2018 Regal GS
Figured I would post my progress in my own thread on my GS I’m slowly working on.
I got the car last year, she’s a 2018.
Had 5000km on it when I got it, at a little over 22,000 now and it’s my daily.

Just started modifying it a couple weeks ago.
So far I have the windows tinted with ceramic Tint which holy crap it works well!
Swapped the mufflers out, unfortunately it has some drone which I will fix with a helmoltz resonator when I get around to finding out what frequency it is.
The wheels turned out SO well, I’m getting matching Bronze Vinyl to wrap the roof, the ducts and the “wings” in the grill.

And today I got the H&R springs in the car which I’m SUPER happy with the ride and the stance!

Going to be doing some intake work on it. Probably larger throttle body and ported intake manifold later this year.
I will update with another post when the vinyl gets done!

Are you doing your own wrapping?

Not the roof, I didn’t want to deal with that. After this is done anything else I will likely do myself. I have messed with smaller pieces before and it’s really not bad. But to get the antenna off and all that PITA work I really didn’t want to mess with that.

Nice job!!
 
unfortunately not! I dont have a schedule with my work so i need to be a "Drop In" and they are incredibly busy currently....
 
That looks awesome! Could you post the brand & model for the wheels? 5x115 was kinda hard to find when I was shopping around for winter wheels, and seeing that you went for the same size wheels as stock I think it's a viable option for me as well.

Also for the springs, I know modern cars are clever with all the sensors and stuff and was a bit worried the altered ride height might trigger warnings or malfunctions in the active suspension system, is there anything you noticed or is it driving as good as, if not better, than before?

Thanks for posting!
