Nothing but class.

Off to see the SC...lol...

Take care,

Brian
