Default Another GS LudeNsoL

So I ended up getting another GS this time another 400 and in SBM. I absolutely love it and that's exactly the same reason why this is my fourth one. For some reason I cant get away
This is going to be my build thread which is going to go pretty slow since college is more important.
I picked this bad boy up from a dealer for a really good deal and there was only one previous owner with all service records.
First I focused on maintenance
-Lower ball joints
-Tie rods
-Upper control arm
-Daizen bushings
-Sway bar Bushings
-K&N filter
-Fluids
Then Led Tails
Custom exhaust
3k Fogs
BC extreme drop kit coils 16k front 12k rear
updated grill

Future Plans consist of
-Wheels
-Lip
-system










I am going to lower the rear a little more to match the front for now. Once I get wheels it will be slammed
My last project that lasted a few months until I realized I missed the GS too much

Thanks for looking.

You've now reached your GS limit. If you buy or sell another GS you'll be banned from the 2GS section and will be forced to return to the IS section. Welcome back AGAIN! Like someone else said I still miss the white one.
