Default NooB from NC.

sup all? im matt from wilmington, nc. 25, married, work as an instrumentation/controls technician. just bought an 06 gto m6.

got a lot to learn as this is my first lsx powered car, but i plan to keep it for a good while so ill be around reading/learning and posting up as i go.

headlights are pretty rough, particularly the pass side one, i tried to wetsand/buff it out but i think its a loss cause. kinda bummed the only aftermarket lights are halo/led but looks like the route ima have to go bc i aint spending $700 on an oem pair.

also, ive searched, but anyone know the foglight wire colors for these? i believe the previous owner had hid's installed. there are no bulbs and the wires have been spliced in the past bc there are just pin connectors on the fog light wires (i think its the fog light wires)

the car also looks pretty low, rear sits only an inch or so above the tires, slight rear rake... but it appears to have stock springs. :/ dont remember other ones ive seen sit that low but maybe i just never paid it much attn
