To the Original poster: Gloss black will look great on your red GS with red or white decal stickers.

My GS is starfire pearl/white. I have the stock 18's and had mine done in red with white decals:

I am kind of thinking a dark blue with a red or white logo. I am tired of the red calipers although they looked good on my silver ES's.

Did mine in black with white lettering/logo. Subtle, but I notice!

Looks good, I'm thinking about blue or black to match my platinum silver exterior. How long did it take it to you to get it all done? was it difficult?

If you didn't need to wait for the paint to dry (I did two coats), this would be a 15 minutes per side. The "hardest" part was jacking up the car and removing the wheel!

I will say, special care needs to be taken to make certain the vinyl lettering/logo is aligned properly.
