Wanted to share some mods and pics with you all. Got some new mods done this year. Everything is comming together well. Looks, performance, and overall these things just work very well together.
I installed some Pedders parts, a new steering wheel, Wilwood front brakes, and new RUFF wheels.
The Pedders parts list is front radius rod bushings (both ends), and inner lower control arm bushings. As well as 5/16" drag springs.
The brake upgrades are front red 6 piston Wilwwods, and the rears have been upgraded to ceramic pads, and 06' vented rotors.
The wheels are a staggard set of 18" RUFF 278's with a Hyper Black finish. The measurments are front 18x8.5 with 35MM offset, and 245-40-18 Toyo Proxes. The rears are 18x9.5 with 45MM offset, and 275-35-18 Toyo Proxes. Combine these sizes with the Toyo tires and the Pedders drag springs. Not one rub yet, and I did not roll the fenders. I might have to once the springs settle. I won't till I see any rub marks though.
The steering wheel is a JHP special. Two tone with red and black HSV sports wheel.
I also included a pic of my new SLP line lock button. At least I think it is a clean install.
Enjoy the pics, and give feedback if you like.

I only like select SAP parts. Just thought that 04' needed something. The Monaro concersion is for a new project on another GTO later in the year.
JamesSS, best I got so far is 13.009 @ 108.79 with a 2.2 60'. I have since added 3.91's and a much needed dyno tune. I am hoping for 12.8-12.7.

AshyLarry, the Wilwoods are really worth the $$$. I will be track testing them on April 7th at Lime Rock. I can tell you there is a 100% improvement in just street driving.
ULTIMATEORANGESS , thank you. The grills are so had to find. I am wondering if they may become missing one day. I hope not though. I bought them before I got the car to my house. You can check out the rims at Hooters April 14th.
WhiteDeathLS1, thanks. I will find out the 1/4 mile tomorrow. Taking her up for the first TT of the year.
interrex , if you got the kit from JHP, all the parts should be there to make it work. BTW, you have an e-mail.
White_Ls1, thanks. The Z is looking hot in white.

I have two ideas about the spoiler. Either delete it, or go with the JHP lip spoiler. I am more for the delete. That way I can use the plugs, and not worry about welding holes or making new ones.
