Default Xmas Gift for the car!! (Of course!) what's on your list this year?

Well my fiancé just surprised me with this package all taken care of and paid for of course, I just have to make the appointment at my local stereoshop, I've always wanted AutoStart so bad on my car but it just is one of those things I just never wanna spend the extra money on, so she listens very good, She also got me my WoodGrain steering wheel and airbag for my birthday in September, (thank u Thomas for the quick reply on fitment again) and knows my car is my ace, it's freezing in Pa so this is awesome and my new fob will work up to 1 mile, thank The Lord!!! So tired of that 5 foot radius with the stock fob, anyway that's what I got for Xmas and just wanted to share so what are u guys trying to get for your GS this holiday?

i have to agree. i have had springs many o time in the past. coilovers and having the ability to get your height set Exactly how you want it really made a difference. bags are dope too, but werent going to make it on my GS. $649 for coilovers was worth an extra month or so of saving

I spoiled my GS enough this year. That b**** ain't getting another dime out of me. LOL.

With that being said, I just got my steering rack bushings done last week.

Dont get coils! They will ruin ur life... First u start scraping up your bumpers, skirts and then your nice cat back exhaust. Then u will take the beautiful design of the bottom front bumper and make it look like every other ugly plain looking front bumper when u add a aftermarket lip. Then it gets worse when u crack your aftermarket lip the day u rush to work pulling out of your driveway. U will get pulled over for swerving when u avoid potholes. People will honk at you or even worse u will get rear ended when u try to make that left at an intersection on a yellow light, and that person behind you wants to make the light also and doesnt see you slow down for that dip at the intersection. Then when you look at your cracked lip, scratched skirts, scraped exhaust, huge dent on your trunk that u cant see well at night cause u got home late from all the sobriety tests, u will then say time to raise it a little bit and feel stupid when u realize its not to much lower then it would be with springs! Or you can slam it on coils with some crazy camber and have your back wheels look like they needed alignment from factory and thats what 15 years of not getting it aligned did to it, if ur into that kind of thing. Lol but u will still have all the problems above. Love the slammed/lowered look but it just seems like to much to worry about.

I say springs!
