I think i know where you are coming from, my play toy is a nissan Z32 lol.



Nice job cleaning up the GS! Amazing what polishing the headlights up can do, i think mine were a bit worse when i got my GS, but look just like yours now.

nice Z32, the wheel fitment is perfect. I had fun cleaning the car it's like a personal challenge to have a not so clean car and make it your own. I don't think I would have had so much fun in the first week if the car was immaculate lol.

btw I also plasti-dipped the wheels. I'm gonna take pictures. Honestly, it's one of the cheapest and fastest way to make the car stand out in a good way.

I used the turtle wax lens restore (something like that lol). It was 15$ and came with all the needed stuff plus a wipe that seals the lenses after you're done polishing. I might also put some clear over them just to be sure I won't have to do it next year.

I didi it last year on my forester with a kit from meguiar's ( I think) and the were worst the year after, just because a sealer was not included (and not in the instructions)

when you will put some mileage on it tell me if there is a big difference on gas mileage between the 400 and 430. I was with my friend the other day and wondering.

And for the badges, you cannot go wrong with plasti-dip. it's solid, you don't have to mask anything and if you decide that you don't like it you just remove it... that's why I didi it, cause I know it's not permanent.
