Exclamation My 2006 Pontiac GTO Finished

Well, I consider the exterior finished anyways.















It has the GM SAP front fascia extension, GM SAP side skirts, Holden Monaro CV8-R wheels, and the grilles, inserts and hood scoops are painted semi-gloss black. That's all it took.

The interior is getting some tweaks next, then I'll start on the powertrain.

I'm very thrilled with the car and it gets kudos wherever it goes.

Here is a quick chop with the bumper molded. The imaging software on my work comp is different than what I have at home so pardon the quality.

No, he painted the hood vents.

Very nice job man. The BOM/Black theme is working well on your car. Keep up the good work.

When I saw the first pic with the wheels I was like hmmmm and then as I scrolled down through them all they grew on me and I like um. They look good on your car but I could see them looking horrible on others. Love the color but I am partial because anything orange in any shade has always been my favorite since I was about five. One day Ill have an Fbody in SOM in my garage...I hope. Nice goat!

+1. He did a damn good job at painting them. The black and orange theme looks good. Definitely one of the cleanest GTO's I've seen

I've admired the photos of your ride on the GTO forum as well.
