Tints this weekend too. Can't wait to see the final outcome. I wish it was spring already.

Congrats and welcome!
Welcome to both of you new GS owners. I like the tint in my black one but am a chrome wheel fan. You can sell the chrome ones you are replacing in the for sale section quickly.

Default Can i too get out of the wood works...

Hey Chris welcome and enjoy your fine car couple of things in common here, I just picked up a grand sport last Dic 9 with 17.5 k miles auto and is too torch red, guess what! - already added a Vararam cold air intake, ported the throttle body, intake manifold, heads intake ports and tuned it, I estimate some 60 wheel horse power added, I'm in south Florida so I use it almost every day.

Didn't see this one coming, my buddy died (a member of this forum) and his wife called and asked to give her ten k$ and keep the car, I said I keep the car but I don't have the 10 k -she said come and get it, I want you to have it, I just got to make the payments of $758. including full cover insurance.

I won't stop till I do the car everything my buddy Juan, a first Golf war Iraq veteran wanted to do to the car and never got to.

Congratulations on the new beauty and welcome to the forum! You've got a great car. I guess all the TR GS owners are coming out of the woods. For a moment I thought this was a TR GS thread! Enjoy her! Summer will soon be here!

Plans are to track it as much as I can and have fun with it on the weekends. Should be doing Mid Ohio in April, I'm coming from tracking an ITR and an E46 M3 so it's gonna be a whole new world, can't wait!
Enjoy your new to you Grand Sport.
You'll soon learn just how much fun they can be.

Ignore donwil, he's actually a nice guy. Just been off his medication for the past few days.
