I like the stock one better, the black stuff is cool but i like the all silver.
naw i got a 2001. i like the black on my black car. if i had a silver gs i would probably still like the black to offset the color

ty....im slowly going to the all black look.

yeah i would love a CF cover. im working on that too

trying to get this guy to make me one

use a siphon pump or a turkey filler. don't go all the way empty in the reservoir, just about 3/4 out and put in 3/4 new fluid. start the car, turn the wheels full lock left and right, turn off engine, and repeat.

enjoy a non-leaking power steering system as long as you keep the fluid reasonably clean.
