I have a 2002 and drive about 70/30 and am getting about 19mpg. My V-8 Lincoln got 23? :(

Has anyone had problems with the paint on the front bumper and hood of their GS. Mine is peeling in places, and seems to chip constantly. The dealership is supposed to repaint the bumper, but my concerns lye in the hood.

I recently purchased a large set of Ichibaun for my GS, they are much larger than the stock, but don't change the sound of the car. They were about $100 plus $20 for welding but they really draw attention to the car, and I have received a number of compliments on them.

You are correct in regard to the borla exhaust, I was thinking of an Apexi catback and the xerd headers. any idea as to the the amount of sound produced by the apexi, ie am i going to be able to stand it. I like the idea of a torque converter, but from what I understand it will void my warranty.

I have had the same problem on my 300, especially every time the dealer balances them (especially between 50 and 70, but not over 70). I have aftermarket wheels and the problem was so bad that I considered selling the car. Yesterday I had a specialty shop rebalance the wheels and add centering rings. The problem is completely gone. I am not selling the car now, and am adding more mods.

I own a 2002 GS300 Sport Design. I have added an SRT intake and computer, new speakers and amps, 18" Giovanni as well as some other minor modifications. I am really not happy with the cars performance and would like to get just a little more from it. I had an L Tuned exhaust, but had it removed as I felt like I was driving a honda civic. I am considering adding Xerd headers to the car and a Borla cat back. Do you think this will really wake the car up, or should I just start looking for a 430, as it doesn't seem practical to spend $7000 an a turbo or supercharger. Would also appreciate any suggestions you may have.
