Default First time 2GS

I've had the car for almost a year now. I wanted something to daily drive because driving an eight yr old MR2 turbo back and forth to work just isn't practical and so I picked up a 2GS. The photo were taken with a Sony NEX-5... Cheers!



-AME Shallen LX 20x9 +25 20x10 +30 (conservative I know)
-Kazz-Sport Chrome headlight and tailight trim
-Megan EZ coilovers
-DDM 55w 10,000k HID (I wish I had a retro)

chObert - I swear it came with the chrome, I've been told plenty of times to remove them from friends but I think they're going to stay... It helps me find my car at the mall haha

maxXx430 - thanks, you're the first one to say that... EVER haha

I would get rid of the chrome trim on the rear tail lights. Honestly though, the chrome on the front doesn't look too bad. I think it would look better without it, but it works with the white car.

Sweet ride... One thing is missing though... You need clear side markers. Get rid of that amber bro!
