Installed cusco front and rear sways and strut tower bars. Feels good - really neutral feeling now.

I wiped down my engine bay and cleaned my battery terminals.

It'll stay off the road until the gubment stops putting salt down.
You ever have any clear coat peeling on your black car? My 03 is peeling on the front and rear bumpers and trunk. Rest of the paint looks great though. Guess i just have to get them repainted.
Also, is there a way to touch up the black pearl emblems? Have those too but are a little bit chipped :\

I sanded and clear coated the headlights today. They look much better.

Also side question: Do GS's have a spot for cards? My IS300 had a sleeve in the sun visor and my old integra had a spot in the console lid.

I see peeling bumpers and trunks a lot on GS’ that pop up for sale all the time. The rest of the car looks fine though. My GS’ spoiler is really nasty looking compared to the rest of my car, but my GS300 is white.

A good friend of mine gave a free set of Infiniti Q45 wheels today. Once they get refinished and tires put on, I’ll put them on my GS300. I’m really excited about it.

I got a new battery for my GS300 from Costco today. It was free since I used a rewards certificate. 😙

No more one wheel peel outs. Installed an OS Giken Superlock LSD on my '00 GS400. She now launches out of corners like never before. Even with the VSC on, both rear tires spin during WOT turns onto the street, then quickly find traction, pushing the car hard down the road.

Looking great with the refinished headlights!! You should put some UV protective clear on them so they dont fog back up

Finally got around to installing my figs dual caliper rear setup with a partsbymax hydro today. Just waiting on some free time to do the front with some supra calipers I picked up recently.

Also got my bc coilovers on a while back and while I thought 16/12 was gonna be too stiff, its honestly been pretty comfortable and feels great in the corners.

I finally washed it for the first time in a while. It looks much better now with the dark tint, clean paint, clear headlights. I’m hoping to get the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor ordered soon and wrap the roof with gloss black vinyl.
