Default CarbonGS' old GS4 Update with pics

As most of you know I sold my GS400 a while back to my cousin. I still have the GS300 (Carbon). Luckily I get the chance to do the mods to it and detail it from time to time. Today was one of those days. So I took some updated pictures of it. Big thanks to my friends for helping me with driving and carpooling - Kevin, Ming, and Daniel!

As of today this is the mod list:

Exterior:
Wald Executive Lip Kit
JP Rear Wing
Mac Blick Roof Spoiler
Erebuni Eyelids
SuperStar Customs Tinted Tail Lights

Interior:
01' Gauge Cluster
01' Shifter Surround
01' Wood Grain Ashtray
RX330 Shift ****

Engine/Performance:
Swift Racing Technologies Intake System
Color Matched Painted Panels
SP Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors
HKS Axel Back Exhaust

Audio:
Eclipse Double DIN w/Navigation
Kenwood Amplifier
2-12" Kicker Competition Subwoofers

Lighting:
Advanced Automotive Halos
Painted Headlight Housings
8500K HID Headlamps
3000k HID Foglamps

Wheels-Tires/Suspension:
20x8 + 20x10 Donz Montanas

Eibach Pro Kit Springs
Bilstein Shocks

So that's what happened to your car. Changes look much different in my eyes (wheels, front end, tail lights, etc.).

i have had 3 sets, one for the gs4 and 2 for the gs3. i did the install for the second set for the gs3. fitment was perfect, no issues. for the rest of the installs, i had them do it on site. yeah they used my car as one of the first gs builds. those pics are old though. car has changed a lot since then.

this is a different gs. I had a GS300 and a GS400 at one point. This is an update on the GS400.

The GS300 (Carbon) is in the garage awaiting air ride.

Holy cow...where the heck have I been that I didn't know you sold your GS4??!!! I don't doubt the 300 will turn out as amazing as the 400 did...shoot, its pretty much already there with the mods youve added to date.

Nice work as always bro!!!

Oh ok.... I see now. I was really confused for a bit. Nice ride nonetheless.
