Default GTO Spoilerless, and Side Badgeless

I took the spoiler off 2 weeks ago, and the side markers got here last week, finally got around to taking some pictures.







What do you guys think?

I kinda like it. Seems to make the rear quarter panels look aggressive. I would like to see that combo with rear wheels with a deeper lip than the front.

That looks good, looks a little raked . And you're keeping the mods on the GTO strictly appearance, right?

Of course why else would he get an LS1 GTO instead of the LS2

Yeah, I did. I don't have any pics yet. I'm hoping to get my new tips on tomorrow, then wash her up and snap a couple pics.

The side markers look good on that car. How long before it needs a cage?

Well, to each his own. Personally I don't like it. Maybe in person I would, but the few pics I've seen of guys that have done this don't do anything for me. The GTOs are too plain for me already....

I like plain, Thus a Camaro vs. Trans Am. I personaly think that WS6s are gawdy and over styled.

But, on that note I don't want everybody to drive a car just like mine. That would be pretty darn boring...

I was just thinking that Mark...to me the GTO has always looked like an overgrown Toyota or something, now take off the Spoiler and all the badges and it would really look like a Toyota!

I like how it looks, but I think it really SCREAMS for a set of wheels now. I never did care for those stock wheels, it needs something a little more classy.

Wouldn't "spoilerless" be the same as unspoiled?

Anyway... looks really good!

Default spoilerless...?

Personally, I like it. I took mine off just for pix. so I could put them on my desktop. The wheels do help. I think a sunroof would help too. Just waiting on $$$.

I personally think the rear decklid looks kinda funny w/o the spoiler... in the pics it just looks like it drops off. Course I drive a gawdy overstyled Trans Am, so what do I know
