Love the new rear and the grille inserts. Dunno about that revised lower front end though. And I really wish the package included some new rubber. Man a few of those Aussie wheel options would be a big w00t. Nice job though. Good to see Pontiac offering body mod options from the factory. Kudos to them. I'm sure a lot of people will like the new pipes.

....Though I would prefer it if "GTO" wasn't embossed on the lower valance, it's rather repetitive considering there is a badge a foot higher on the car.

I sure hope the scoops being 'available' for '05 means that you can order without. Personally I like stock better than any of these - and while I like the spoiler, a spoiler delete would have been nice.
Now, the grey rear valence that's on the red car here is supposed to be the stock look for the '05s?

I like the color and I like the lines of the body kit, and I like the rear spoiler. The car would look to plain without it. I don't consider it rice and I think it looks European, almost like something from Volvo. Volvo builds some bad *** cars if you find people that know how to work with them. I like the Volvo V70 R, the station wagon. I'm in my 30's and have always had a fondness for wagons that haul ***. No, I don't have a family and am not married, and hope to hell that I never am in this day and time. I would have my GTO in Barbados Blue. I think the wheel and tire package look great also. I also like the fact that it's got an IRS rear. Nevermind all the boohooing and nitpicking of the quarter milers.
Thanks for the pictures, I appreciate it.

I'm sorry but thing is just hideous. The only thing good about it is the split exhaust on the bumper. None of the other add-ons flow with the '04 GTO body lines..... YUCK! I don't care if the '05 will be a 400hp LS2... if it looks like that I'm glad I have a '04 instead. Just my $.02

Oh yeah, anyone else notice those wheels on the barbados blue car are not the '04 wheels. They look the same, but if you look at how the spokes meet the rim, they are totally different. They kinda look like 18's too... notice the smaller sidewall. I don't mind the '04 wheels, but why make anothe set that look almost the same but yet different???? WTF is GM doing here??
