What did you do to your GS today?

So I have pulled the Seat , easy, and taken off 1 piece of Carpet Trim, but I am bit hesitant to take off a bunch of trim , not worried about getting it OFF but with 20 year old clips etc they tend to break off vs come off nice. Took me longer to get the seat bolt covers off then the seat, and 2 cracked on the way off. Not a big deal but don't want to bring up carpet and then have it look like a sack of loose skin from there on out... Debating cutting a small hole or two to dry out the underlay similar to one that was done for the seat cabling. Anyone pulled carpets and put them back clean?
You can pull the carpet and shampoo it. Just be mindful that you’ll need to really let it dry throughly (preferably by laying it out in the hot summer sun for day) to prevent mildue.
Youll also up you level of confidence by duing so. It’s not hard to do; just put the bolts in a bag and label them so you know what goes where when it’s time to reinstall.

new coils fml, rewired ig wires and loom, new donor engine. Waiting on ig coil clips than should be good, oh also new rear calipers! this entire has broke in the past year fml. Can anyone help me find some clear headlights i can buy. I have green non halogens now. What all do i need to do. Noone will help me figure out if its worth it. Can anyone point me in the right direction. My entire is redone except my headlights and its pissing me off. Ive rebuffed them for years and they are 2 far gone.

The EBC reds were one of the best things I put on my car. Excellent initial bite even in the cold, low dust, and a ton of stopping power. A bit pricey but that's all I'll be buying in the future for my DD. Totally worth it

Agreed^^^ stainless steel lines are sexy and everything, but are much more prone to leakage and the fittings never can compare to the OEM rubber pressure clamped lines. I use them on my CBR1000rr , but you can see them every time you approach the bike. Under the car, not so much. I'd stay away from them for a strictly daily driven car. Just my opinion.

The Stoptech SS lines are very reasonably priced on rock auto and have been great for 3 years for me. Its probably time to replace them soon since SS lines don't last forever

I also got my back bumper painted. and took it to the shop for quick inspection of the superstition it looks fine as I already did lower ball jts and control arms. I could do the UPPER control arms but not sure if I should nothing really wrong with them.
Going to drive and buff out the headlights.
Need to find some Door Actuators - there seems to be TONS on Ebay - which ones are OK to get anyone know?

Just picked her up yesterday, didn't have time to take pics of her, but these are from the shop before the PPI.
I think first up on the agenda is get rid of the oxidation on the headlights. Then hopefully get my detailing tools from the states soon so I can correct the paint.
