John, my detailer, took these and did an excellent job as usual in the detail. Of course, he is no NJ when it comes to taking pics

Enjoy.















Your Specimen looks great Nish. Stew

I saw that front grill Nish and thought for one fleeting moment, what in the world did Nish put over his star?

Then I remembered... his most treasured possession after family of course!

Nish.....Your vehicle really looks great. I may have missed it in another thread, but I wnated to ask you where you got that cover for the big, center star in your front grill? I really like it and want to purchase one. Thanks.

Have to chuckle...he paid $3100 for it since it comes with the Distronic option...:-)

I guess you could buy the plastic cover from the parts department but you would have to find an adhesive to mount it.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. That Black is so hard to keep clean (and trust me, I tried) but when it's clean and shiny, it looks amazing.

Bingo. We are like clean car freaks in SoCal. I have not seen so many car wash/per capita anywhere else in the Country. The sun is out today and it's supposed to rain tomorrow but all the washes were backed up this AM.

How in the devil did you load up the wheels like that and keep it off the paint? I mean, the tires are filthy and yet your exterior looks like Nish's detail guy had just done it.

BTW... that hill in the background looks like it would be great for sledding!

I was pleasantly surprised that there was little spray on the body. Kinda makes me question the need for mudflaps. There's something beautiful about the contrast between the mud and the pristine paint.

The GL pulled though admirably. And of course the ride was incredibly smooth compared to the Chevy 4X4 I rode through this area in previously.

FYI......found out the OEM part number is 164-888-0311. At autopartspeople.com, the MSRP is $125.00, but they'll sell it for $96.25.

Heres mine, nothing real fancy. Its a 320 with the 19's and running boards. Only thing I've added were the chrome hood fins:

Nice shot and very nice GL!

If that is Chesapeake Bay in the background I am homesick!

Really like the looks of those fins too canvasback. Thanks for sharing a great shot with us all. We don't get to see lakes around here with liquid water for another 4 months!

NJ-

Yes thats the chesapeake. I have a place on the eastern shore where I fish and hunt. Thats just my normal parking spot across from our house. It's a pretty good view. The view on the other side of the house is equally impressive. It over looks a river a couple miles wide. The strip of land our house is on is less than 100 yards across.
