Very tidy looking GS!
I love the color combo but have a couple of questions.
Did the car come with this wood-wheel from factory? (it seems that the color of the wood doesn't match up hundred percent)
Is the rear-view mirror OEM? I noticed that it has a little window that supposedly shows East, Norht, etc right?

Prolly a super nooby question, but is it legal to not have a front license plate?

I noticed a lot of people here don't have one and they roll around w/o it. That legal or can the cops give you a ticket?

As for the OP. Very clean car. Keep it up!

Very clean and obviously well maintained...at least cosmetically I would assume mechanically as well!

the front license plate veries state by state, not required in TN thank god


OP these are what i was referring to

if your going in for a paint on the front bumper than just have them shave them off....but the plugs are a cheaper alternative to that
