Like the grill revision, not crazy about the hood though. Maybe it's because of the splitter, adding holes to the hood makes it look like to many. (or maybe it's just the stylign of the hood)

Needs a spoiler too. But otherwise, sweet car.

hood seems too flat for having those inlets. I like the rise of the WS6 hood better. Not neccessarily on this car but you know what I mean. Also I like the lack of spoiler. That car looks awesome.

EDIT: also I wish the doors were longer.

Wheels are pathetic. Matches the GTP styling. What doesn't GM make the car look sporty rather then a sporty soccer mom deal.

Gorgeous goat! I never thought much of that Cyclone Grey color, but it looks good in those pics. Car looks alot better without that wing. I wish the grille inserts were painted a contrasting grey. I'm still waiting for someone to "Pontiac up" those tailights on the GTO. Tint them or blister them or something. Make it look like a Pontiac from behind, not a '89 Taurus.

That color is beautiful. Not a fan of the hood, and the rims don't match the car well IMO. But I definitely love that color.

Not bad looking.
Does the owner live in Missouri? I saw a Goat on the road that looked just like that (wheels could have been different, the car was moving so it was hard to tell, but they were definetly aftermarket.)

i like the car, and i like the rims, but i don't like the car+rims.

they just don't "mesh" with the car the right way, IMO

and yes, it does need a spoiler (NOT a huge wing, a spoiler)

Thanks for the comments.Some will like it and some won't ,I just tried taking the spoiler off to see how it looks and thought it flowed well with no spoiler. Ever since having my trans am I've been a 5 spoke wheel kinda guy but just tring something different.Maybe I'll switch to 5 spokes someday,I'm known for never leaving something alone
