I like the Red GS fender marks! I think I'm going to put them on my black car!


Sorry I should have said, I like your black GS marks, I think I'll put red ones on my black car.

Grocery getter

Nice night out on the town with my lady

What did you use for mounting the calipers to the knuckle?
Would a 17" wheel like a zr1 style fit? Or do you have to go to 18" wheels?

Thanks in advance!
