Thanks guys. The Hooker catback is on order, clear corners are on order, calling to get an appointment for tint this week, and planning on pulling the rear bumper and doing the CETA-rear bumper as well as polishing the taillights and tinting them in the next few weekends. By the end of July I hope to have the car "finished" and dyno tuned just to make sure the tune is still right and to see what it puts down after the M6 swap.

No downgrade. The GTO isn't going anywhere. I'd sell everything I have with wheels on it before I sold the GTO. This is an upgrade from my old daily driver 165,000 mile '95 Dodge Neon.

One more rough 'chop to get an idea...



Tinted tailights (I'd prefer some LS1 honeycombs but they're $$$ and tinted taillights are a $12 can of VHT Niteshades and some patience), CETA-style rear bumper, and the tinted windows and lowering of course. This 'chope doesn't reflect the dual/dual tips that will be on the car and fill out the rear bumper opening a little better either...

And after seeing BadMonkey's post I'm thinking if I can get the car riding and driving the way I want it to I'll most likely be springing for some Arizen seats the first chance I get, possibly with WS.6 stitched in just like his have SS stitched in.

Arizen does NOT stich anything into their seats... They basically iron on cloth to it... I'm going to PM you with a really cool idea (IMO) for your car

I like the grey outlined by red (on the TRANS-AM and RAM-AIR) but it is kind of odd since it is the opposite of the WS6 emblem's theme... I would buy more and reverse the color combo (or get DRAGON's TRANS-AM in poilised with red in the center, to match the WS6 in the back...).

I LOVE WS6 LT1's !!! If that were my car I would get chrome Z06 rims and have the center spokes painted in a charcoal grey metallic, leaving the lip chrome and add a Comp T/A style stripe:







...but charcoal grey with a silver/chrome outline

Thanks man. I've always admired your vehicles too. Means alot coming from a fellow enthusiast with a good eye.

Here is a more accurate representation of what the car will look like soon. I dont think I'm going to drop it that much. The hose mod on the stock rear springs should be enough to kill that extra gap as the front already sits pretty nicely.
