Like I said in the other forum, very minimal, clean look. I really like it.

I looks great, now I want a GTO. Oh and you blocked the plates in one of the pics but on the last one you can see it clearly. I doubt anything will happen but it was just buggin me.

It looks good. That thing will be a beast once you install that twin turbo. You will be asking the wife to borrow the car. I know I would.

If you have any rub on those 19's drag bags work. That is what I did to stop the rub when I put the 19's on my GTO. Love the wheels and front clip!

I rolled the lips pretty good, but also have a set of drag bags on standby just in case. Probably put those in before Power Tour anyways, just to keep the car level when the trunk is packed full of crap.

Alex, I already drive the GTO as much as possible. 4x4 diesel trucks aren't as enjoyable as 6-speed LSX cars.

I saw the car at Richie the other day after the front end got done. I'm really liking the finished product.
