Default i was gone...now i am back!

i was gone for a bit. but the problem is over, and i am back in another blk on blk GS400. Bone stock & ready to mod.

At the 200k mark with clean tittle, clean interior, clean body. Paid a little more then I wanted too, so dont ask. I didnt have to drive far either. Was to clean to pass up. =)

Here are a few shot of the car.

asianbob - saw all his other car the old owner had and it was all spotless like the GS. It was in his family since new. which was good. its so clean that I dont even want to mod it just yet!

neegroy - I am thinking about cutting off the tip and going with a quad down the line. I am not really feeling the tip. but the muffler does sound very nice.


The old owner been keeping in touch with me and let's me know how much he miss the car already. hahaha.

What happen to your last GS? Did it get totaled?
Don't chop up that exhaust. Just sell it. Its an old school borla.

It's parked. Old owner pulled some shady stuff.

The exhaust will get chop to a quad tip. Sad to say but the single tip doesn't fit my eye. Muffler sounds great on the other hand.

She sits nice now. Did you do any mods to the fender to get that 11" wide rear wheel to fit? I really dig that bike rack!

the gold and chrome clashing on the trunk doesn't bother you? that's why I didn't opt for the trunk bar

I had give the fender a little roll. Offset is weak at 22F and 34R but good enough for my taste. Bike rack helps out a lot with just more than carrying bike hahaha.



GojuSSJ3 - it does! Someone offered to buy my black trunk bar. Couldn't turn that down. =) but I rather have the gold on until it goes in for a paint job. Will change it to chrome badge.
