No kidding man, that interior is beautiful

And yea I remember how the engine sounded stock nice and quiet, smooth and refined, nice purr at WOT - That all lasted about 2 months then I got the SRT Intake ...

Soon to follow was the Tanabe MT Exhaust, and in the near future hopefully (after i finish my audio setup) I'll be dropping in some S&S Headers ...

The car just sounds so aggressive now

wow, you sure have an exclusive 2GS!

looks like the previous owner did some light modding on that SD. exterior and interior look flawless. i would opt for the SD trunk spoiler to keep the theme and redo all the SD badging.

you should sit in a GS 4xx if you think the 3 is fast. 75 more hp with virtually the same curb weight. 29 mpg. jeez man. good looks and economy, hard combo to beat!

Yeah not sure why he debadged the entire thing but I've got the emblems and stuff on order to "correct" it. The only reason that I'm thinking about the lip spoiler is so that I can keep the SD thing going.

I like the ebay lip spoiler that somebody linked to above as well. But if I had to go OEM, i'd get the SD one. But i haaaaate the stock OEM spoiler. BTW, are you getting chrome badges to redo it or are you going with the black pearl ones?
