Looking sweet, I'll keep an eye out for a black GS with exhaust, the Turbo Four banner, and Aristo badges as I drive around the Cleveland area. The eyelids are a nice touch, and the drop (I'm assuming with Tein's) looks perfect--not slammed, but not as much fender gap as the stock GS4's I see at the dealership.

Yeah, it's just painted....I was gonna use a semi-gloss...but just went with normal glossy with a clearcoat. So far, it's been chip free

Heh heh...yes, my GS definitely does stand out a bit in the crowd up here in Cleveland I think that I might lower it about another 1/2" but on the front...but I'm waiting 'til I get my rims in before I make that decision.

Looks great! How loud is the Tanabe? I've heard conflicting reports. When I saw the license plate on the GS I thought "Awww that sux, somebody else already had tranman so he had to add a 2" then I realized it was you that had tranman on your Eclipse!

Well, at first, it wasn't all that loud...relatively quiet. Now that it's broken in....yes, it's a bit on the loud side, but not annoying. You only really hear it on the lower gears in the high RPMs and WOT....and on the highway, at WOT....you can hear the exhaust a tad bit while cruising on the highway, but the stereo can easily overpower it.

I had a customer take off a Tanabe Hyper Medallion from his GS400 because he said it was too loud for his tastes.....he didn't like the loud rumble at lower cruising speeds when he accelerated....but was happy at highway speeds. So for a "normal" person, it might be a little on the loud side.....but I don't imagine it being louder than the GReddy PE/EVO or Blitz NuR Spec exhausts.
