Nah, I dont mind. It was about $2500. That includes shipping on the parts from Oz and the body shop labor to install, paint, etc. I then sold my old parts for around $1000.....so total cost was about $1500.

Mucho Props man! Doesn't look like a Gran Prix or Grand Am anymore When I see the fronts GTOs at stoplights I think its a grand prix then I have to do a double take

Good choice on conversion

Looks very nice man, and the price you did it for is killer. I hate the look of GTOs but the Monaro, I have always liked. Dont know why GM couldnt just leave it that way.

Actually, I cant take credit for the idea. dede, on LS1GTO.com did it first with his 04. I did take it a bit further...I bought the Monaro calipers and the Holden keys, but he was the first.

Wow, awesome job man. I dont know why so many people dont like the way GTO's look. I love them, but i do like your car more than a stock GTO. Nice Job.

I don't want to be the party pooper here, but the best part of it is ditching the rear spoiler ...
