How was the HID install? I wanna say my friend mentioned that changing the headlights isn't exactly a walk in the park... Other than that the car looks ******* sick. The 06 tails compliment the tint perfectly, that's a nice front lip you got on there, and that's not lowered is it?

Its stock height right now. The King springs will give it more of a rake by lowering the front half an inch but thats the only thing thats changing stance-wise. The HIDs weren't a walk in the park. I had to remove the radiator cover, airbox, and battery to get an workable space... and I went ahead and pulled the entire front bumper cover for even more to mount the ballasts. I mounted the low-beam ballasts to the flat metal to either side of the radiator and mounted the foglight ballasts to a flat area under each headlight. I also had to hole-saw the protective rear cover of the headlights to fit the HID wiring through and sealed it with a grommet on each side and silicone caulk. Past that it was pretty much plug and play. Not a complicated install by any means. I just took my time and made sure everything was right. The HIDs are pretty nice. I've never even ridden in an HID car before this so its a nice change.

Thanks for the info, pretty much what he had told me too. Rake should be nice, rear is already somewhat low with a nice gap it looks like.

What size wheels and tires are those. That is probably the best looking GTO I have ever seen.

Gorgeous.....ive been struggling with the idea of trading the hawk for a GTO and this is NOT helping at all. I just love that it can have the classy look but still look mean.

Thanks Shane. I really appreciate it coming from you. When you taking some pics of it man? Last weekend of this month work for you? If so let me know and I'll probably come out there to hang for Friday night and most of Saturday. The new little lady goes to school out at UT so I'll be out that way that weekend but she works Friday nights and Saturday days so just let me know man.
