Thanks for the kind words guys. We tried to get some at the wheel numbers today but once it went into boost it started spinning the tires on the dyno. We should have some soon.
I'm not sure if we are selling the flares yet. I am sure it's been talked about. I'll post it here if we do.
Here are two other pics in a different thread.
The airbox made to work with the factory 05 hood.
And a little meth action.
Notice the fill hose on the meth tank going up to the factory location. You can fill both tanks by opening the fuel door.

Wanna trade? 
So is the front and rear bumper plastics factory and just stretched to fit the curve of the flare or is that custom molded composite also? I like the flares... I bet those are hard to blend in to the factory metal. Is the stock fender under the flare and trimmed up some or is it a whole new fender? That almost looks like the WRX's 'flare' on the front and rear.

lol.
Now that you mention it I see the WRX type flare in it. The car uses stock bumpers. I believe we wanted to stay away from making new since the mold would be huge! The flares are attached to the the stock fenders using an OEM quality adhesive similar to what is used on the modern Corvette. After that it's a bunch of blending time. Quite a job considering the color choice.
And I can vouch for all 4 corners blending together very, very smooth.

If you guys are serious, register at www.ls1gto.com and post about it there for feedback. I can envision a demand for people who might want to use your flares and the Gravana hood to replicate the look of GM's Ram Air 6 GTO concept car from last fall. You could really be on to something.

Thank for the tip sir.
I thought about posting over there in the near future but wanted to get an OK to do so. I'm kind of thinking the same as you.
I feel it adds a certain toughness factory that was missing in the original design.
The GTO name.....I mean, it should look tough.
I'll be passing all internet feedback to the right people.

Can I drop my car off at your shop and pick it up awhile later looking (and running) like that one?? I like the flares, the induction system using the hood, the wheel/tires and Oh, I like the motor too!!
It would be great if the R&D for this car trickled down to the everyday GTO owner.
