thank you everyone for the warm welcome , i really appreciate it.

Right now i dont have any plan for her yet, gotta enjoy the luxurious at the moment first. I had the integra gsr supercharged with full coilovers suspension but still kinda tired of the bumpy rides so at the moment i'm not thinking modding the sus on this sweet ride.

That's what they all say at first, but after looking at all of the sweet GS's on here, you'll change your mind.

Welcome, man. Looks like my friend's GS, except you have Nav.

All Gen2's 98-05. Might as well just replace them right now. Better safe than sorry.

Welcome. Nice GS, good color combo too!

I think those 16" wheels were from a 300.. maybe the previous owner had rims on it..
