Default GTO Grilles are in

Only took about 2 hrs, most of which was spent trying to find the "clips" that hold the side of the front facia on. I think it's a LOT better looking. We'll see how long it takes for the wife to notice.

VERY nice, man I saw an 05 go down the street yesterday dark blue very sharp car. Understated compared to a WS6 yes but nicer than other cars in that class...

It was very cloudy when I took those. I'll take another now that the sun is breaking thru (after I wash it of course!)

And I agree Bobby, it's not as sharp as the WS6s are, but with the hood, grille inserts & dual exhasut (to come) I think they are pretty nice looking cars. I love the blue & yellow cars, but we got a deal on this silver one we couldn't turn down. It's more Beemer looking, but when I'm done it will lok good. I want to chrome the wheels too. And then when Ellis & I make the hood functional.. ...

Not positive, but I think the GTO's have a slightly different bolt pattern spacing. I think the wheels will go on, but the studs are just slightly not centered in the holes. Might want to search that one before attempting a wheel swap with an Fbod, just to be on the safe side.

I don't think they fit either Mike. The guy at Les Schwab told me they are the same bolt pattern (4 3/4") but the GTO has front wheel drive offsets, so regular wheels won't clear. I'm sure I will find out soon enough.

It does look much nicer Mark. Glad your finally getting all of your pieces for it, it makes a big differance in how it looks.
