I sold my GT and upgraded to a GTS, pretty much broke even and I must say how much i love this 2zz its awesome it's so powerful!!! better pics later..
leather interior, AEM intake, lots of upgrades.. I put the Stock hood back on to try to refinish the carbon fiber one so that the only difference.





LIFT is awesome



Got the whip tinted


Looks so different with tint

Needs a debage, stat! that GTS badge is like a call out to the annoying ricers. It looks SO much clenaer without that or toyota back there. Get red letter inlays for the hatch handle cover to match the red rim pin stripe.

also...
NEEDS A STUBBY ANTENNA STAT!!

ehhhhh IDK about badge removal, I am a fan of the GTS badge.... as for the antenna, I already ordered it's on it's way biggrin.gif and the red letter inlays is a good idea, thanks!

Looks like a clean car and if you broke even, you definitely got a good deal.

what all does it take to refinish the hood?

Well my friend is going to do it I think rubbing compound and some other stuff such as polishes and wax and a buffer. It's carbon fiber so idk if it can be restored it was really oxidized, as u can see in the pictures so I put the stock hood on. Hopefully the carbon fiber is salvageable.

you can sand down through the damaged resin and have it re-resined or re-cleared and then finished to a nice gloss again....assuming its not been damaged INTO the CF. If thats the case then have it sanded, resined, and painted except for the middle stripe or something.

Ohhhhhh nice I love that drop, I'm def. Lowering it. The seller also gave me the stock gts rims which I'm a fan of. The tires on the black rims are new so I wouldn't change them out any time soon but I sure love those gts rims. Very nice and yours is black too!
