wow i really like that kit. And thats the nav i plan on using in my ta as well as my gto when i almost bought one. I dont like the paint the rims or those speakers in between the seats and i especially dont like the trunk stuff but everything else on that car is sick. I guess thats basically the body kit hood spoiler and nav.

to be honest, if it was all one color...like all red, and the inside was stock...i'd pimp it.

doesn't look TOO over done...nothing like some of the things i've seen before...

Yeah it was way overdone on the interior. They should have saved the cash and left it stock and left it nicer looking. I couldn't even drive the thing like that.

The underhood was over done to, they should have left it one color.

The hood doesn't go with the paint scheme. Either a flat hood with no scoops or one color for the car.

Otherwise it looks almost identical to an Eclispe that I sat in out in Austin, well minus the non-functional roof scoop.

The car is done really well, and looks like a GM demo vehicle, but personally I prefer cleaner lines and a cleaner overall appearance.

Paint it one color, get rid of everything that says "gto or Pontiac" and the car would be nice.

Plus what's with the boost gauge? It's N/A unless I missed something.

He was probably trying to go with the "Drifting" theme on that one. I'll give the guy an "A" for quality, but a "C-" for execution. The wheels do NOT match the theme of the car, they look blingmaster-G, needs a racing wheel. The interior....just sucks. Too much "GTO" crap plastered all over the car. Here is most likely the guy's idol, Rhys Millen:
