I'm kinda bummed about the news or the G.S.'s. It takes away the uniqueness and all the hard work that was involved in doing the conversion. Now someone can just go out and buy the car. However, I think G.M. should have done this a long time ago. Kinda typical of G.M. it seems. They (R & D) must think and think and think before anything gets done. Thats why it takes so long to give the costomers what they want. The timing of the G.S is good for future business I think.

LOL... Congrats, great looking car... You have time to do that later if you want... A "Catch 22" for alot of us... keep modding current car/ save money and buy a GS? When considering the trouble/ hassle of selling/ trading and getting a fair price for your current car, is the move to a GS a smart one...? Me personally, I really like the color of my car, LMB, which is no longer available... I kinda like Cyber Gray, but not as much as LMB. There is the move up to a LS3/ 430HP+ also, but with a few mods, exhaust CAI, exhaust... a LS2 can come close to matching a LS3...? Decisions, decisions...? I'm leaning towards keeping my car.. and building my own "widebody."

You really have done an awesome job on your conversion and for an even more eye popping look on the rims have the barrels painted red, my buddy did it on his Z06 and it is a sweet look

I agree about the barrels needing a little something. I was thinking a satin black. I will probably paint them next week while installing the new pads. Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Looks great. Your wheels compliment the red/black theme quite nicely. Some carbon fibre headlight buckets would look really sweet.
