I don't care, it's cool. And technically not mine but I'm the only one that drives it so hey.

Also, just some further information, yes both of the hubcaps on the other side are missing as well and yes I am aware that the front bumper is the wrong colour (blame the mechanics who replaced it by just painting over a completely different coloured one, as well as the rainfall that followed)

quick update
battys almost running just need to wire in ecu and crank it up! found some more info on engine has only been used for dyno time, made 611hp atw. got some new wheels to. running 18x9+15 with 255s on front and 18x10+35 with 255s on back

and sold my turbo ef and the mrs eg civic and bought this 01 dc5r:) put the works of batty onto it to, 17x9 on back 17x8 on front, best daily. and have my old ek4 sir back now to for when battys not running lol
 
This is my 1999 Civic EX. I bought some Diamond racing steelies for it, but I am still waiting for spacers for the front. Anyway besides the wheels the car has a full Integra LS swap. After I get my wheels fitted I will be looking at some Tein coilovers. I am not looking for this car to be anything fast, I just want it to look nice.

Can we trade? I like that one AND it's L-tuned. And FINALLY another person who drives a GS.

I'd trade for your paint. :P Mine's not exactly in the greatest shape... Interior isn't bad though, pretty much exactly the same as yours. The seller even threw in the...curb rashed stock wheels. (Luckily with the center caps)

I originally was looking for a silver GS or even a gray one. Black wasn't my priority, but it was $5,561 at the BMW dealership in one of the major cities, so I took it. There's a white GS 400 near me right now and I'm cringing like hell because I wanted the 400 the most. Sooo unfair. :( Funny how they threw in the tires though. Mines are a bit... bald.
 
@MedigoFlame did you sell your Mazda6 wagon?
Indeed I did sell it a while back... Been borrowing my brother's Suzuki for a while.

Yeah, the tires were bald on those and some were actually cracked. Thought I'd work those stock wheels into the deal as well. Absolutely love the pearl white too.

What made you get a GS, if you don't mind me asking? I got it because it ticked off all the stuff I wanted in a car and I've been enjoying it since October 17. The GS just eats miles and you wouldn't even realize it. Just wish the MPG was better (but that's because I tend to floor it a little bit).

Wanted something that could be more reliable as my previous car, a 2004 Mazda6 Sport wagon was riddled with issues. I loved it, but the issues outweighed the positives... Ended up having to sell it before it got any worse. Went on the search and for some reason found myself fixated on the Lexus IS300 Sportcross wagon, but failed to find any within 200 miles... IS300 sedans were high priced or horribly modified (mostly on CL)... Then finally came to my senses with getting a 2nd gen GS. Was considering a local-ish one that was $5k, but had a lot of miles. Ended up being poorly beat up by the owner's teenage daughter... Went back to my search and came across this L-Tuned model in Massachusetts.

IS300s down here are moderate to high priced around here too. I wouldn't get the IS anyway because the GS... is faster than it or at least can run at the same pace if it's automatic.
Anyways, enjoy the car man. I have been and I honestly would get another one instead of a brand new car... with the GTE motor or the 1UZ/3UZ V8 that is.
 
That's in surprisingly good shape. I'm currently on the look out of an old 240 wagon myself for my winter car, seems like the perfect choice.
