Yea it sags a little in the middle, I bought it used and it was already like this but I got it for like $50 so I said what the hell I'll get another one later it doesn't bother me too much

I definitely agree, I am going to have it repainted soon though.

No it's actually the OEM bumper but the original owner got into a fender bender and instead of buying a new bumper just had the old one fixed (horrible job I must say). But I'm going to have the front and rear bumpers painted soon.

eyelids off ebay I can't really remember the seller's name since this was a while ago, and the SRT intake was straight from www.swiftracing.com ...

I like it better than the "bubble eye" look, my g/f brother says it looks mean

Honestly wheels are the last thing on my mod list for the car. I would love to get some but for some reason I just want to get everything else out of the way first. I'm coming up on one year owning my GS in August and I've done a few good mods, can't wait to see what the next year brings ...


-To everyone else who posted, thanks for the comments, more photos will come as my GS progresses

I love the SRT Intake, noticeable power increase and an O so sexy sound , many people have thought I had a supercharger when they hear the intake sucking air ...

As for the eyelids, I LOVE them, it sets my car apart, I haven't seen any other GS's in my area with them ...

Looks nice...love the eyelids....of course Im biased .

Hey...looks like your front bumper finish is a bit dull. Did you forget to wipe off the wax up front?

Keep up the good work.

I wish that's all it was, the front and rear bumpers have looked like that since I bought the car, the previous owner had them painted very cheaply, probably maaco. But I'm going to have them repainted, wet sanded and buffed whenever I have the cash

Haha well one advantage is that I can see over some cars and determine a pattern to weave thru traffic , but yea I'll be dropping the car after I got the bumpers taken care of.

My to do list for right now is:
1) Fix bumpers
2) Replace OEM spoiler
3) Find some nice coilovers
4) S&S Headers

- And once again thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions
