Here I am......said the GS400 with minor mods....
Here is where my GS is at right now. I could really use a drop, tte lip and axis milano/maya dts/ lexion 203,carlsson 2/5 rims.
After i get those, my GS will be where i want it to be in terms of mods which is to look like a mean looking sports car.
But here are some unprofessional pics of the GS in its current state...
Don't know how to take great pics like some people and the GS is dirty in all the pics....Enjoy. The most expensive of all my mods is the eclipse nav which i got for $450, the cheapest being $30 which are the clear side-markers. Believe it or not every other mod in between those 2 are less than $150 each.....the RMM grill, ebay side-mirror signals...etc And all the mods look way better in person and look like stock.Just wish i knew how to take better pics...lol
Complete list of mods in sig. All mods were installed by me...and installed perfectly too. Well, i still have to sand the edges of the housing where the cd changer was cut into for a more smoother oem feel.

thanks guys,
the side mirrors, are a 98% fit.
When seen in person, its hard to know that they are just covers. maybe its the color of the car or just the curves. I have little gaps in 2 spots which i could force down and in place with some epoxy and clamp but i lnever thought it was neccessary as nobody ever saw those gaps.
Since, i installed the cd changer, i have been to lazy to spend a mere 5mins just sanding the edges of the housing down. Nobody ever goes in there anyways but me. I will probably do it next week during one of my bored days.
As for lowering, i really just want 0-1"gap. No tucked looked for me. Am scared to get springs/shocks and then realise they are not the look i want and at same time am so angry coilovers are so expensive or that some ppl won't ship.....lol. Hopefully i find something soon cos i need that "not hard, harsh or bumpy but sporty ride/feel", just like my sister's GS.
As per the rims, i have and always been in love with the 17" stock chromies and have no intent to change them unless i come across one of the above mentioned rims in my first post. And it has to be 18s or 19s. 20s are plenty too much IMO.Especially without a kit.
My ultimate goal is for a nice simple sporty look which i think, the side mirros, RMM grill already started. lowering (my goal here is to have the lambo look where it seems like the rears are 19s and fronts are 18s: u know, that back to front slant, and a front lip will help me achieve).

I have Axis Milano wheels (center painted Mercedes silver) & there is absolutley nothing wrong with them. I've hit many potholes in NYC and not one bend or crack ever.. I will keep you in mind when I sell them soon.
