QUOTE=islandbeef;11413903]My 10 year old Obsidian F-Sport with rock chips and swirl marks. All I wanted for Christmas was to give my daily driver a refresh detail and color correction. I think I'll keep her a little longer.
The engine bay is clean. I miss the 2006 engine bay side covers.
It looks great with the wheels and front spacers (I have the same ones) and I love the idea for the DRL lenses. That made a huge and much needed difference. I may want to try that on my 2016 DRLs for an even more diffused look. What was the process for that?
Thanks man! Appreciate all the info on the wheel/spacer setup. In regards to the headlights, full disclosure I bought them after they had already been modded by someone else. I can't speak to the exact process he used but from what I understand he baked the headlight open to separate the lense from the housing. From there I was told the DRL lense is easily removed. Not sure what the process for sandblasting was, but it looks to me like it was only done lightly and on the inside of the DRL lense. All the interior shiny/chrome bits were painted black and the orange turn signal reflectors were removed. Pretty happy with how they look on the car but am toying with the idea of selling them and swapping my stock headlights back in.
@BMGS the triple beams look great! I think it really makes the GS stand out...Now all you need are the fogs to complete the full JDM front-end treatment!

Of course! Sounds like a lot of work, I am wondering if a transparent/frosted vinyl overlay can provide the same effect.

Thanks! I have been holding off on the foglights but if I run out of things to do, they will be back on the list!
Hey @BMGS ... Looking good as usual... but what's up with the roof wrapped in plastic across the street? You can just see a hint of it at the top right. Passed by it tonight as I was scooting around the neighborhood... never seen that done before.

Thank you and I wish I knew the deal with that roof, it's been like that for way too long!
Still think the 13-15 F Sport Front with a Lip looks the best of all the GS's. Nice Lip, not to heavy and looks Factory. I'm working on 13-15 F Sport conversion with Lip myself.
