Default 05 GTO Phantom Black, Red Interior, Mods

Now that I got my car back, I did a few modifications. Rear facia, painted to match. BMR Strut Tower brace, 04, but it fits perfect. Carmotorsports, wheel graphics, side moulding graphics, hood graphics, and rear facia GTO graphics. Yokohama AVS ES100 Tires, 235-45-17 front, 255-40-17 rear. K&N replacement airbox filter for 04, fits perfect, works great. Cornering and transient response is phenomenal!! H.P. & Torque, noticeably improved. All in all, it really Kicks ***!

Here's what I do when I need to lower a file size:

Right click on the original picture and select "Edit" which will bring the picture up in MS Paint. From there, select "Image" and then "Stretch/Skew..." change both the Horizontal and Vertical numbers to 90 (or guess what it'd take to shrink it enough) and then "File" "Save As..." and add a 1 (or whatever you choose) to the file name and save. Then you can go into the folder as before and compare the before and after file size.
