I thought it was a cool build that was def out of the norm. It has a lot more in it when he gets it right I think. It is a work in progress.

I admit, GTRs aren't the best looking vehicles.....but that CTS-V takes the cake for ultimate ugliness. The coupe looks ugly enough to begin with, top that with yellow tinted headlights, so cheap looking and so ugly looking.


Thanks for sharing the video. All the Cars were fast and ugly. Haha

The wagons are the best looking () the sedans aren't bad. But those coupes......yuck.

That race was to close to call and I was up front by a fender until we were halfway up the hill in the race and my car was pulling time. We took it to around 180mph and ran out of road due to traffic, but were side by side the whole time.

Here are the only two videos at the moment, shitty quality but you can see I CLEARLY didn't get "walked"

If someone can figure out how to get these onto youtube from FB that would be great. The two people that posted the vids didnt have accounts.

Coupes look sick and original, not another car you can compare it to.

Here are a few shots of the car, the yellow film just like the car style is love it or hate it. Im just lazy and waiting to take it off. I think the wagon is the best looking but others seem to like this car once they see it in person. I still wish I had picked up a wagon but I am a sucker for a good deal so I ended up with a coupe.

The first pic shows it on stock wheels but they have been widened by ericvaughmachine.com to a true 11 inch and running a 305/35/19 r888.

Its was an attempt to tie the black/saffron int, yellow in the emblems, and "planned" yellow calipers. I have since lost interest in the car and plan to move on to something else soon, so I didnt bother getting the calipers done. Your right its a little euro trash for my taste but just trying to think outside the box. I prefer to stand out rather than fit in, hence the V coupe in the first place ha

Red head light tent, red calipers... red interior lights... Those would be my ricer mods for the cts-v. Just see too many honda,350z,rx8's with those darn yellow fog lights and such.

It was more about getting rid of the chrome without blacking the headlights out and since I had the other yellow trim.. But now its just being lazy in not taking the time to pull it off. It was only 40ish dollars so I figured id give it a shot. Ive blown more money on less so no biggy.
