I don't exactly need the back seats, but it would be nice to have if I feel like driving one night and have more than 1 person with me.

The one I post alot on, well haven't been on it in a month or so, is actually a really cool one. Everyone is laid back, there are a few dickbags on there who think they know everything. It's by far one of my favorite forums to be on.

17" back, 21" front.

I have the 17s for the front here but I got skinnies mounted on them but I don't trust myself driving around on skinnies.

Take 'em off the car, wash em, and spray about 4-5 coats, with the first being a light mist (almost like a 50/50 transparency). Let it dry up and then put em back on. If you don't like it, you peel it off by hand. Its literally that simple.

You can paint the entire wheel as just 1 coat. It peels off either way. Easier to do it that way. Best way to do it would be to take the wheels off, wash em, clean em, put armorall on the tires, and then paint em up. Any overspray won't adhere to the tires much with armorall on, and you can just peel it off either way.

1. LS1 WS6
2. 06' GTO
3. 03-04 Cobra

I'm guessing you are looking for a 2 door coupe?

Another for the list:

LS swapped FD.

My uncle has a 93 waiting to be fixed right now. I wish I could somehow get it, sell my GT and LS swap it then throw some CCW classics on it He would probably give it to me, but then again I'm not sure if that is what he wants to do with it. It's supposed to be going to a shop soon to get fixed, they need to LS swap the damn thing.

Mostly because I hate them. Worst Gm muscle car ever made. Not good at anything it should be good at. Only thing that would somewhat redeem it is the interior, but even that isn't amazing. and it looks like a jelly bean, kinda reminds me of a fat neon... aaaand, I hate them.

Lol like this?



Uncles is black too. But pretty sure they are just taking it to a shop, gonna get a JDM 13b-TT and put it in there, then sell it.

My buddy has a LS6 stroker FD, here is a pic of it:



Plans for that car next summer is a 300 shot. Hopefully gonna get a ride in it sometime soon, and he was telling me to 5.3 turbo my uncles haha.

I hate the shape of the GTO, but it's not a bad car. Also wish it could fit bigger tires. But it's nice for what it is.

If I wanted all-out performance, I'd have bought a Z06 corvette.

It's not good for what it is, it's a fat pile of ****. Should have stayed in Australia and never been labled a GTO.
