This is my 2010 GSR. I'll be picking it up from the shop in a week. Darton sleeves and lots more. Just have to save my pretty pennies for a GTX3576R

clear coat cracking!

had my 08 gsr for about 5 years now, clear coat started cracking bad right before i moved from FL to CA and progressively has gotten worse over the past year. With that i tried everything to salvage my paint, but no luck sooooo, found an awesome shop here in SD, 'My Diamond Motors' had the car stripped, sanded, resprayed, wet sanded & looks 900X better.

couldn't be happier with the work;

Looks awesome! Do you have your roof wrapped black? I can't quite tell. That's on my list for this year.
