Maybe I'm crazy... but I like it, maybe if it were in a different color, like black.

I like the "coke bottle" fender flares, I don't like the "I just slammed into a wall" front Fascia.

It does look good, but do you think it is leading towards the tuner look to much...

I like it. The front might take a little getting used to, but I think I like it. Need to see it in person.

Not bad. Those old school Pontiac Tailpipes that are angled downward are kind of pushing it though.

This is what you people who don't like the nice clean looks of the 2003 GTO asked for.

Good eye on those 2nd gen T/A exhaust tips!

Car looks mean.

A contact pointed out the twin MAF setup. Car has a CTS-V race motor in it of some sort, an LS2 or something. Should sound wicked.

Hehehe. I've seen enough late model 2nd gen Birds to know those style of tailpipes. Guess the GTO wasn't the only car they went back to for styling cues.

Put one in the dealer's showroom that looks more like that, and I'll end up with one in my garage...

The exhaust tips are styled "like" the 1964 / 1965 GTO. The entire exhaust system is 3", with dual 3" outlets for tips. It has chambered mufflers, and is very loud. If you are at the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend, you can see and hear it in person. It is sweet music to a gear head!!!!!
