I'm thinking about putting a decent amount of money into modding this car. Nothing crazy, but some wheels, maybe tint, and possible a navigation/car computer.

I really like the inlay. The red looks sweet on the black.
Oh and I think I gotta get me some of the '06 taillights. I think they'd look awesome on my yellow.

Volk SF wheels, huper optik tint, remove spoiler, slight drop, good exhaust.

Damn, that looks great baron. I really like the stock spoiler. The rims look awesome though, I will check out the volks. Also, I can't believe anything sounding better than the stock exhaust. Maybe it gets more power, but the burbles and WOT sound is insane!
Those rims look sick!

Oh, the sound gets MUCH better. Anyone who has heard a Vette with an awesome exhaust system should know this. It just enhances the chunky sound of the V8 - I had a video of a GTO with a modded exhaust when I was deciding between the 8 and the GTO, it sounded AMAZING. I still want my GTO, damnit! Stupid insurance companies.
Edit: Found a video of a GTO with headers and exhaust - GTO Exhaust
Oh lordy, those backfires! Drooool...

damn thats a lot of power in that drive way, what a nice family set. I think the GTO are great looking cars but just a littl plain. the interior does make up for it though. They remind me of the supras, long simple lines but they have a lower looking profile. get soem better pictures up!

I really like the GTO's but I was wondering if all the new one's have the same flaw on the rear bumper just below the "GTO". I mean the slight sag in the plastic. I noticed it today when I was checking them out at the local dlr. I see yours does not have the sag. One of them at the dlr looked like someone ran over something that caught the rear bumper upon exit.

Is the red GTO lettering on your car stock? It looks awful...
Anyhow, you and you dad have fun with the GTOs. They're nice cars, I considered one when I got my Evo.

I like the look of the inserts... I'm thinking light silver (basically sunlight silver) would be the way to go against the dark gray on a red car. Matches the emblems.
